Tom Petty's Malibu, Calif. beach house has officially hit the market for just under $10 million.
The late singer owned the property until his death in October 2017 at age 66 from cardiac arrest, and the remarkable oceanfront home is said to have inspired the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers hit "Something Good Coming."
"When Tom first walked into the home, he just loved the essence and the spirit," says listing agent Chris Cortazzo of Compass. "He loved its originality — it was unpretentious which was very much his spirit. What a luxury for a massive celebrity to walk on the beach and not be bothered."

The plot features two bedrooms and a separate guest house spread out across more than 16,000 square feet of living space and boasts 66 feet of ocean frontage with direct access to Escondido Beach.

The guest house is located just off a private patio and is currently set up as a music studio.
"Tommy always had his recorder and guitar, as he was always writing and creating," Petty's wife, Dana, says. "I remember him writing so many songs there. Three that come to mind are 'Good Things Coming' and Mudcrutch songs 'Beautiful Blue' and 'Topanga Cowgirl.'"
