Deadhead residence
For the diehard Deadhead, living in Jerry Garcia's home would be the ultimate trip. The Marin County, Calif., home of The Grateful Dead's beloved lead guitarist/singer/songwriter is on the market for $3.99 million. The Mediterranean-style estate 30 miles north of San Francisco sits on nearly 11 acres with views of Mount Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean and the Berkeley, Calif., skyline.

Inside Garcia's home
The home has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two half-baths and a six-car garage. The marble entryway with a modern, dramatic staircase might not be the kind of place you'd imagine the bearded singer would call home, but he lived in the house until his death in 1995.

Garcia's grounds
The grounds are landscaped with natural forest and mature palm trees around a 73,000-gallon swimming pool. The property is self-sustaining, with a deep well, its own water-treatment facility, a large propane generator and a vegetable garden near the main house.

Ready to drive 55?
The garage has parking for a rock-star-size car collection. Apparently, Hagar had 15 cars, including the 1983 Ferrari 512 Boxer that was featured in his "I Can't Drive 55" video.

Fit for a Beatle
If you are a Beatles fan, Paul McCartney's home at 9550 Heather Road in Beverly Hills, Calif., might make you swoon. Apparently, it's not called "Heather House" in honor of McCartney's ex-wife, Heather Mills, who did not get the house in the divorce, but because of the street address.

Rock royalty
The home was built in 1937 and has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It is listed for $15.5 million. Adding to the rock legacy of this place, it so happens that McCartney bought the Beverly Hills mansion from rocker Courtney Love as an engagement present to Mills.

Now playing
In addition to the main house, there is a state-of-the-art screening room with a separate entrance. While McCartney didn't spend much time in this California home, he had an attachment to the place because it is where fellow Beatle George Harrison died in 2001.
