Live In Ozzy's Mansion

Ozzy Osbourne's Malibu, Calif. mansion has been on and off the real estate market for the past three years without selling, but you can move in by signing a long-term lease for $25,000 a month.

The La Costa Beach oceanfront estate is one of two California homes the Black Sabbath singer and his family own. It was originally listed for sale for $14 million in March 2006. That was reduced to $10.995 million, but it still didn't sell, according to The Real Estalker blog.

The three-storey house on the Pacific Coast Highway has been available to lease since October, but perhaps the sagging economy has held people back from spending big bucks on furnished 420-square-metre homes with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, because it's still vacant.

White is the dominant colour throughout the master bedroom, dining room and living room, which has a fireplace and three French doors that open to an oceanfront terrace.


Two other bedrooms feature ocean view terraces, while another has a walk-out to the highway side so occupants can monitor traffic jams.

You might not picture the Osbournes as either big readers or fitness buffs, but exercise equipment has been awkwardly placed in a wood-panelled office/library.

The blog reports that the Osbournes sold the Doheny Road house featured in their former reality television show to Christina Aguilera in the summer of 2007. It says they now live in the gated community of Hidden Hills, where they reportedly shelled out about $10 million for a 1,015-square-metre residence with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

You could probably fit more people inside that place than those who watch the family's new Osbournes: Reloaded variety/reality TV show.
