A Rare Frank Lloyd Wright Home Lists for $4.3M in California’s Central Valley
21200 Center Avenue in Los Banos, California, is currently listed for $4,250,000 by Crosby Doe of Crosby Doe Associates.
“In imagining the ideal setting for living a full, free, and rich life, Frank Lloyd Wright strove for an architecture where: ‘We have no longer an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside, and the inside may and does go outside. They are of each other. Form and function thus become one in design and execution if the nature of materials and method and purpose are all in unison.’ That this unity is achieved at Fawcett Farm cannot fully be conveyed by words and pictures, but only by direct experience,” says listing agent Crosby Doe. “Sited on 76 acres of land in California’s Central Valley, the residence and surrounding gardens afford an island of peace rising from the crops and merging with the distant mountains on the far horizon. A multi-award winning, world-class restoration and enhancements to the landscape, gardens, and security have been completed by the second owners in consultation with Eric Lloyd Wright, and overseen by Taliesin Associate architect Arthur Dyson.”
