On the rural outskirts of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Frank Lloyd Wright designed The Acres, a landmark subdivision of just five modest homes set amid 71 acres of naturalistic surroundings. The genre-defining architect crafted four of those modestly proportioned residences in his signature Usonian style, while the fifth was handled by an architect who trained at his Taliesin School. One of the Wright homes has recently become available for almost $2.3 million. The low-slung concrete block abode remains true to its origins with Cherokee red concrete floors, extensive built-ins, and an easy relationship to the outdoors. Meanwhile, "Traitors" mania has swept the globe, and Tawstock Castle in the U.K.'s southwestern flank offers an opportunity to play out your own reality TV competition in baronial style. The 18th-century stone fortress, capped by a handful of crenellated turrets, lords over about eight acres with picturesque views of Devon's Taw Valley. |
