  • Welcome to 1 Petre Island on Lake Mahopac, where a $12.9M Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home sits waiting to be yours. This mansion is just a fifteen minute helicopter ride north of New York City and features a helipad (of course), a natural bolder built into the framework of the house, and a separate guest cottage built by Wright himself.

    You have to appreciate FLW and mid century modernism to appreciate this house. I don’t think the problem with the house is its design, but instead, with some of the many finishing choices made by the builders in the absence of FLW. It’s looks and feels disjointed which makes it awkward and unliveable which certainly cannot be said of many of his other projects. There are some amazing spaces in and around this home none-the-less. This would make a terrific set for a dinner party thriller movie.

I just have one problem, I don't think wright would have meant to mix his different styles, like low ceilings and ground hugging- Fallingwater with Mayan revival- The great Ennis house together. Mixing two styles has slightly created a break to the otherwise naturally fluid environment of the house. Architecturally very attractive* . The entrance is narrow and small and opens up to a bigger space is just SO MUCH LIKE LLOYD WRIGHT. Fantastic.

    Clearly, those commenting on the aesthetic of this home, suggesting too many angles, looks like a visitor centre, not enough bathrooms, fail to comprehend who Frank Llyod Wright, the architect, is or his style of design. Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time." He believed in designing structures in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture, the very reason for building the topography into a home. Though this home was in fact designed by Wright in 1949, it was not actually built until 1996. Throughout the construction, the owner was in conflict with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which had been established by the architect in 1940 to conserve his intellectual property. The foundation had requested $450,000 to render working drawings from Wright's sketches and supervise construction of the house. Instead, an architect who is a Wright historian was hired and the foundation filed a lawsuit, which ended in a settlement that limited any reference to the structure as merely being "inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright". Had the owner been in a position to claim it as a true Wright design this home would be listed at a significantly higher price.
    One of Wright's most highly acclaimed projects is Fallingwater, a house designed in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. fallingwater.org/
    After its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's "most beautiful job," and it is listed among Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 places to visit before you die." The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named Fallingwater the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was ranked 29th on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA. It and several other properties by Wright were inscribed on the World Heritage List under the title "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" in July 2019.
    During a lunch meeting between Wright, the owner of Fallingwater, and the owner who commissioned the original drawings for the island, Wright had said: "When I finish the house on the island, it will surpass Fallingwater". Unfortunately, due to financial restraints, Wright would never see the island home built.

I also love how unique the shapes of his homes are. Seeing the exact same house design over and over is so boring. Especially lately. Dining room to left/right. Living room left/right.

Unfortunately, too many see the listing for a million-dollar home and they are disappointed when it fails to represent their own expectations. It is, however, a fact of life that different people will have different ideas and preferences. The willingness and ability to appreciate the preferences of others not for oneself but as a consideration of the construction or even the location is beyond anything many can appreciate. At the same time, considerably more need to consider "If you have nothing nice to say, don't."

    The fact that you can fish from your balcony is dope asf to me! Catch something fresh straight to the grill! 👌🏽😋

    just wow! one of the most incredible properties! Just wondering, if any unwanted outsider can hypothetically visit the island on their boat or jetski?

      Yeah. The last safe haven. To hell with gold, it'll be worth its weight (or floor area) in platinum.

      Can the scientific method of analysis determine if zombies float or sink?

      @@henryD9363 Considering they are dead, they won't need to breathe. They could probably just walk across the lake, depending on how deep it is.

    Very nice, I like the look of the homes and I like the idea of having your own Island, the only downer about it is the time it takes from New York City to get there... what if you just got back with your shopping late at night and remembered that you left your house keys on your friend's couch, it would be an hour or longer to get them back then another hour or longer to get back, by helicopter sounds good, but you couldn't have anything heavy for it would alter the flight

    And lets glue rocks to the walls like we are six years old with absolutely no depth to our imagination.

    Absolutely stunning home, however those concrete walls with the rocks lodged in them are horrendous.

    13 million for this island is pretty decent. I'd BUY this place
