Reese Witherspoon's 'Fear' House Rebuilt as $13M Modern Waterfront Compound
A waterfront property featured in the 1996 psychological thriller 'Fear' has been completely rebuilt and is now listed for 17.8 million Canadian dollars (about $13 million). The original dark, wood-paneled house was demolished after being purchased in 2015 by retired orthopedic surgeon Robin Rickards. He replaced it with a steel-and-glass compound completed in 2021. The roughly 5,000-square-foot residence features a butterfly roof, five bedrooms, heated swimming pool, and private beach access. Located on a peninsula in Lions Bay, British Columbia, the property offers panoramic views of Howe Sound and the Salish Sea. The home last sold in 2015 for 4.9 million Canadian dollars. It first returned to market in 2023 at 30 million Canadian dollars, with subsequent price reductions. The listing is held by Clara Hartree of RE/MAX Masters Realty.
