\n\tA waterfront property that appeared in the 1996 psychological thriller\u00a0Fear\u00a0is back on the market\u2014but these days, it looks a lot more like a soaring billionaire wellness retreat than the setting for one of the 1990s\u2019 most unhinged teen stalkers.<\/p>\n

\n\tLong before Mark Wahlberg<\/a> was pounding on the front door of a low-slung contemporary cabin, its biggest draw was always the dramatic setting. Perched at the tip of a peninsula in Lions Bay just outside Vancouver<\/a>, the land is bordered by nearly 400 feet of shoreline with panoramic views of Howe Sound, the Salish Sea, and the surrounding islands stretching in every direction.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the film, the home belonged to Reese Witherspoon\u2019s family and was the setting for some of the movie\u2019s most chaotic scenes as Wahlberg\u2019s obsessive boyfriend character spiraled further off the rails. However, the dark, wood-paneled house seen on screen disappeared years ago. After\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0purchasing the property in 2015, retired orthopedic surgeon Robin Rickards tore down the original residence and spent years creating the steel-and-glass waterfront compound that now occupies the site. The new home was completed in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat stands today is a butterfly-roofed composition of clean lines and soaring glass walls that facilitate an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living. The roughly 5,000-square-foot residence, with five bedrooms, spills onto sprawling waterfront terraces with a heated waterside swimming pool and private beach access. According to the\u00a0Vancouver Sun, Rickards said wildlife sightings are part of daily life, from bald eagles and sea lions to humpback whales and orcas.<\/p>\n

\n\tEven without the original home still standing, the Hollywood connection gives the property a certain bragging-rights appeal. It\u2019s not every day that a house linked to one of filmdom\u2019s most memorably deranged movie villains also comes with sunsets dramatic enough to deserve their own IMAX screening.<\/p>\n
