INSIDE a Billionaire's $80,000,000 Hidden Mountainside COMPOUND

[@erikvanconover]

it's the land for me

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

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

[@johndinsmoor8586]

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.

[@semmicolon]

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.

[@rando.none.ya.]

it can change on a dime unfortunately. I witnessed a crime at work and lost everything. Now I have to worry about making a pound of butter stretch

[@theempire00]

Definitely overvalued. Should be $30M max

[@thebeerhunter98]

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.

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.

IMO this house is soulless. It reminds me of a design studio for home fixtures, doors, and kitchens. I’d tear it down and build something beautiful to look at that was made from the surrounding area and not an IKEA Store.

[@lucycat4305]

100%. It feels cold and uninspired.

[@LaurynJuhl]

I agree. The entry area and the great room especially felt really uncomfortable to me. The entry was cold and industrial-feeling. The great room was incohesive with all of the separate small rugs chopping it into mismatched sections. The owner does have a phenomenal art collection. It’s too bad the furnishings didn’t live up to that level of taste.

[@clintdiaz5604]

In my humble opinion, there is no way that this property is worth $80 million. It would not cost more than $2 million to build the house, so the majority of the value is in the acreage. I researched property values in the area and discovered similar acreage, without a house, for $12 million. So that comes out about $14 million. I have no idea why the owner is asking $80 million. The properties that Erik films videos on, are inflated significantly compared to market value. I think the sellers allow him to do a video because he allows them to set an extremely above market price.

[@cory_hugs7850]

100% this place is nice but even if I had a billion dollars I wouldn’t pay more than 12m for it. I’d demolish it and build a 30m$ cabin! Not impressed and your jaw should drop for 80 million dollars!

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.
