I had to laugh when you mentioned being out of breath. I live at a high elevation and guests who live down in the valleys of5en take a day or so to adjust! Edit: if you're going to keep showing these beautiful winter getaways, you should invest in decent snow gear, boots at least. 😊 ( Its May 5th and we justvhad a good 8- 10 inches of snow last night....in California! Lol
I put my self through engineering college working on this ranch every summer from 1978 to 1983. I knew this land like the back of my hand. Its incredible to see what the development has become. We had names for for all of the different pastures and fields on the ranch. I believe we called this the " Wide field". The lake or trout pond was not there ( must be man made), but there were a series of beaver ponds and dams nearby. We mostly grew high quality horse hay on the ranch and boarded up to 50 horses during the summer. The entire Owl creek valley was purchased back in the early 70's from two old time ranchers/homesteaders (Sam Stapleton & Jens Christianson) by a Texas Oil tycoon (Davis?). He had hoped to build a 5th Aspen ski area called Burnt Mountain including all of the extensive base area development. He unsuccessfully fought the county and a number of environmental groups for years for development approval. Ultimately it was carved up into these 60-80 acre parcels, with much of the 1100 acres left in its natural state. The ranch house I lived and worked in has long since been demolished and scraped from the earth.
I can't get over how despite the obvious expanse and luxury of the house, the interior design somehow manages to convey an unpretentious and relaxed personal style. So much unique art. So much vintage, mismatched furniture (and area rugs). Really feels like a lived in, well loved space. amazing.
I've watched your videos for years and I've been seeing other tours of these million dollar houses. I have never until now really realized the gap in lifestyle between the kind of people who live in places like this and the rest of us. That fully stocked grocery thing is so different than how we operate. These guys probably never have to worry about expiry dates, having to choose between brands, restocking when you're running low on something, etc. they probably have a person for that ! I feel great being able to afford anything I want at the grocery store after years of studying and getting promotions, but this is on a whole another level.
It feels cold outside the mansion, but it feels warm inside! The scenery outside the mansion is so beautiful, thank you very much for sharing, well done! 👍🥰🙏
For 80 mil dollars living in the middle of no where , you would want a garage that can hold atleast 5 full size SUVS, massive workstation, a few snowmobiles, and a 2 or 3 fully kitted out 4x4 snow monsters , not only 1 single FJ cruiser
Although yes, one must be a billionaire to purchase a home of this exquisite caliber, videos like this give us an opportunity to get design ideas that we can incorporate into our own homes (fixtures, color palettes, furnishings, etc.). In this way, we too get to celebrate our homes and community. Thank you, Erik!
You are too perfect at this. I guess you don't know how much of value you add to every video you post in here. You make us enter into a new world altogether. May God bless you with the same spirit always🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@brentsyoutube I speak honestly. I get a better perspective of things when some people present it. This has nothing to do personally. We should also learn how to compliment others work. It's just being human. It's as simple as that for me. Hope people learn to take it right.
You've been killing it the last few tours ! really enjoying the locations and the upped production value. I also really appreciate the frequency in with you've been uploading as well.
I love the design of the house. It integrates into the surroundings so well without looking like an upscale lodge. The textures, the colors, the art, the furniture, it's all so thoughtful, tasteful and unique, and it all works with the acreage it sits on
Property price: $80,000,000 Down payment: 20% of $80,000,000 = $16,000,000 Loan amount: $80,000,000 - $16,000,000 = $64,000,000 Interest rate: 6.90% Loan term: 30 years Monthly mortgage payment: approximately $426,183.19 Therefore, to comfortably afford the property, your yearly income would need to be approximately $17,047,327.56
Lol, and people that own property like this make that kind of money every month. Just to put it in perspective. It's a tax write off most of the time. They live on a different planet then the rest of us. 😂
If you are looking to buy this then you are most likely paying cash and if you are paying cash that means that you have more than you could ever want or need. I'd be interested in the monthly cost for upkeep on something like this. It would probably make normal folk cry like a baby.
Just a quick reminder of how beautifully made these videos are Erik. The edit and flow is so spot on and your knowledge of the interiors and articulate descriptions and narrations of each moment are excellent. It's so easy to assume this is just how it is but the effort and skill in these is phenomenal. Thanks mate.
Pitkin county is one of the most serene places I’ve been in my life. I understood the property valuations when you see it in person. It be might just as beautiful in the warmer months than the winter months, too. Even muddier months like April are magical. Truly a privilege to call areas of CO like that home. One of my life’s goals to have a primary home there some day. It would be hard to get me to ever leave.
