ARMENIA: Amazing Property in Garni

We visit our sister's friend's property in Garni Village. It's truly amazing!
Vasgen bought the property 18 years ago and has spent all of that time renovating the home and terracing the land (on a cliff face)...creating a true masterpiece. It's not a rich person's home, it's rather a labour of love...a sculpture created from the natural lay of the land.

I laughed out loud when Mitch said " Ay kez ban" it was so well said. What a paradise of a home with those views and trees.

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Arman Ananian...yes, I think I've perfected that Armenian phrase😂

[@AvoFresno]

Vazken was an artist and will remain an artist, glad that he was able to build his dream home, Bravo Vazken Jan, and thank you, Mitch, for another beautiful video...

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Avedis Krikorian...indeed!👍🙏

[@judd442009]

Thanks for another visit to Armenia outside of Yerevan. The manual labor that went into the construction of the traditional Armenian home is impressive.

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@judd442009...yep, an enormous amount of manual labour...but I think it paid off👍🙏

Thankyou for this wonderful tour of such an incredibly beautiful home and location. I can really appreciate the amount of hard work that has gone into the build. Beautiful Hayastan

[@jasonpetersharpe]

Seeing at winter time would be interesting…

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Jason Peter Sharpe...and a bit treacherous going down all those stairs too!

[@hayots_lernashkharh]

I would love a house like this particularly in Lanjazat. I love how its near Azat Jrampar and the Yeranos Mountains

[@emiliaavagyan781]

beautiful, they should give their bedrooms as a guest house for tourists, do they?

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@emilia avagyan...they used to, but it became too much work for them. Now, the just enjoy the peace and tranquility themselves!🙏 Of course, they have the occasional friends stay over, but not for business anymore.

[@dianakenderian]

Wish my father was alive to go back to Armenia and see this! I would have gone with him! Thank you for posting this lovely video. I hope you and Mrs. are well. God bless!

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Diana Kenderian...thanks so much for your comment...sorry you lost your father btw. Mrs Mitch and I are well thanks...hope you and your family are also🙏

[@dianakenderian]

@@ArmenianLifewithMitch I am glad you are all good. Your stories remind me so much of my father! I am blessed to be able to view them on You Tube!! I don't have family anymore. I am in a wheelchair...I was born with Celebral palsy and my brother resides in Florida, 3000 miles away. I have Christ in my heart though. And now, I have your videos. God bless you! Love in HIM, Diana

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@@dianakenderian ...may the Lord give you strength to endure the suffering in your body, Diana jan.🙏 I used to look after a young woman with Cerebral Palsy, so I know how debilitating this disease is. However, she had faith in God like you and was an amazing example to many. You said so many nice words about our videos...we're unworthy of your praise, but thankful that they bring you some form of comfort and happiness. Most of all, we're thankful that you have Jesus in your heart.🙏 Lots of love from Mitch and Sonia🥰

Beautiful video of this property! Amazing views and I love the pool overlooking the mountains. Mitch, at 54 years old I decided to go back to college and finish my degree in communications. One of my assignments is to study the country of Armenia and come up with a public safety idea that could be introduced to a local government of a town or city such as Yerevan help improve life safety. My idea that came to mind would be installing highly visible cross walks with rapid blinking yellow LED lights installed in the roadway along the full path of the crosswalk as well as the street poles to alert the on-coming traffic that pedestrians are crossing and to use caution when approaching. I would appreciate any feedback you might give toward this idea. Your videos have been excellent for my studies!! Thank you for reading!

[@firegone2000]

Actually, any of you that are reading this comment that have good knowledge of Armenia are welcome to interject with thoughts and suggestions. Thanks so much.............

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@Dave Wilkin...sorry for the late reply! Your assignment sounds very interesting and I'd be happy to help with some feedback, time permitting. The best thing is for us to communicate via email, so you can write to me via my work email: [e-mail]

How far is Vasgen's home from the Garmi temple?

5 min car ride.

Greetings i inhertited a land of 1750 square meters which my father built a 120 sqm house in it its the first house viewing the mountain do you have any idea what this property would worth today i appreciate if you share with me thanks god bless

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@user-vs9ws4fp8m...can you please tell me where the home is located and what condition the home is in?

[@user-vs9ws4fp8m]

@ArmenianLifewithMitch hello it is located in garni and is the first house facing the mountain. I visited the house many years ago, and it's 1750sqm. I don't know the exact address my father built 7 years ago, a 120 sqm house on the property

[@user-vs9ws4fp8m]

@ArmenianLifewithMitch can you please tell me roughly how much it is per square meters over there?

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@@user-vs9ws4fp8m It doesn't really work like that over here. Per square meter price only applies to new builds, and even that can vary depending on region. So the best I can advise is to look at the local market on www.list.am/category/62?n=77&sid=360&price1=&price2=&crc=&_a5=0&_a3_1=&_a3_2=&_a34=0&_a4=0&_a37=0&_a78=0&_a76=0&_a38=0&_a80=0&_a82=0&_a81=0&_a35_1=&_a35_2= I've selected the parameters of Kotayk, Garni and house, so just check comparable house and land prices. However, don't be greedy, because a lot of current prices are hugely inflated and prices are coming down at last. Hope this helps.

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@@user-vs9ws4fp8m Please send me an email, perhaps I can find out more information for you. I'll put my email here until you confirm you've seen it, then I'll remove it: [e-mail]

[@songs2803]

are you still there?

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

@songs2803...in Armenia yes!

[@songs2803]

Ive been to Armenia and kind of agree with a lotof what you said in your next video, that I watched to. on why Diaspora not coming to Armenia. so 1st of all, like to thank you for the quick reply

[@songs2803]

BTW, I really liked Armenia when I was there in 2021, and as you mentioned I loved they still have strong family values and morals, because these are important to me . Also, I agree about the greedy people in rental, because I faced that myself when I was there. Now , One of the most things I agree with you, which was kind of a reason I was in Armenia is to help, which is another thing you mentioned in your video, that people need to come and help. Actually , when I watched your 2nd video, you mentioned so many things I agree and thought of too

[@songs2803]

And actually, it is one of my kind of dreams is to be able to help, but this is another thing I might need to keep in touch with you to hopefully do something and how to do, or not.

[@songs2803]

so, hopefully we can keep in touch, tomay be we can do something for the people there and may be not, but hope we can. Thanks
