Atlantic crossing: Rod Stewart to sell up LA mansion and move back to UK

Singer lists nine-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 28,000 sq ft property for $80m. It comes with a full-size football pitch, but not his legendary train set

Rod Stewart has put his Los Angeles mansion on the market for $80m, as he prepares to spend more time living at his UK residence.

“It’s just time,” estate agent Tomer Fridman told the New York Times, which first reported the listing. “The whole family lived there for 30 years. The children grew up there, and he’s got grandchildren already. He’s touring, and he lives in Europe a lot of the time.”
