    Michael Eisner’s Son Is Asking $14 Million for a Water-View Estate in Los Angeles

    It’s not his father’s extravagant Malibu spread directly overlooking the Pacific, but it still offers up some particularly stunning water vistas! And after a little more than two decades of ownership, filmmaker Breck Eisner—the eldest son of ex-Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner—is now ready to part ways with his longtime Los Angeles home perched high above the picturesque Stone Canyon Reservoir, asking $14 million.

    That’s several millions more than Eisner and his wife Georgia Irwin paid for the Bel Air digs back in 1993. But the couple—he a producer and director probably best known for the 2005 movie Sahara starring Matthew McConaughey and Penèlope Cruz, and she a fellow producer and director—did give the main residence an extensive remodel during their tenure in collaboration with noted L.A. designer Michael Palladino , gleaning inspiration from their honeymoon adventures in Bali and Thailand.

    “They envisioned an organic, open sanctuary that had a direct connection to nature,” says Melissa Alt, who shares the Scenario Lane listing with David Mossler, both of Douglas Elliman.

    The main home is described as a “contemporary California take on traditional New England saltbox forms.”

    Resting amid six parcels spanning 1.2 acres, the water-view estate is showcased by a towering four-bedroom, three-bath main home that’s described in marketing materials as a “contemporary California take on traditional New England saltbox forms.” There’s also a detached two-story glass, steel, and concrete workspace known as “The Cube” that previously served as a studio for Eisner’s production company.

    Originally built in the early 1980s, the stained-pine and zinc-roofed primary dwelling is secluded beyond a lengthy gated driveway and introduced via a boulder-embedded set of stone steps that ascends to a glassy front door. From there, an entry foyer flows to a spacious great room holding a combined living and dining area with pocketing doors spilling out to a trellis-covered deck offering up scenic canyon and reservoir vistas. An adjacent kitchen is outfitted with German-manufactured teak cabinetry, Jura limestone countertops, an expansive island, top-tier Gagganeau, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook.

    The two-story “Cube” workspace has its own kitchenette, sleeping loft, and terrace.

    An upstairs playroom is surrounded by a trio of bedrooms, while the self-contained primary suite up above is decked out with a built-in bed, a private balcony, operable skylights, a ceiling-mounted retractable projection screen, two bespoke dressing rooms, and a luxe bath spotlighted by dual limestone vanities and a soaking tub. A lower level has a gym with access to an outdoor shower and a family room that opens to a 60-foot lap pool and a spa tub. Elsewhere is a subterranean den/office with a window that peers into the pool.

    Outdoors, the Pamela Burton-landscaped grounds include a pathway that traverses to the aforementioned multi-purpose workspace, which has its own living area, kitchenette, bath, sleeping loft, and terrace. Also on the property is a gas fire pit encircled by native plants and cultivated gardens, a children’s play area, and a solar panel-clad carport with EV charging stations and room for up to seven vehicles.
