Ready to live out your rockstar fantasies? Kiss frontman Gene Simmons' ultra extravagant pad could be yours for $22 million!
After three decades of bunking in L.A.'s Benedict Canyon, the legendary bassist, 71, and his wife, 63-year-old former model Shannon Tweed, are relocating to a 24-acre spread near Washington State's Mount Rainier, putting their one-of-a-kind abode up for grabs with Douglas Elliman's Josh and Matt Altman.
The couple bought the land in 1984 for just $1.35 million and spent about five years (and a lot more cash) transforming it into the 16,000-square-foot compound it is today.
A long, winding driveway leads to the majestic three-story mansion, complete with seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and plenty of wrought iron accented terraces.

The residence, which was fully renovated in 2000, features a dramatic living room with 30-foot tall ceilings and a glitzy formal dining room with seating for eight under a chandelier. Elsewhere in the manse, there's a wine cellar, a library and a billiards/games room.
While the decadent digs will surely attract some big-name buyers, Simmons doesn't want to pass it on to just anyone. According to reports, he's requested a personal meeting with the next owner to ensure his family jewel is left in good hands.

Don’t expect any problems finding parking: The property has space for more than three dozen cars!
Now that’s how you make a first impression! The domed 40-foot-high foyer features a curved staircase and yellow damask wall coverings.
Simmons said he’ll always think of the estate as “home,” but is moving out of state to escape California’s high taxes.
European flair! The plush family room has a fancy coffered ceiling, stone fireplace and arched French doors.
