Frank Lloyd Wright protege Wesley Peters designed this incredible home composed of overlapping concentric circles. The private 80-acre estate offers total privacy with nature trails, a stream and a pasture. It includes a high tech roof and a five-car Wright-style garage. It is located in Vermont, Wisconsin which is about a half hour away from Madison. The home has been through a remodel and restyle but maintains the vision of the original architect. It is listed at $2 million.

What a great piece of architecture. Hope the new owner has a good designer who will furnish it the way it should be done. And again, we have a "new" kitchen that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the architectural integrity of the house. You would think anyone who owns this kind of a house would understand what should and should not be done... Go figure.

I agree with the above comment about the kitchen. It's a crime to install a cookie-cutter kitchen in a house like that. That being said, I love how truly lived-in this house is. All the little details and personal items really give it a relaxed feel.

My parents commissioned this house - it was their dream home and our family had many wonderful times there. Despite it's size, it is a warm, inviting home that we loved. The remodel is interesting and the landscaping is beautiful. Vermont Township is filled with interesting, friendly neighbors and provides some of the most beautiful scenery in the area. The pictures are great, but they don't do it justice. There's so much more to see! I have the history of the location and the details of the building process which took a couple of years. When my parents listed it back in the early 80s for $750,000 it was the most expensive home ever listed in Dane County (according to the Wisconsin State Journal). How times have changed!
