Paul Weideman The Pottery House, a genuine Frank Lloyd Wright house in Santa Fe, is on the market.

The home, in the Vista Cañada Ancha subdivision off Hyde Park Road, was completed in the mid-1980s from a design Wright did in 1928.

The issue of what are and what are not "genuine Wrights" hinges on whether the construction of such homes from the architect's unbuilt portfolio was supervised by people from his organization, Taliesin Architects.

The Pottery House in Santa Fe, a spheroid design, was the only adobe house Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed. He started the design for El Paso newspaperman Lloyd Burlingham in 1942, but was not able to finish the project before he died in 1959. Developer Charles Klotsche saw the unfinished plans at Wright’s Taliesin Architects and had them update the design and increase the original 2,400 square foot plan to 4,900 square feet.

He commissioned former Wright apprentice, Charles Montooth, to finalize the plans, keeping many of Wright’s original details, and to oversee construction. The home was completed in 1985 with the addition of a swimming pool and an underground two-car garage. Mr. Wright would likely have found the innovation of underground parking a plus with cars today costing more than many of his homes.

The home is located on nine acres on a rise in the land - though Wright would have said it rose "with" the land - with 360-degree views of the Santa Fe desert and its walls blending into the landscape. The spheroid shape was inspired by Native American pottery. Walls curve to envelope a central walled courtyard. The pool is located at the east wing with an arched bridge over it, but an unusual mark of current design places a spa facility under the pool. The spa is complete with large hot tub, sauna-steam, and houses a private library.

The interior has five bedrooms, four baths, hardwood ceilings and barrel-shaped fireplaces, as well as a large great room, a sitting room and kitchen. A strong organic feeling pervades the property, emphasizing man’s connection with nature as was frequently evident in Wright’s designs.
