The late ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill’s home with his wife, actress Charleen McCrory Hill, is now available for $3.995 million.
It is $505,000 cheaper than the first price of $4.5 million. Constructed in 2016, this single-story, 5,800-square-foot house made of glass and metal is in College Station, Texas. It’s around 107 miles from Austin and 95 miles from Houston. The real estate listing from October 2023 says the home provides amazing views of 78 acres of untouched nature. The listing explained:
“Wrapped in glass, this property allows one to wake up every day to acre upon acre of unspoiled land and a glimmering lake. Sunrises and sunsets are equally as captivating, as this home provides a private front-row seat to the natural show.”
Inside Dusty Hill’s Home
The house has movable walls for different setups, including a dining area, a big living room, and a kitchen with lots of features. It has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, an office, and extra spaces.
Outside, there’s a kitchen, dining area, pool, terraces, a big yard with sculptures, and paths near water. There’s also a building that can be a garage, guest house, or play area. You can buy an extra 294 acres nearby for access to the Brazos River.
His Final Days And Health Struggles
The 72-year-old musician passed away in his sleep at his Houston home on July 28, 2021. In a March 2023 interview with Eddie Trunk, Hill’s bandmate Billy Gibbons opened up about the rocker’s health before he died, explaining:
“Such a great guy. He had his ups and downs; he had bouts with different health issues. I think that he had just worn out, and maybe it was a gift. He went home to sleep, and then the lights were out. So, it wasn’t some protracted weird thing that kept him on the ropes. He played right up till the end. We should be so lucky.”
ZZ Top kept performing after Dusty’s death, with their guitar tech, Elwood Francis, playing the bass. The band’s first concert without Hill was on July 30, 2021, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Hill joined Frank Beard and Billy Gibbons in 1969 to form ZZ Top. The band’s tours and Hill’s smart property investments, like a solar farm he bought and sold for profit, made him wealthy. At his death, Hill was worth $60 million, thanks to ZZ Top’s success and his investments.