You get 60 acres of ranch land smack dab in the middle of some of the best skiing in the US, complete with a creek and a lake, several outbuildings, and a fully furnished and decorated 15k sq ft main house with custom EVERYTHING and 360 degree views of the surrounding mountain ranges. This house shits on 99% of the cookie cutter modern luxury homes that you see on these home tour channels - it’s probably the most functional and warm living spaces I’ve seen at this price point. Typically I see a lot of cold and imposing spaces that look more like a museum than a livable home.
My flat here in the UK could holiday in that closet 😂. Stunning landscape and property. I would have to move lots of family in lol. You did an excellent job showing us around.
My favorite part about this house is that every room, and I mean every room. Is so big that there is a echo when ever you're talking, even in the toilets.
When I watch videos of mansions, most of them are so close to other homes, I could never understand spending millions to live like that. This, on the other hand, I can understand. If I had that much money, I would want to be have privacy over being in a city.
It's quite the serene sanctuary, free from the chaotic crowds of urban life. I find immense pleasure in conducting my work from such a peaceful setting. Incorporating a helipad or private airstrip would undoubtedly elevate its allure
The only thing worthwhile is the scenery. It all looks so sterile, not a warm fuzzy homey feeling. Very unremarkable except that they are filthy rich. I live in a small RV with a room attached and I can honestly say, I love it. And I'm NOT jealous of money for all incoming nasty remarks that my say I am. I have lived in large spaces before and now in the country, I live on 80 acres. I chose this place on purpose.
Now this is a very, very well designed home and landscape. So well designed and thoroughly thought out - with thee best views and location. I think I know who owns/owned it. Excellent video, Eric. I hope their property manager, helped you shut and lock all the doors and turn off the lights! Great ski house for a large family of winter sports enthusiasts! 😊
It might be fun to tour weird homes too. For example, there is a man in southern Colorado who spent years building his own castle in protest of the IRS.
Awesome place! Reminded me of my grand parents house,not so big or the land around it but more it being big without being cavernous. especially the kitchen area and surrounding rooms,I can image several families with kids running around there.
How do you not get lost in a place like this? I'd get lost. You should watch Not Enough Nelson's house tour (it's actually a mansion). They have 16 kids, 4 are moved out though. But they have a home theater too. I live in a studio. I got rid of my TV (I couldn't get a signal, (I faced the freeway). But I love my computer. I stream different services. During the situation, my computer saved my life. They thought of literally everything. FAVORITE: the in-home theater.
This is my Grandfather's house. He got lucky in life and business. He was not nice to people with his business practices. He did what he wanted, no matter who he left in his wake. All cap.
9:46 to 9:53 that picture of Audrey Hepburn reminds me of where my mother says she got my name from her favorite movie growing up was breakfast at Tiffany’s and she said if she had another girl. She would name her Tiffany and that’s why I got my name from so every time I see a portrait of her or painting, it just sends chills up my spine with joy RIP MOMMY 🙏🏿
@@big_goofymac6340 actually i thought most of the billions are known to the world, i am very surprised knowing many are actually private. This is insane any idea what do these Bs do ?
" I look at this granite basin and I just want to pick it up. It really makes you feel grounded to aspen" me: Yeah ok, I was thinking the same exact thing
If i had the money to afford a house like this, I WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUILDING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. how much does a person need? I can see building a nice big home. 3 to 4 thousand Square feet would still be too large. Id rathet have a very, very, nice comfortable, affordable home that would be easy to maintain. Id use my to buy up property instead if building a show-off home
The whole place feels like a hotel that someone else took over and tried to make into a house. The only real personality in the whole place is the central art gallery.
it's not just the house, you're getting 60 acres, though how do you keep people from squatting, I'm assuming if someone builds a shed on your land the cops will evict or prevent the shed from being built, but there are lots of hiding places, and these days with squatter friendly laws good luck. Maybe as an investment you can sell it later for more but seems like there aren't a whole lot of customers who can buy this unless you divide it up and sell off parcels maybe as a developer built out single family home plots of .5 to 1 acre each and make a city.
I'm guessing if you are a billionaire you will probably know someone who knows someone who can help you "take care of your squatter problem, discreetly" if ya know what I mean, LOL! 😆
Hi 👋 everyone, I’m Jeff, the proud owner of this estate. I bought it because I go to Colorado for about a day in a half a year and needed a place to sleep for a single night. I decided to sell it to save money and would rather pay $100 a night at a motel 6 than let this estate go to waste. Hope you enjoy my estate that I stay at for only one night out of a year.
I think that I may start living here as well, it suits all my needs and hopefully it's large enough for me to stay hidden from the owners! Aspen here I come! YEE HAW!!!!!
Hi Jeff ! Wondering if you could back the play ? It'll rival the recent greats ie. Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, with the right backing and by right I mean left. Quelle dialogue ! Thank you in advance. Your friend, Bob.
