The California mansion where shamed rock producer Phil Spector murdered Lana Clarkson is on the market, seeking a new owner.
Nicknamed the 'Pyrenees Castle', the Southern France-styled gated chateau sits on two-and-a-half acres of land in Alhambra, with a panoramic view of the San Gabriel Valley around it.
The largest property in the area, the price tag is currently set at $5.5 million but it comes with a dark past.
It's owner, Phil Spector, 79, is currently serving a sentence of 19-years to life for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson in the home's foyer in 2003.

The 40-year-old actress who starred in the cult film 'Barbarian Queen' was found dead at the property on February 3, 2003.
She had suffered a single gun-shot to the mouth and her teeth were found scattered over the floor.
Speaking to Esquire in 2003, Spector claimed Clarkson's death was an 'accidental suicide' and that she had tried to 'kiss the gun' before it inadvertently went off.
In an emergency call from Spector's home, the music virtuoso can be heard saying 'I think I killed someone'.
His driver, Adriano de Souza, says he saw Spector emerge from the back of the home clutching a snub-nosed pistol, shortly after making the call.
In both of his trials - the first ending in a mistrial - jurors were taken to examine the murder scene.

The property surfaced on the market just over a month after the 16th anniversary of Clarkson's death.
The 8,700 square foot home was built in 1925 by Sylvester Dupuy, who modeled the knoll-top structure on a chateau in the South of France.
Its quarter-mile long gated driveway leads up and around to an elegant fountain poised near the home's entrance, and its detached four-car garage.
Inside the turreted 'castle', are nine bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, two home offices, a hair salon and a butler's pantry.
Crystal chandeliers and darkened hardwood flooring are found throughout the mansion's interior.
The fateful foyer is lined with disco-like mirror panels, accented with a marble-floor.
The home also boasts two full kitchens, a games room and an employee quarters, complete with a separate staff entrance.
A number of imposing fireplaces are also found throughout the home, along with wooden beam ceilings and hand-stenciled wall decorations.
Famed for pioneering the 'Wall of Sound' recording technique in the 1960s, Spector produced hits such as 'Be My Baby' by the Ronnettes (pictured with the Ronnettes in 1963)

Spector is eligible for parole in 2028. He will be 88 years old
According to the Wall Street Journal, the home is being sold as part of a divorce settlement with his wife, Rachelle Short, whom he married just before his first trial in 2006.
Spector filed for divorce in April 2016, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. Short was just 26 when they first tied the knot.
Listing agent Ladd Jackson, of Hilton & Hyland, says he doesn't think the home's dark past will hinder its sale.
'L.A. is full of homes with pasts,' he told the WSJ.
Famed for pioneering the 'Wall of Sound' recording technique in the 1960s, Spector produced hits such as 'Be My Baby' for the Ronnettes, and helped to produce the Beatles' 'Let It Be' album.
Spector is eligible for parole in 2028. He will be 88 years old.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
