While people love a grand old house, American architects and designers continue a tradition of innovative homebuilding today. At just under $1 million, this country retreat designed by Chicago architect Larry Booth shows what modern builders can do. Constructed in 1993, but with a complete interior redesign in 2012, this 1-bedroom contemporary has two guest houses and can comfortably sleep eight. Just steps away from southwest Michigan's Galien River, the home features stunning outdoor living spaces including a stone dining area, swimming pool and spa with views of the estate's 57 acres of untouched Michigan prairie.
