From the Agent: "This dramatic, one-of-a-kind, midcentury-modern home was designed by award-winning architect John Michael, whose work was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Offering panoramic mountain views, it is perched above Margaret’s Falls with stairs down for your morning swim or to cast a trout line. The interior finishes are redwood and stone, and the home is a masterpiece of craftsmanship situated on 4.86 fenced, private acres. Enjoy the tranquility of landscaped grounds, private woods, and the sound of falling water from the massive screened porch with a soaring ceiling. The magnificent chef’s kitchen and adjacent bar were recently completely redone and complement the home’s open design. All Buck Hill Falls amenities are within walking distance."

The geometric home offers plenty of privacy, as it sits off the road nestled on a nearly five-acre lot and surrounded by soaring trees.
