In fact, the bassist and founding member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is now asking $8.8 million for his compound, which had been listed for $9.8 million earlier this year.

The house is a combination platter of mid-century modern structures and modern additions, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Located just outside Los Angeles, the home was designed by architects Richard Neutra and Michael Maltzan in a different era and sits on a hilltop site on six acres.

The original structure was built by Neutra for his secretary, who lived in the 1,350 square foot home for decades.

Classic Neutra details include glass walls, a stone fireplace and many built-ins such as bookshelves, a sofa system with record player, hidden speakers, a desk and even a sliding breakfast area.

Nearly 50 years later, the Maltzan was excavated to add a seven-sided 875 square foot addition with a courtyard in the middle.

In addition to a master bedroom and a superb bathroom, this part of the compound has a study and an office.

Outdoor amenities abound, including a 50-foot swimming pool, a succulent garden, and a movie pavilion with a catering kitchen nearby. There is also an on-site cabana designed by artist Peter Staley.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to make music and travel around the world.

They are currently touring with Post Malone and will travel to New Zealand and Australia, Flea's birthplace.
