The former holiday home of late Australian music legend Lobby Loyde has hit the market with a price guide of $2.2million-$2.4million.
Located in the famed seaside destination of Portsea, Victoria, 111kms from Melbourne, the delightful beach house features three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms.
Loyde, who died in 2007 aged 65, rose to fame in the 1960s and later produced the first best-selling LP by 80s Oz-rock favourites the Sunnyboys.
The Herald Sun reports Loyd had spent vacations in the house, practising his notoriously loud and aggressive style of music.
He later influenced Australian bands like Rose Tattoo and international stars such as Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.
