Ben Rose Home
Reverse your own odometer in this architectural pop culture gem. The 5,300 sq ft glass-and-steel Ben Rose Home ($2,300,000), and more specifically the matching detached garage, is the site where Cameron gives an unexpected F-U to his dad in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid, and once owned by photographer Ben Rose, the house was built in 1953 and is located in Highland Park, Illinois. Vast ravines in rear, but 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California not included. [Thanks, Scott]
Fawcett House
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1961, the Fawcett Ranch House (a cool $2.7 million) near Los Banos, California, is a 3,800 sq. foot piece of history.

It's got six bedrooms, four and a half baths, two fireplaces (including a walk-in living room fireplace), a Japanese garden with Koi pond and waterfall, and unbelievable views from every angle. Here's your chance to live in an actual work of art. [Thanks, Chuck]
