A mansion with rock music ties is set to change hands.

The eight-bedroom, five-bathroom property called Wolf’s Lair at 2869 Durand Drive in Los Angeles, is where The Beatles reportedly once lived.

Billy Rose of The Agency reveals on the listing that the home “has a storied past with Debbie Reynolds, Marlon Brando and The Beatles all reportedly occupants at various times”.

Rose does confirm on the listing that American musician and songwriter Moby sold the castle-like property to the current owner, and converted the guest house into his own recording studio.

The home has a price guide of $US15 million ($AU22 million).

Wolf’s Lair is positioned up high on nearly four acres of lush gardens and has its own hiking trails.

It resembles a castle with its fairy-tale turrets, sleek white exterior, curved archways and gable windows.

Coffered ceilings and patterned wallpaper add touches of drama to the space, and the kitchen oozes plenty of country charm.

There is also a unique-shaped pool and multiple entertaining zones, some of which offer views of the Hollywood sign and Griffith Park Observatory.

The Beatles, consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, formed in 1960 and are widely considered to be the most influential band of all time.
