Modernist architecture is often about marrying cold, clean lines with the warmth and chaos of nature - both which are abundant at a North San Antonio home recently listed for sale.

Going for $3. 2 million, this modernist mansion built in 2003 is full of "strong architectural lines and generous proportions," as its listing states.

But outside, the nearly one-acre property abuts the greenbelt and is shaded by its own private forest of mature trees, balancing its stark, cold design with an unbridled wildness.
