    The sprawling property sits over 5.26 hectares, and boasts sweeping mountain views, a salt water swimming pool and music shed. 

    It was in the music shed that Bowie supposedly reworked his 1983 hit, China Girl, which he originally wrote with Iggy Pop.

    ‘Bowie scribbled the lyrics all over the walls of the shed, but the original words have unfortunately been painted over by the old owner,’ said real estate agent Janis Perkins.
