Location: Sister Bay, Wis.
Price: $4.95 million Picturesque Wisconsin serves as the backdrop for this contemporary home that incorporates Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles of organic architecture. Featuring cedar shake shingles and custom cypress doors and windows, the home seamlessly blends into its natural environment. On 21 acres with 740 feet of Lake Michigan frontage, the home sits in the gated community of Marshall’s Point, just outside Sister Bay. The community includes about 600 acres of common land, with marked trails, a tennis court and a horse stable, according to Kurt Penn, the listing agent with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty. “The owner is a sailor so you’ll see that many of the features in the home have nautical themes,” he said. “The ceilings resemble the hull of a boat upside down.” The home has two offices, two guest suites—each with a private deck—and a work area over the garage could function as an artist’s studio. A staircase leads up to an exercise room in a cupola. “You have glass all the way around,” Penn said, “so you have a 360-degree view.” Listing agent: Kurt Penn, Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty View the full listing
