The text message from Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was succinct: His home “had burnt to a crisp” in the Malibu fires Saturday morning.
Michael Balzary, a.k.a. Flea, had purchased a home for more than $10 million in Malibu last year, but the house that burned was another he owned in the hills west of Corral Canyon. That French country-style home is listed for sale for $4.8 million on the website of real estate firm Pritchett-Rapf & Associates.
The listing includes this description: “Set in a botanical paradise, this private 2.4 acre compound also features a newly refinished pool and spa, private alcoves and pathways throughout the grounds.”
Flea could not be reached again later Saturday.
Flea, 45, has been in the Red Hot Chili Peppers since 1983. The band has sold more than 50 million albums.
