*** COMING SOON ***

Set just north of Lawrence in the scenic Twin Ridge Heights West rural subdivision, this extraordinary 5.6-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own the personal residence and creative sanctuary of beloved Lawrence artist Louis Copt and his wife, Phyllis. Designed and built in 2002, the home reflects a lifetime devoted to art, craftsmanship, and intentional living.

Inspired by the architectural principles of Frank Lloyd Wright, this vertical prairie-style home features expansive overhangs, strong lines, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Inside, the dramatic living room rises to 20-foot ceilings, anchored by a striking fireplace that uniquely backs to a wood-fired pizza oven imported from Italy—blending function, artistry, and gathering space into one unforgettable focal point.

The home itself serves as a canvas, with artistic contributions from local talents Barry Fitzgerald and Kate Dineen woven throughout. Natural light pours into every space, enhancing both the architecture and the home’s gallery-like quality.

Currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, the main level includes a large open studio where Louis created much of his work. This space offers flexibility and can easily be converted back to an additional bedroom and bathroom.

Thoughtfully maintained, the home features a new roof in 2022, tankless water heater, updated deck, and a new septic tank installed in 2023.

Outdoors, enjoy a peaceful setting with a sauna garden and sauna, storage shed, gardening shed, vegetable garden, and native landscaping.

An additional 5-acre parcel directly north is also available, offering expansion potential or added privacy.

A truly rare offering—where architecture, art, and place come together in a way that is nearly impossible to replicate. Disclaimer: Sight unseen offers may be accepted by the Seller. The showing begin date is subject to change, currently scheduled for April 10th.
