"Lynch's first purchase on the compound was the Beverly Johnson house, a 2,000-square-foot structure designed in 1963 by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Blue Velvet director paid $560,000 for the pink midcentury modern dwelling in 1987. "I personally like Lloyd Wright more than Frank Lloyd Wright," Lynch told the WSJ in July 2024, about six months before his death at the age of 78. "Lloyd Wright is more minimal. More pure. But just as beautiful.""
"In 1989, the Twin Peaks creator bought a two-story Brutalist residence two doors down from the Lloyd Wright home for $542,300. In 1995 he acquired the house in between the two for $346,500. The former served as a filming location for Lynch's Lost Highway; he redid the exterior with thin, slot-like windows to give it an eerie effect for the surreal 1997 film. The latter purchase served as Lynch's studio, hosting a library, a screening room, and a professional editing suite."
"Listing photos show walls lined with velvety gray plaster, wood-paneled workshops where the famed director created furniture and other art pieces (some of which were auctioned off, along with many of his other belongings, earlier this year), and a cheerful kitchen with lime green countertops and round wooden knobs on the cabinets."
The Hollywood Hills compound spans 2.5 acres across five neighboring parcels and includes three primary residences plus multiple accessory dwelling units. The combined interior space totals roughly 11,000 square feet with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The property features a 1963 Lloyd Wright–designed Beverly Johnson house, a two-story Brutalist residence modified for film, and an intermediate house used as a studio with a library, screening room, and editing suite. Additions include a pool and poolhouse by Eric Lloyd Wright, workshops, and distinct interior finishes. The estate is listed with an asking price of $15 million.
