A handcrafted Doug Ewing–designed lakefront estate in Pasadena, long favoured by film producers, hits the market for US $6,800,000 (approx. AUD $10,400,000).
Tucked behind dense greenery in Pasadena’s prestigious South San Rafael enclave sits one of Southern California’s most intriguing private homes: a handcrafted lakefront estate designed by acclaimed architect Doug Ewing.
Set directly on Johnston Lake, Pasadena’s only private lake, the residence offers artisan workmanship, rare natural tranquillity and a long-standing family story. It has also served as a popular filming location, appearing in productions featuring Will Ferrell, Kristin Wiig and Halle Berry.
The estate is now listed for US $6,800,000 (approx. AUD $10,400,000).
The home occupies a prized position on Johnston Lake, a spring-fed body of water created in the 1870s when former Los Angeles mayor Prudent Beaudry dammed the San Rafael Creek. Once a public recreational spot known for boating and fishing, the lake later became part of a gated community formed in the 1950s.
