David Lynch’s Hollywood Hills compound has hit the market. Its asking price? $15 million.
Lynch, who died in January, lived on the 2.5-acre estate for over 35 years, and created “Mulholland Drive” and “Lost Highway,” and many more of his works there.
According to listing agent Marc Silver of The Agency Beverly Hills, the Beverly Johnson house was designed in 1963 by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. Recognized by Historic Places LA as an excellent example of mid-century modern/organic residential architecture, the house “embodies the drama of hillside modernism with bold geometry, walls of glass, and a seamless flow between indoors and out.”
After buying the initial property, Lynch expanded and acquired the two neighboring residences on Senalda Drive, including the site of Asymmetrical Productions, his production company.
His home featured both a private editing suite and screening room. Lynch later commissioned Eric Lloyd Wright in 1991 to design the pool and pool house.
Later, he added a two-story guest house and another unique one-bedroom living space finished in his favored smooth grey plaster. Together, the three residences and ancillary structures formed the compound.
The visionary director who died in January was behind the “Twin Peaks” TV show and films such as “Blue Velvet.” He melded elements of horror, film noir, the whodunit and classical European surrealism
