Looking at other houses in the neighborhood, it's probably about 10-15% because it's the Lynch residence, and the rest of it is the extent of the land, the number of houses, and, of course, the place where it is.

By way of contrast, this is listed for 2.5x the money on the other side of the canyon:

Beyond stunning, worth its asking price imo.
Just goes to show - I think that looks ghastly.
Looks great for people who don't want to pick and design their own home, pick furniture, design their living spaces.
Maybe that's also because it has a view, while the Lynch compound doesn't really have a view of the city. It has some views, all right.. beautiful trees and nature, and some valley. It's tucked away. Some people like that.
I'll bet the seller makes a hell of a Caucasian!

(Although I guess it isn't really Jackie Treehorn's place, given that the listing says it was built in 2023.)

Jackie Treehorn’s place is the Sheats-Goldstein residence. Both the residence and the owner are worth going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Goldstein appears to be quite an interesting "dude." He's exactly what people mean when they point out that Lynch, while well-off compared to most, was not particularly wealthy by Hollywood standards.
