Love this compound and all the hiking paths up around in the surrounding hills. Truly an peaceful property to immerse yourself in work and entertaining! Property taxes are gonna spike for the new buyer though due to prop 13 so make sure to factor that into your offer vs the $15k a year in the listing...
Hopefully whoever buys this gem doesn't tear it down to build some modern boxy McMansion.

Looking at the full set of photos in the Zillow link that esalman posted, sorry, but that kitchen has gotta go.

Incredible kitchen! With the narrow tall doors, brass knobs, and nice touch with the all-pistachio countertops.

I wonder if the price would be significantly different if it wasn't David Lynch's house.

Interestingly, this article made me learn that Frank Lloyd Wright had a son who also was an architect, and that son also had a son that became an architect.
I dunno, I just find that a little bit cool and interesting.

I guess I really don't understand LA house pricing.
I see shacks listed for a million, or is that only SF?
This is 2.3 acres with 3 homes on it and its 15 million.
Although looks like it needs some work.

Actually didn't know Frank had an architect son.
Personally I prefer the Millard House which is similar and probably an inspiration. The Millard House is the archetype Minecraft House.

What a dreary sad anachronistic description.

Anyone know anything about those fluted V-shaped panels everywhere? They look like very heavy cast iron.
My thought was: "Wow, he must've gotten a great deal on those, or else ordered far too many and was stuck finding places for them..."

I don't but wanted to say that I love the continuity of them used in different spaces. The whole place really looks like a single vision put together and not a bunch of disparate rooms.

They remind me of the floor of the black lodge in Twin Peaks.

I'm guessing he liked it, visually.
And just maybe it symbolized something for him. Low maybe.

TFA says “The facade’s cement chevrons catch the sun” but I’m not sure about the ones inside.
Waterluvian · 1h ago
Yeah the outdoor ones definitely look like cement. The indoor ones are probably too. Though they have a patina that makes them look like worn iron.

Lynch made those himself out of grey plaster. They didn't show much of Lynch's studio, but that's where he spent most of his time hanging out, making sculptures and paintings and building things. He was hands on guy who kept himself busy, compulsively so.

I like the contrast between the kitchen and the home theatre, I guess he was not much of a chef haha

It looks nothing like the ending of Blue Velvet.

It certainly looks interesting. You would definitely be living in his style. Compelling as his films were, I'm not 100% convinced I'd want to live in his house that clearly has some very personal motifs.
Also you are never going to get the stale smoke out of there!

I worked on a house occupied by heavy smokers for a couple decades (then they died).
Nicotine yellow everything.
We pumped it full of ozone. That did a good job destinking. Then we painted everything with killz.
We also sterilized the basement with uv deathlights.
