An enchanting Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Maine home overlooking the rugged coastline is for sale for just under $5 million.
The 5,000-square-foot home, located on Buckmaster Neck in Stonington — about a four-hour drive from Augusta — is for sale with sweeping views of Deer Isle Thorofare and the surrounding islands.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was designed by local architect James W. Schildroth, whose creativity was focused on making it resemble the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, the late American designer, architect, lecturer and writer.
Schildroth specifically drew on Wright’s “groundbreaking philosophies” to create a “harmonious, spiritual, sleek and functional” space, the real estate listing.
Completed in 2001, the unique home features an abundance of wood finishes that pay homage to Wright’s favorite red cypress tree.

The home’s current owners purchased the land in 1996 and completed construction in 2001, real estate agent Joseph Sortwell said Bangor Daily News.
“It is one of the best built homes along the coast. Every detail was taken into consideration during construction.”
“It’s such a special little oasis,” added Sortwell, a broker and principal at LandVest Inc.’s Midcoast office.
