A Frank Lloyd Wright Riff in the Colorado Foothills

On the outskirts of Loveland, Colorado — near Devils Backbone, on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park — the Morning Drive residence is a faithful interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Jacobs II Solar-Hemicycle, designed by Taliesin Fellow David Eric Calvin. Three bedrooms, five baths, 4,136 square feet of curved walls, clerestory windows, a suspended fireplace, original stonework, and an indoor hot tub conservatory beneath a glass ceiling. Reddit called it a literal dream. One person noted they'd need to be dragged out to go grocery shopping. Another is having a hard time with the toadstool ottoman.

Compression, Release, and a Glass Ceiling Over the Hot Tub

Built into the hillside for passive solar gain, the home's entry uses Wright's signature compression-and-release sequence — a low, intimate approach giving way to soaring curved gathering spaces flooded with natural light from clerestory windows, circular skylights, and dramatic walls of glass. Original stonework flows seamlessly from interior to exterior. A suspended fireplace, spiral staircase, and curved cabinetry honor the Wrightian vision throughout. The current owners spent six years restoring the home — overhauling plumbing, electrical, and HVAC — while adding a reimagined chef's kitchen, a redesigned primary suite, and the indoor hot tub conservatory beneath a glass ceiling that Reddit immediately identified as the home's standout feature. A separate guest suite with private entrance, a koi pond, outdoor firepit, and pergola complete the offering. Wildlife and starlit skies — the Front Range foothills deliver both — come standard. The toadstool ottoman, whose size and shape defeats any possible purpose it might have had in that room per the thread, does not.

Wonderful House. Also, Rattlesnakes.

Reddit's enthusiasm for this listing was genuine and nearly unanimous — one commenter called it easily one of their favorites in weeks, citing the curvilinearity and color schemes specifically. The woodwork-and-mountain-views contingent declared immediate love. The Loveland locals were pleased it sits on the outskirts rather than deeper in town, and hard agreed. The blue tub generated its own brief thread. And then the rattlesnake disclosure arrived. The Devils Backbone area, per someone who hikes there regularly, is crawling with them — every visit produces either a sighting or an audible rattle. A counterpoint noted that Bobcat Ridge used to be called Rattlesnake Mountain and it's just part of going outside in Colorado, and that above 9,000 feet there shouldn't be any. This year, per another commenter, that threshold appears to have moved — a friend was bitten in their Fort Collins driveway, spent two days in hospital on six doses of anti-venom, and still can't walk right. They were lucky not to lose their foot. The final word on this: there are worse things. This is also true.
