Ashera – 8789 116th St SE, Clear Lake, MN
Welcome to Ashera, a remarkable architectural masterpiece designed by Tom Olson. Olson, an apprentice of the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin from 1950 to 1954, designed Ashera for himself and Merle Sykora, an esteemed art professor and accomplished weaver at St. Cloud State University. For decades, Tom and Merle worked together as architect and interior designer in the St. Cloud area. Tom also served as the lead apprentice on Wright’s Fasbender Clinic in Hastings, Minnesota.
Carved into a 2.18-acre wooded lot, Ashera is perched high on the river bluff, offering breathtaking views of the Mississippi River through the walls of windows on both levels. The home’s design seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape, creating a tranquil and private retreat.
The main level features a spacious living/dining area, kitchen, primary bedroom, and a sunroom that can be accessed from both the living room and the primary bedroom. A striking angled brick fireplace anchors the living room, while custom cedar woodwork—highlighted by the vaulted ceiling with intersecting cedar strips—adds warmth and FLW character to the space. The kitchen is designed with bamboo cabinetry, and an office is conveniently located off the kitchen.
The lower level features a spacious family room with a wood stove, which can also serve as a versatile gathering space. It includes a second bedroom and bath, and offers walkouts to both a cement patio from the family and a wraparound walkway from the bedroom, providing easy access to the outdoors.
The property also features a drive-through garage with secure storage and a small workshop area for projects. Adjacent to the garage is a guesthouse, which can serve as a private office or be rented out for additional income.
The meticulously designed grounds include a labyrinth for quiet reflection, as well as a ginkgo biloba tree grown from a seedling of the historic ginkgo at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home & Studio in Oak Park, Illinois, started by Tom & Merle.
Ashera offers an exceptional opportunity to experience a harmonious blend of architectural sophistication, natural beauty, and complete privacy, making it a truly unique home that embodies the timeless spirit of Wright-inspired design.
