This private bluff property is the signature project of notable architect, Charles E. King and is an outstanding example of Mid-century Modern design in the midwest. With spectacular views of the St. Louis skyline, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright originally began construction at the site. Later the property was acquired by King who constructed and lived in the home as his primary residence.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple outdoor spaces including a floating gazebo and bluff side pool with unmatched sunset views define the space. A unique open floor plan with multiple levels, a floating living room, and 4 bedrooms complete the almost 6000 square foot luxury compound. Blending breathtaking scenery with refined amenities, this home captures the breezy allure of a Southern California hillside retreat—without concerns of wildfires or landslides. Move-in ready and meticulously designed, it also offers a curated furniture package available separately. Price for 5.1 acres. More land available
