172 Wayside, McAlester - $1,100,000.00

Architect-designed, Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired, home. This Frank Lloyd Wright inspired masterpiece, designed by renowned Architect Robert Vahlberg, is sited just outside McAlester, Oklahoma. The back of the house, including the master bedroom, faces east so each morning begins with the sunrise over a natural scene reminiscent of “Sherwood Forest”, complete with a babbling brook, pond, and wildlife that changes with the seasons.

This house is an impressive structure lovingly designed to intertwine with the surrounding nature, sunlight, elevation, water, stone, and human presence. Award-winning architect Robert Vahlberg, a known admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the home with the same concern Wright expressed: “There must be a natural house—one that belongs to a hill as much as the trees or the rocks — and must lend a useful hand in revealing the fairness of the earth.”

The home is sited on the brow of a hill, with its walls, windows, pillars, roofs, floors, and usable spaces creating a fully realized blend of nature and shelter. The sweeping views and open rooms capture the spirit of unity between man and nature — a visual metaphor that makes this house both restful and alive.

Architectural Experience: The design evolves directly from nature — sun orientation, elevation, water flow, and view corridors, all principles used by Wright. Ceilings are elevated throughout the main house, especially in the Great Room, and the design echoes mid-century modern while still feeling futuristic. Upgraded to a fully modern smart-home with today’s best technology integrated within the original architectural vision.

Entry & Grounds: A long-lit fence and wrought-iron gated entrance leads to a private 3-car garage and guest facility built into the hillside with a self-designed aqueduct system channeling water beneath the home. The recreation area accommodates a pickleball/volleyball space, golf driving net, and a 40-foot scuba-capable pool.

Guest Facility: Includes heated/cooled garage, pool bathroom, tool room, commercial vented BBQ on the ground floor.  The second floor features a kitchen, laundry, service deck, bedroom, event floor and bandstand — following Wright’s belief in social gathering space.

Outdoor Living & Nature: Stone walkways lead to fishing and kayaking areas, a gazebo beside the brook, and gated RV parking area with forest trails beyond.

Smart Home & Systems: Includes 4 HVAC systems, 3 water heaters, remote blackout blinds in every room, and automated master bedroom controls.

Master Suite: The master bedroom adjoins a new spa bathroom that includes granite finishes, heated floors, waterfall shower/steam room, and a Swedish soaking tub overlooking the pond and trees.

Kitchen & Great Room: The recently upgraded kitchen with modern appliances, original custom cabinets, features clear views of both the forest and front-yard landscape. The Great Room features an upgraded fireplace, Wright Foundation approved furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering year-round views of nature.

Massage Room / Jacuzzi: A 12-person enclosed Jacuzzi occupies the former massage room — overlooking forest views. Decks connect the bedrooms and lead outdoors to the pool and pond and shaded sitting areas without entering the main house.

Structural Integrity: The entire structure is built on welded steel I-beams.  A feature that could be cost prohibitive to reproduce today. This elevates the entire home off the ground and into the trees giving it a commanding view of the landscape and further emersion into nature.

Game Room with Hidden Loft: A large wood-paneled game room features pool table, ping-pong, foosball, media space, large closet, and hidden loft.
