According to the sources found on the internet, James owned a house that he sold to the current owners at the price of 3.4 million dollars in the year 2003. Located in Novato, California, this house has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 half-bathhouses featuring a saltwater pool and a timber outdoor kitchen, all within the space of 5 acres. The reason behind selling the house is that James was irritated by hikers eradicating his property now and then.

Background: James Hetfield

James was born on August 3, 1963, in a place called Downey, California, the son of Vigil Lee Hetfield (father and a truck driver) and Cynthia Bassett (mother and a light opera singer). His descendants were English, German, Irish, and Scottish. When Hetfield was 13, his parents divorced, with his 2 half brothers from his mother’s first marriage and a younger sister.

He was brought up in a family who were strict Christian Scientists and even when his mother Cynthia was dying they disapproved of medicine or any kind of medical treatment to her. She died of cancer in the year 1980, and his father, Vigil, died in late 1996. Their upbringing became his inspiration to write songs during the Metallica era. Some of the songs like “the god has failed..”, “Justice for All,” and “Dyers Eve” by Metallica show the pain he faced in childhood. 

James used to attend Downey High School. He graduated from Brea Olinda High School in the year 1981. He was only 9 years old when he started his journey with his piano lessons, and at the age of 14, he started playing guitar with Robert Oknar. James mentioned that there are some reasons to play guitar.

As a teenager, he was also a part of a few band’s leather charms, and Obsession was one of them.
