Rod Stewart, Looking to Spend More Time in Britain, Lists L.A. Mansion

Since the late 1960s, Sir Rod Stewart and his raspy-voiced anthems have sat at the heart of the canon of English-language rock. And for more than 30 of those years, whether he was belting out “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” in Seoul or “Have I Told You Lately” in London, he called the same nine-bedroom, 12-bath villa in Los Angeles home.

Now, the singer-songwriter is sailing on from his butter-yellow mansion. He has listed the property, which stretches 28,000 square feet and sits on three manicured acres, for $80 million.

Mr. Stewart, 78, purchased the home’s lot for just over $12 million in 1991. Richard Landry, the architect known for dreaming up over-the-top mansions, was enlisted to custom design the home, and its exterior is the epitome of 1990s maximalism. Mr. Stewart’s eight children grew up there.

“Some of my favorite memories to this day are playing football on the pitch every Tuesday,” said Sean Stewart, Mr. Stewart’s oldest son, using the British term for soccer. “And watching movies in the theater with my dad.”

Now, as Mr. Stewart wraps up his residency in Las Vegas, gears up for a North American tour in 2024 and spends more time in both his native Britain and at another home in Palm Beach, Fla., he is ready to move on, those close to the star say.
