Actress Lindsey Gort, best known for playing Samantha Jones in The Carrie Diaries, and award-winning restaurateur Beau Laughlin (the mind behind LA’s Atrium, Pinky’s, Sawyer and Kettle Black) have listed their stunning waterfront estate overlooking Southern California’s Big Bear Lake. This ultra-luxury, newly built estate is listed for a staggering $15 million. Sitting on more than 1.5 acres and with more than 10,000 square feet under its roof, the main residence spans 7,000 square feet. The home intentionally incorporates natural materials, including sustainably sourced timber, natural stone and brick tile, all seamlessly blending into its surrounding landscape.
With seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, lakeside rooms offer expansive views. One of the main centerpieces of the home is its central atrium and courtyard, which connects two wings of the house. Primed for entertaining, the home and its grounds boast a full wet bar, wine and beverage refrigeration, expansive patios, soaking tubs and various outdoor seating areas.
“I took everything I’ve learned about building spaces where people gather, from restaurants and bars, to hotels and resorts, and applied it here: a place that flows room to room, floods with light, and never lets you forget you’re on the water,” Laughlin says. Overnight guests enjoy all the amenities of a five-star resort, including a cedar sauna, recreation room and home office.
Along with its famous owners, the estate also had its turn in the spotlight, serving as Dr. Stephen Falken’s home in the 1983 film WarGames.
Dani Rosenthal of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty + Neyshia Go of Sotheby’s International Realty have the $15 million listing at 39224 Waterview Drive.
