Relocating a house - internationally?

A real estate agent who has been trying to sell a home designed by iconic American architect Frank Lloyd Wright for two years is considering an inquiry from clients who would move it from Southern California to Japan.

The La Miniatura in Pasadena is among two of Wright's experimental textile-block homes that have languished on the market, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In 2008 agent Crosby Doe listed the partially restored home at $US7.7 million (NZ$10.8 million), but recently dropped it to under $US5 million (NZ$7 million).

He says it is a longshot but he has been talking to an international art dealer with Japanese art-collector clients who might be interested in buying the house. He says the London Bridge was moved to the Colorado River, so it's possible Wright's house can be moved to Japan.
