designed for michigan state university art professors alma goetsch and kathrine winckler, the goetsch–winckler house was the only structure built as part of a larger planned usonian community in east lansing, michigan It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
this compact, single-story home embodies wright’s signature usonian principles, featuring an organic connection to the surrounding landscape, use of natural materials, accentuated use of horizontal lines, and open planning with simple massing, allowing this relatively small house feel incredibly spacious
situated atop a knoll on a secluded lot in a quiet neighborhood, the house’s daring carport cantilever leads one alongside a series of french doors to the main entry Inside, the home opens into an expansive living space with a wall of windows that look across a wooded ravine.
with more than three dozen floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light pours into every room, creating a spacious yet intimate feel in the colder months, the underfloor heating will keep your toes nice and cozy!
you’ll also find a quiet alcove with a built-in sofa and gas fireplace, a large kitchen workspace, a modular dining table that seats up to eight, and two cozy bedrooms but beware of the original wright-designed chairs—those wide legs make it easy to stub your toes!
alma goetsch and kathrine winckler, both accomplished artists and longtime professors at nearby msu, infused the home with their passion for integrating art into their daily lives In fact, all of the artwork hung in the home is by none other than Goetsch and Winckler themselves, making the space not only historically significant but also deeply personal.
usonian homes, like this one, were part of wright’s vision for decentralized, affordable, and harmonious american living It should come as no surprise that this home is often considered one of Wright’s most elegant in both form and function.
please let us know if you have any questions We love sharing the home with others, and we'd love to be able to do the same for you.
we offer 10% discounts for k–12 educators, architects and students of architecture, members of the frank lloyd wright building conservancy, the frank lloyd wright foundation, and the frank lloyd wright trust

hi! we're nate and austin, and we're the careful caretakers of the goetsch–winckler house
we realize just how fortunate we are to own this amazing home and, if you’ve met us, you know we love nothing more than sharing this incredible work of art with others in just our first year of owning the home, we’ve given *free* tours to over 200 wonderful visitors!
our goal is to continue sharing the goetsch–winckler house with the community through student art shows, grade school tours, en plein air painting, musical performances, more free tours, and other events that inspire through frank lloyd wright’s extraordinary marriage of art and architecture
offering stays at the home gives others (like you!) the opportunity to experience a rare slice of wright's vision for usonia, while also financially supporting *our* larger vision Your booking will directly contribute to keeping the costs for these events as low as possible while also helping subsidize the very real costs of preserving and restoring this unique structure.
we have a number of projects in the pipeline and can't do it without a little help!
thank you,
