Courtney Love's former mansion is in major disrepair.
Once a quiet country retreat owned by one of rock's most infamous figures, this forgotten home now tells a very different story. Bombshell photos reveal the shocking state of Courtney Love's former mansion in Olympia, Washington - a property left to rot, daubed in graffiti and scarred by years of neglect. Hole may be the name of the singer's old band, but it's also an uncomfortably fitting description of the crumbling house she bought in the mid-1990s, shortly after the death of her husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
The three-bedroom cottage, set on nearly seven acres of secluded land, was once intended as a private escape. Instead, images show broken bricks scattered across floors, fire damage to outbuildings and stables sprayed with graffiti. Listed years later as a "major fixer" and "not for the faint of heart", the once-idyllic property was eventually sold at a heavy loss - leaving fans stunned by just how far it had fallen.
Once part of Courtney Love's sprawling country retreat in Olympia, Washington, the former eight-stall stables now sit abandoned and exposed. The brick building is daubed in graffiti, its doors hanging open to the elements, offering a stark glimpse of how the singer's former rural escape fell into serious disrepair.
Another exterior shot shows the scale of neglect across the property, with boarded sections, peeling paint and graffiti scrawled across the walls. The outbuilding forms part of the seven-acre estate Love bought in 1995, which was later described by estate agents as a "major fixer" requiring "everything" to be done.
Inside one of the outbuildings, bricks lie scattered across the floor as graffiti covers almost every wall. The interior space, once intended for practical use on the estate, has been left completely derelict, reflecting the years of abandonment before the property was eventually sold at a significant loss.
A closer look inside reveals brightly coloured graffiti sprayed across the interior walls, with daylight streaming through broken openings. The damage highlights the extent of decay across the estate, which included a guest cottage with fire damage.
The former garage structure stands stripped back and exposed, with flaking paint, damaged roofing and bare interiors visible from the open frontage. Overgrown weeds creep towards the entrance, underlining how long parts of the property were left untouched.
A wider view shows multiple buildings spread across the secluded Olympia site, with visible damage to roofs, windows and exterior walls. Once intended as a peaceful rural hideaway, the collection of structures had deteriorated badly, reinforcing why estate agents warned buyers the property was "not for the faint of heart".
