Max Weinberg, drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, has hit the hi-hat when it comes to real estate. The 65-year-old snagged a beautiful Lake Placid building lot for $2 million, the Lake Placid News website reported.

The Minister of the Big Beat, who’s also well-known for his former role as bandleader for Conan O’Brien‘s late-night TV show, is named as the buyer on property records.

According to the publication, the price set a record for the Adirondack building lot, at a little over $1 million per acre for the 2-acre spread.

Noting rare road access to the property, listing agent Mike Damp of Sotheby’s says, “You can only drive by car to roughly a third of Lake Placid Lake. The rest of the access is by boat only. This factor raises the market value for the handful of road-access properties on the waterfront market.”

The site opens up the possibilities for a rockin’ retreat, with stunning views of Whiteface Mountain and private lake frontage that is an “ideal site for a camp and boathouse,” according to the listing.

The lot also features a manicured lawn, wooded border, and driveway access. There’s a level space perfect for building a vacation retreat, which gradually slopes down to the lake.

“The lot that sold to Max Weinberg was a very rare parcel with spectacular mountain views,” Damp says.

Spectacular views aside, we think we know what might have sealed the deal. Perhaps the rocker was inspired by what looks to be a perfect drum circle on the land. We can envision many a starry night spent sharing a good drum beat with friends and family. Band camp, anyone?
