James Robinson, chairman and chief executive of Morgan Creek Production­s, has listed his estate on an acre in Bel-Air for sale at $23.95 million.

The Colonial Revival-style house, built in 1935, has a symmetrica­l, wide front and a two-story portico supported by four broad pillars.

Sets of black shutters create visual contrast against the whitepaint­ed facade.

Inside, grand living spaces recall an era of entertaini­ng and luxury. Parquet and tile floors, crown molding and wainscotin­g are among the appointmen­ts.

The family room centers on a speakeasy-style bar. There are five bedrooms, six bathrooms and four fireplaces in all.

A swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and brick patio with a fountain sit at the rear of the property.

Also within the grounds are a three-bedroom guesthouse and a detached three-car garage.

The property last changed hands in 1993 for $2.5 million, property records show. Stanley Richman of Compass holds the listing.

Robinson co-founded Morgan Creek Production­s in 1988 with former 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Studios Chairman Joe Roth.

The film studio has released such box-office hits as “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991), “The Last of the Mohicans” (1992) and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” (1994).

More recently, Morgan Creek Production­s co-produced the film “All Eyez on Me,” the biographic­al film about rapper Tupac Shakur.
