The one-of-a-kind estate of the late and great American filmmaker David Lynch is available for $15 million. Lynch spent decades assembling and designing his Hollywood Hills compound, which hit the market this week almost eight months after.
Photos of the 2.5-acre property reveal a creative sanctuary crafted in much the same style as Lynch’s iconic films — dreamlike environs and mid-century modern aesthetics come together in moody, yet mundane scenes of his daily life.The hillside compound includes 10 beds and 11 baths across seven structures. The array includes a pink house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s son and a brutalist studio where “Mulholland Drive” was produced. Oscar de la Renta muse seeks $5.49M for her opulent NYC homeLynch began assembling his hilltop hideaway in 1987 with the $560,000 acquisition of the Beverly Johnson House, the Journal reported. The pink home was designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, in 1963. Lynch apparently preferred the son, previously telling the Journal that Lloyd Wright was “more minimal. More pure. But just as beautiful.”The three-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot residence exemplifies the Wright penchant for organic textures, bold geometric lines, walls of windows and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Striking cement chevron patterns dot the home’s interiors and exteriors. Lynch kept it in the family in 1991 by tapping the son of Lloyd Wright, Eric Lloyd Wright, to design his pool and pool house.The building’s foreboding exterior and warm wood interiors even featured in Lynch’s 1997 surrealist neo-noir horror “Lost Highway.” A professional-grade editing suite and a lecture hall-like screening room numbered among Lynch’s tailor-made additions to his property. Elsewhere sits a hilltop guest house where Lynch filmed his beloved “Weather Report” series, shared daily on his YouTube channel throughout the pandemic. The hilltop aerie and other standalone living spaces on the compound are coated in the same smooth gray plaster. Although Lynch’s films and TV series made him a household name, the director was a similarly dedicated studio musician, painter, sculptor and furniture maker. He constructed workshops throughout the compound to host these hobbies. Some of Lynch’s own metalwork can be found throughout the compound, the Journal reported.The presence of two generations of Wright designs likely secures the property from total redevelopment, all but ensuring that the compound will always have a Lynchian touch.Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska's look of horror after she was fatally stabbed on train — as her final moments are revealedMansions are selling at a record clip in this famously wealthy NYC suburb -- and for mighty pricesOlivia Wilde turns heads in completely sheer top at NYFW
