Steve Harris would like to turn his English house into a boutique hotel for fans. The Iron Maiden bassist initially put his eight-bedroom mansion in Essex, UK up for sale in 2012 with a price tag of £6.75 million. Five years later and the nine-acre property is currently listed at £3.95 million.

"It was a little bit crazy to start with, because when I first put it (on sale), I wasn't really sure if I wanted to sell it," Harris told Swedish radio station Bandit Rock. "Cause I was abroad, and I thought, 'Well, I don't know if I'm gonna really wanna stay abroad,' so I put it at a silly price, and I thought if somebody wants to pay silly money for it, then they're welcome to it. But then I brought the price down. It's actually a very reasonable price now."

If there aren't any takers in the near future, Harris ponders the possibilities. "In an ideal world, I'd like to turn it into a boutique hotel, and I think Maiden fans would go there. I had a small bar in Portugal - called Eddie's Bar - which is no longer open; it closed a few years ago. But people used to come from all over the world just to go to that little bar, and I think maybe they would go to the house. We recorded some albums there too, in the studio - Fear Of The Dark, and a few others - and there's lots of memorabilia there. So… I don't know. That would be a nice plan. A boutique hotel… it means I could still stay there as well, which would be great. It'd be an ideal world for me, really."
