Rare Chance To Own a Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home in Wisconsin

I could count on one hand the number of times that one of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes has been for sale to the public, and certainly not at this low price.

I grew up in Wisconsin and Frank Lloyd Wright is a name I've heard since I was a child. It was not uncommon to encounter his work or work inspired by him rather frequently. This is one of the rarest of rare opportunities for home buyers.

Frank Lloyd Wright Homes in Wisconsin

I looked for how many homes Frank Lloyd Wright designed that are in Wisconsin and discovered that Frank created over 150 projects for Wisconsin but only 60 ever came to be.

According to The Top Tours, as of 2021, there are 17 architectural pieces in Wisconsin owned by his administration, and 43 are privately owned. You can take tours of some, a few of the homes offer overnight stays, and now you have the rare opportunity to own a home designed by America's most prominent architect.
