Choppering in and out of there will be great for the environment. Blame yourselves when the sea-level rise washes your houses away, Brangelina.

All I got was a pair of tube socks.

While Frank Lloyd Wright designed some great structures, his engineering suffered over the esthetics. I think they’ve had to fix, ‘falling water’s’ foundation several times.

Pitt once said,“When I discovered Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright, it changed my life.”

It "changed your life?"

Yet another example of the hypocrisy of the left.

While they don’t mind seeing us all taxed to the point where the middle class is indistinguishable from the poor, this couple sees nothing wrong with buying an island for around $20M for a birthday present.

How many people would that $20M feed Angelina?

The heart has a tumor there on the left ventricle.

Unless they trim the trees, they can call it "That 70s Island"...

There’s a University just east of where I am with a bunch of Franks buildings.

Kinda ugly

$19,700.00 US.

What the hell, you only live once and you can’t take it with you.

Wonder if they pay NY taxes on it though, bet that could get expensive.

This look-alike is for hire, by the way.

This island is in the middle of a small lake in Putnam County, just north of NY City.

So its not a tropical paradise, and when the lake is frozen for 3-4 months of the year, anyone could just walk out to it.

Very cool. Petra Island is in Lake Mahopec in an area that's really nice. I did some quick research...both houses on the island were designed by Wright, but only one was built by him.

Having an island retreat that isolated, not ocean property and so close to NYC is a good idea. They're surrounded by fresh water and have enough land to be self-sustainable.

If I were a zillionaire, it would've been my first purchase. <^..^>
