Jimmy Page’s boathouse on sale
December 11th, 2007
If you are a rich Led Zeppelin fan this is your opportunity to live in the very place where the band was born in 1968: The Boathouse, in Pangbourne, West Berkshire.
Jimmy Page bought the Boathouse in 1967 when he was still a member of The Yardbirds. A year later, he was introduced to Robert Plant and he later invited him to stay at the Boathouse to discuss his proposals to create a new band. It was also at this house where Led Zeppelin -The New Yardbirds at the time- rehearsed for their for their first gigs at The Marquee Club. It was also filmed at this location the part where Jimmy Page plays the hurdy-gurdy by the riverside in the movie “The Song RemainsThe Same”.
This is not the only famous house that the guitarist owned in England, he also lived at Boleskine House, the legendary hunting lodge in Loch Ness that used to be owned by the magician Alistair Crowley, the beautiful Towe House at London’s Holland Park built by Waterhouse that he bought from the actor Richard Harris, and Mill House in Windsor, which he bought from Michael Caine.

Jimmy’s hurdy-gurdy sequence in The Song Remains The Same was filmed at
Plumpton Place, his moated country manor estate in Sussex, not Pangbourne.

I am also a big time member of the ledzeppelin.com site, slightly more respected than Steve A. Jones because of my ties to the band–that’s neither here nor there–I am just here to confirm that what Steve says above is indeed factual.
