Big Bear has long been a low-key escape for Hollywood, with everyone from Britney Spears and Richard Karn to boxer Oscar De La Hoya owning or spending time in the mountain community. But the lake has historically been better known for cozy cabins and A-frames than for the highly designed houses found in Aspen or Tahoe.
That may be starting to change. A new lakefront property called Waterview is coming to market for $15 million, bringing nearly 7,200 square feet of contemporary design to about 1.5 acres with 100 feet of direct frontage on Big Bear Lake. It’s one of the more ambitious residential projects to hit the area and a good example of how the look of Big Bear is evolving.
The house was developed by Los Angeles couple Beau Laughlin and Lindsey Gort, who have previously worked on homes in Palm Springs and Lake Arrowhead. Laughlin, who came to residential design from the restaurant world, launched his design-build firm Framework in 2018. Gort is an actress known for The Carrie Diaries and Lucifer.
