JAKARTA - A house in California that was almost bought by legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix at the end of his life was sold for 3.8 million US dollars.

Built in 1968, this 4,682 square foot Spanish-style house was designed by Harry Gesner. Accessed by a long, private, largely renovated estate entrance, this home contains some textured vintage details.

Extremely private and surrounded by nature, this house is located on the Post Office Treaty in Topanga, with mature oak trees and 360-degree views of the sea and Topanga State Park.

Widely recognized as one of the most creative musicians of all time, Hendrix's influence with his genre-defying blues, funk, soul jazz, and R&B mix still influences musicians around the world today.

Hendrix pioneered the explosiveness of the electric guitar. Its innovative style combining fuzz, feed back and controlled distortion created new musical forms and their influences resonate today.

Hendrix died under pressure from his own vomit from a drug overdose on September 18, 1970 at the age of 27.

Hendrix's 1968 album, Electric Ladyland, hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
