An exquisitely reimagined mid-century modern landmark estate, elevated to a new height of excellence, unfolds at the end of a private cul-de-sac, revealing a masterpiece of design, artistry, and luxury beautifully harmonizing with 4.5 acres at the end of Eagle Ridge Place. Offered for only the second time since its debut, the gated property is set within the prestigious Blackhawk Country Club, commanding sweeping panoramic views. Spanning 26,627 square feet, the residence is a masterful homage to Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Fallingwater, embodying a refined expression of organic architecture where nature is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of design.
