A Coastal Masterpiece: John Portman’s Iconic Sea Island Residence Listed for $40 Million

Nestled along the enchanting coastline of Sea Island, Georgia, the personal beach residence of celebrated architect and developer John Portman has entered the market for the first time in its 31-year history. Listed at $40 million, this modernist icon, known as Entelechy II, epitomises architectural brilliance and coastal serenity.



With its seamless integration of form, function, and natural surroundings, the residence stands as a testament to Portman’s mastery of space, light, and materiality. Expansive glass façades erase boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting the Atlantic Ocean’s breathtaking views into every corner of the home.


Soaring volumes and fluid transitions between spaces create an environment of openness and grandeur. Each architectural detail, meticulously designed, forms part of a cohesive whole, elevating the property beyond mere habitation into a holistic living experience. The interplay of light and shadow across curated finishes enhances the meditative and inspiring atmosphere that defines coastal modernism at its finest.



The interiors of Entelechy II reflect a timeless yet progressive elegance, with materials thoughtfully chosen to echo the surrounding natural beauty. Every finish—from the textures to the tones—harmonises with the coastal landscape, ensuring a seamless blend between the built environment and its setting. This approach recalls Portman’s signature ability to create immersive, sensory experiences in architecture.


Set across two pristine acres, the estate offers seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms within the main residence. Complementing this is a private guest cottage featuring four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and 3,432 square feet of living space. The guest cottage, separate from the main home, provides a private retreat for visitors while maintaining the estate’s serene connection to its surroundings.



This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of architectural history on Sea Island. Represented by Chase Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes & Sotheby’s International Realty alongside Susan Imhoff and Ann Harrell of DeLoach Sotheby’s International Realty, Entelechy II is ready to captivate its next custodian with its unmatched blend of design, luxury, and location.
