Mid-Century Modern Glass House on a 3,000-Acre Ranch | House Tour



The Wyle House, a masterpiece conceived by architect John Rex in 1961, stands as an architectural marvel. Reflecting the hues and textures of the vast 3,000-acre ranch that cradles it, the house retains its original furniture, meticulously crafted by the renowned woodworker Sam Maloof, exclusively for this residence.

Originally acquired in 1959, the land, then a third of its current size, laid the foundation for a thriving farm initiated by Stephen’s father. The introduction to architect John Rex came through a family friend, who, upon learning of the family’s desire to build a home in such a remote location, found the idea intriguingly audacious. Constructed primarily from wood, glass, and on-site dynamited granite, the house emerged a few hundred yards from where the stone was sourced. Stephen fondly recounts his summers spent dynamiting stone and contributing to the foundation work with his family. The memories etched in his childhood are woven with adventures at the ranch – camping, horseback riding, and cherished family moments in the home.

The Modernist design of the house, tinged with a Japanese-esque influence possibly from one of John Rex’s draftsmen, features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and a distinctive umbrella-shaped roof. While granite elements abound, the conversation pit partnered with a fireplace stands out as the home’s focal point.

Today, this architectural gem invites visitors through Airbnb, offering an experience that falls nothing short of breathtaking. From the architectural brilliance and period furniture to the meticulously landscaped surroundings, the Wyle House provides a retreat that transports you away from it all, enveloped in the tranquility of the 3,000-acre ranch and its endless panoramic views.

    It has this awesome mix of Japanese and mid-century that brings out this rustic element common to both styles. The living room looks very much like a modern, 21st century take on midcentury with its scale, the amount of glass and volumes that you rarely find in authentic 1960s architecture. The owner is deservingly proud of where he lives.

    This is a beautiful designed house. However, the score in the production is kinda eerie.

    As a man with property and in my mid 40s with a big family, I hope that my family, future grandkids will all be able to share and enjoy. I felt the man’s hesitancy on what some of the shareholders will do to the property. So many people sell out for short gains.

    Чудесный дом. Шикарные виды из окон. Прошло больше 60 лет, а здание не утеряло привлекательности и актуальности.

    Definitely one of the best house that I've ever seen here in YouTube!! Definitely tastefully in a lot of corners man what a charming house!!

  23. @darien33

    Tiene algo de excéntrica y es a la vez cálida y original. Gracias por compartir la belleza de esta propiedad y lugar.

  25. @Aubnormal

    Such an amazing property and blending of styles. Are those early Sam Maloof pieces (Dining table, benches, pedestal table and chairs)?

  26. @CasaAnKanMiami

    The original furniture by Sam Maloof and the rich family history adds a layer of charm to this architectural gem 🧡

    What a sense of PLACE! It exudes harmony from the beautiful way the structure is exposed and how the building sits so perfectly in the landscape. One can almost hear all the past conversations in the "conversation pit"

    какой смысл показывать интерерьер при одинаковой картинке на 70% времени…

    This home gave me a warm feeling. I loved everything about the interior and I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s perfect.

    This was a poignant video, thank you.
    I appreciate the clear lines of the house & how it dovetails with Mother Nature & not in grandiose opposition.

    Most of all: I appreciated how this gentleman spoke of his parents and family friends, how the house came into itself & his hopes for his family — now, and in the future. We need more of this grace.

    Stunning home, and I love the lack of pretense explaining how the property came to be

  46. @opencurtin

    Magical , all the natural colours , the light the stone and timber , Id love to head there for the experience .

    I was fortunate to work for Wyle in the late 90's. No exaggeration when I say it was the best company I had the opportunity to work for. What a treat to see where Mr Wyle spent his time away from the hustle & bustle. ❤
