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.
