Gene Simmons is ready to move on from his Las Vegas mansion less than five months after he was reported to have purchased hit.
The 72-year-old Kiss frontman put the two-story home on the market for $14.95 million, People reported on Thursday.
'This home offers so much, from its incredible sweeping valley views and its contemporary modern architecture to its dedication to privacy and exclusivity,' said listing broker Evangelina Duke-Petroni from the Ivan Sher Group.
Quick turnaround: Kiss frontman Gene Simmons, 72, is selling his home near Las Vegas for $14.95 million, People reported on Thursday. The bassist and singer was reported to have bought the home just five months earlier for $8 million
Simmons' six-bedroom and eight-bathroom Vegas home has a much more modern feel than the Beverly Hills home he sold in September thanks to its angular exterior covered in floor-to-ceiling windows.
Visitors coming to the mansion will pass over an eye-catching floating entryway that passes over a soothing koi pond.
The mansion isn't as spacious as the one he most recently sold, but it boasts large rooms with more than enough space for family and guests.
It would seem ideal to beat Vegas' dry heat with its stately minimalist pool outside, and there's also a hot tub that would be perfect for a breezy evening.
However, Simmons told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Nevada's punishing heat was a major factor in his quick decision to ditch the mansion.

Searching for a bargain: He previously said he wanted to leave California due to its higher tax burden
After saying that 'taxes' were his primary motivation in moving from California to Las Vegas, Simmons told the publication that his family didn't want to move to the home because of how hot the area was.
Although he gave the mansion a shot for a few months, once he went on tour it sat vacant as his family wasn't willing to live there, so he opted to put it back on the market for almost twice what he paid for it.
When the rocker was asked if he might buy another home in the area, he replied: 'Can you speak with God and change the weather?'
Despite saying he's done with California, Simmons isn't completely leaving the state, as he purchased a $5.8 million hilltop home in Malibu in March that's considerably more modest than the Vegas or Beverly Hills mansions.
The home sits on just under one acre of land and features a garden with an incredible 133 trees, which cost $1 million to plant, as well as artificial turf that should appeal to climate-focused buyers who don't want to waste water in the desert setting.
It's also ideal for fans of the outdoors who can stand the heat, as there are walking trails near the property for a scenic stroll.
