First offering, welcome to this stunning Usonian-style home designed by architect James De Long. De Long, a Frank Lloyd Wright protege and Taliesin fellow, has created a timeless mid-century architectural retreat.

This iconic structure inspired his dream of training under Frank Lloyd Wright, whose groundbreaking designs and commitment to organic architecture profoundly influenced De Long. In July 1946, De Long's dedication paid off when he was accepted into Wright's Fellowship at Taliesin, where he fully embraced the principles and philosophies that would define his architectural legacy.Lovingly maintained by the same family for over 60 years The Melzer Residence sits in the serene rolling hills above the Redlands Country Club.
