The oceanside Carmel Highlands house where Sharon Stone’s character lived in “Basic Instinct” is back on the market for $30 million.

The Lodge at Spindrift, built in 1983 by adventurer Steve Fossett, is one of five homes in the Seven Coves residential compound that was listed for just over $52 million in 2019, the San Francisco Business Times reported. The property was divided into individual parcels and the main house got a makeover and a new list price.

Gary Vickers paid about $15 million for the home in 2018, before it was listed with the rest of the compound.

“The current owner spent millions on renovations,” listing agent Jonathan Spencer told SFGate. “The home lives like new construction.”

The 12,100-square-foot, six-bedroom house has an updated kitchen with new appliances, a wood-burning pizza oven and a climate-controlled wine wall. Updates include remodeled bathrooms and two new bedrooms. The home also has a steam room and commercial-scale gym with water views.

A two-story library with a winding staircase and domed ceiling remained after the renovations, as did a glass-walled breakfast room. The outside pool with a multilevel waterfall was updated with new equipment and plumbing. The owner also added new lighting and a seating area with a fire pit to the backyard.

The property was also featured in an episode of HBO’s “Big Little Lies.”
