The Jahn House is truly a one of a kind work of art. It is the only residential property ever created by renowned architect Helmut Jahn who has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects as one of the "Ten Most Influential Living American Architects". Situated on stunning Catfish Lake in Eagle River Wisconsin, this home is nestled upon the shoreline of the largest freshwater chain of lakes in the world. This 30' x 30' cube, gridded in three-foot modules and perched on stilts, is meant to distinguish itself from its natural setting and become an ideal object in the landscape. Designed for a wooded slope with lake views, it was a vacation home with the understanding that it would later become a year-round residence. The cube form is reiterated in a grid that is maintained throughout the interior through the use of lattice and open areas and a complex mesh of solid and open panels.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
