This Midcentury Gem Would Make Any Nature Lover Beam With Joy

"Designed by architect Floyd Mueller as his personal residence, 3 Lida Ln was created with the utmost privacy in mind," says listing agent Steve Clark. "The lush setting was intentionally utilized to form a relationship with the home’s clean post-and-beam lines. Walls of glass offer views of the pool, foliage, and mature oak trees, and clear sight lines from one end of the home to the other. This property has been published several times, including in the December 1951 issue of Arts and Architecture magazine. It has only changed hands a few times and has been updated over the years to reflect the original spirit of its design without kitschy or anachronistic aesthetic choices."

This Secluded, Wood-Clad Longhouse in Scotland Is Cozy Incarnate

 "This RIBA award–winning longhouse was designed by the architect Simon Winstanley in 2009," say listing agents at The Modern House. "It sits on 14 acres of private land in an outstanding rural position in Dalry, 20 miles north of Castle Douglas. The architectural design responds intuitively to the site, a natural concave of the hillside. Internal living space extends to over 2,060 square feet across a lateral layout, optimizing the spectacular westerly views over the river Ken valley and the Rhinns of Kells hills. With sustainability at the forefront of the architectural design, the house achieves a low-carbon rating, the highest thermal efficiency rating possible, and two forms of renewable microgeneration. Electricity is generated by a private wind turbine and solar photovoltaic panels."

If You Dream of Life in the French Countryside, We’ve Found the Perfect Escape

"This property presents a place between conviviality and creation," say listing agents at Architecture de Collection. "The living spaces have a warm atmosphere where modernity is expressed in the raw materials left visible and the fluidity of the volumes. The raw concrete beams and pillars rub shoulders with the natural wood veneer of the sloping ceiling, the local stone of the walls of the old barn, and the red terra-cotta floor tiles that cover the floor. The bedrooms face east to capture the sunrise, and the attic retains its impressive original timber frame. Skylights in the roof let in natural light."
