If you’ve been anywhere near Reddit this week, you’ve probably seen the house — a modern Boulder home built directly into the hillside that looks like it’s hanging over the edge of town. Listed for $14 million, the property on Timber Lane has gone viral thanks to its dramatic design, glass-heavy exterior, and a pool that seems to float above the valley.

The comments range from “worth every penny” to “my anxiety could never.” Some people love the views, others can’t get past the price tag (especially since the house next door is listed for around $6.2M), and a few are mostly just concerned about gravity, wildlife, and winter storms.

Love it or hate it, one thing’s clear: this place has officially earned its spot in Boulder’s unofficial Internet Hall of Fame.
