Developer and architect John Portman's mind-bending Sea Island beach house could be yours for an equally eye-popping $40 million.
Why it matters: The sale marks the first time the Portman-designed estate has been publicly listed on the market.
Zoom in: Finished in 1986, Entelechy II blends the outdoor and indoor and features the innovative builder's personal art works and lush plantings.
- The recently renovated 13,000-square-foot home flaunts the neo-futurist design elements Portman used on landmark buildings in Downtown Atlanta and across the world.
- Yes, you bet there's a grand atrium. The main house has a total of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with an additional cottage for guests or staff.
Fun fact: Entelechy means the "realization of potential," according to Robb Report. Portman's Buckhead home was Entelechy I.
