One half of producer powerhouse Stargate, Mikkel Eriksen, just flipped a single-story L.A. retreat in the coveted Sullivan Canyon enclave. Partnering with Montalba Architects—the design minds behind Nobu Hotels and Soho House—Eriksen custom-created the lush property asking just south of $15 million.
After establishing Stargate in Norway with Tor E. Hermansen, Eriksen reached global recognition as the recording company worked with talents like Katy Perry and Rihanna. And, this revamped property in sought-after Sullivan Canyon harkens back to his home country.
Flipping is a common celebrity hobby, as seen with those like Scott Disick and Ellen DeGeneres, and perhaps Eriksen has caught the bug. Accustomed to the minimalist design and sleek lines of Scandinavia, it’s no surprise that Eriksen tapped into a serene feel. Taken down to the studs and reimagined with some of the hottest home trends, the 5,127-square-foot home shines with white oak floors, vaulted ceilings, black windows against a white exterior, light wood accents, and lots of sun.
“Old Oak is a totally unique experience,” said listing agent Cindy Ambuehl of Compass. “There are few properties on huge lots with fully lit tennis courts. There are few properties with a complete wellness center with an infrared sauna and cold plunge. There are few properties with an 8th deep large pool and spa.” The list of high-end amenities continues on and on, but Ambuehl is right about the abundance of luxurious details post-flip.
Holding a total of four bedrooms and six bathrooms, there is ample space available for entertaining and hosting guests inside, while unlimited potential waits outside. Two horse stalls await equestrian fans, nodding to the property’s new name “Scandinavian Ranch.”
