Bernie Taupin – California, £3.4 Million

Bernie Taupin is a noted lyricist and songwriter; he listed his Santa Ynez Valley property for £3.4 million. The Mediterranean-style mansion sits on a gated estate of 30-acre land. Set on a hill surrounded by oak trees, the main house has a great vaulted-ceiling room that leads to a bar and an entertainment area.

Apart from the five bedrooms and six baths in 5,000 square feet of living space, there is an equestrian center with stables and an outdoor riding area. Taupin has owned the ranch for nearly two decades and has undoubtedly written many great songs within the walls of his home.
