The Hollywood Hills compound of the late filmmaker David Lynch has hit the market for $15 million, the listing shows, almost eight months after his death at 78. The 2.5-acre property includes multiple standalone buildings, a production studio where Lynch produced Mulholland Drive, and custom facilities built for the director’s film and art work.
The collection of seven structures spans 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, and includes a pink primary residence designed in 1963 by Lloyd Wright, the son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Lynch began assembling the compound in 1987 with the purchase of the Beverly Johnson House for $560,000 and added buildings and workshop space over subsequent decades.
The property’s buildings reflect a range of midcentury and brutalist influences. Lynch retained Eric Lloyd Wright, a descendant of Lloyd Wright, to design a pool and pool house after acquiring the site, and the pink primary residence exemplifies Wright’s emphasis on organic textures, bold geometric lines and indoor-outdoor flow. A separate boxy, cement-clad building served as Lynch’s personal production studio; its foreboding exterior and warm wood interiors were featured in Lynch’s 1997 film Lost Highway.
Lynch customized the compound with a professional-grade editing suite, a lecture-hall–like screening room and multiple workshops to support his pursuits as a musician, painter, sculptor and furniture maker. The estate also includes a hilltop guest house where Lynch filmed his Weather Report video series, which he shared daily on his YouTube channel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Journal reported that some of Lynch’s own metalwork and handcrafted pieces remain on the grounds.
Marc Silver of The Agency holds the listing. Silver told media outlets he hopes a fan of Lynch will take an interest in the property. The presence of two generations of Wright design — the Lloyd Wright house and later work by Eric Lloyd Wright — is likely to limit the scope of any major redevelopment, according to the listing materials and people familiar with the sale.
Lynch had previously described Lloyd Wright’s aesthetic in an interview with The Wall Street Journal as “more minimal. More pure. But just as beautiful.” The director steadily expanded the hilltop enclave over more than three decades, adding studio spaces and living quarters tailored to his creative process.
The listing was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and has been covered by other outlets. Lynch’s films and television work made him a prominent figure in American cinema; his estate now offers a rare glimpse into the physical environment he cultivated for filmmaking and artistic practice.
