Inside an Iconic Home Built on a 200 ft Cliff!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Hey everybody! Really appreciate all of the kind words in the comments, we are so glad that everybody is enjoying the video. I wanted to address the most common question that is coming up in the comments, and that is how Glendon got utilities up to the house. Glendon sent the following note to share with you guys: "Installing services was a major challenge. After the crash course in mountaineering, I did most of this work myself bolting pipes and conduits every 10 feet along a fissure in the cliff. The property has a 360 foot deep well at the bottom of the cliff. Water is pumped up 560 feet to a 2,500 gallon storage tank located at house level. Sewage flows down-hill through a 3-inch DWV pipe to a septic system. High voltage and low voltage electrical as well as propane run through PVC conduits attached to structs embedded in a crack in the rock."

It's incredible he could do this for the amount he paid, but that's only because he put so much sweat equity into the project. That house would sell for Millions now.

All the Hollywood/Malibu/LA homes do not beat this house! EXCELLENT video and thank you Glendon for allowing all of us on KZbin to see it.

[@SHO1989]

Exactly what I came here to say. I'd way rather have this than any of those. But then, I'm an introvert and like my solitude. This place is my dream home.

[@demolitionmann777]

I’m from LA and adore Beverly/Hollywood Hills and Malibu homes but this right here takes the cake

[@DreaMeRHoLic]

I'm watching this video 1 week after the LA fires started and they're still going... the fact that Malibu and "The Hills" burned down about 1 week after you wrote that comment gave it a little twist.

[@andreasroth990]

The houses of many millionaires and billionaires bore me because they don't radiate warmth and have no soul. It often seems to me as if these houses are only built to show off one's own wealth. But this house is completely different. Finally someone with taste, a vision and a lot of creativity. Respect!

[@llamacebu216]

They never lived there. It's a epstein house

[@stephankyle6460]

Totally agree. Such good taste.

I live nearby and have seen this many times, and I often wondered about it. It's really cool to hear Glendon's story. I have mad respect for this guy!

[@thegzak]

For $1.7M this beats pretty much every other house out there. To call it a “house” honestly feels like an understatement - this is a work of art that happens to also be a home. Amazing!

[@janderson2556]

Right? For that price in Sedona you get cookie cutter crap...

[@respecteverybodynohate9637]

This youtuber deserves more recognition this house is soo beautiful and the fact this man went out his way to meet the owner huge props

Brings new meaning to "Living on the edge". I was surprised at the price thought it would be a lot more. This is a unique home ...not for everyone but certainly for him.

[@pattymillz7580]

Got married here in Sedona 2 months ago and have been a few times before. Came upon this house driving around the beautiful city and seeing this beautiful home you would think it’s a billion dollar home. Beautiful it’s always a nice drive in that area

[@travisweigand9982]

Blown away. Love houses with stories like this. The owner had an uncompromising vision, and he did everything necessary to make that vision a reality.

[@SoFloDamien]

My god…I love this dude. He really makes alot sense to me. What journey Glendon has been on and able to share the experience with all of us. I would’ve guessed that someone who builds a home in such an extreme manner would not like to be bothered by camera guy and host asking alot of questions. Congrats to all involved. Spectacular home. I would get into falconry from up there.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

@@SoFloDamien he showed us a nest up there… I believe a red tailed hawk nest.

[@Mari-tr2yr]

Went to Sedona in November. We drove to this house to see it from the bottom. We wondered what the rest looked like so thank you for this! It is an amazing accomplishment of a home!

[@803mastiff9]

$1,7 million for everything is a shockingly low build cost,

[@angelaj8958]

Especially for the billion dollar view!

[@SF7PAKISTAN]

Well it was 20 some years ago

[@willcookmakeup]

Ummmm yeah what? I was thinking it would be at least 20

[@skotski]

I really don't believe it cost only $1.7m. Aside from the material cost though, who has 10+ years not working for someone else to pursue their own dream project? Definitely a cool house, but only a possibility for someone who's fallen into a LOT of money. Good for this guy for having both the means and the vision in the same lifetime.

[@willcookmakeup]

@skotski I agree the cost sounds way too low. I mean just in labor and permitting costs you're looking at well over $700k. And then materials and hooking up to power to this location, and then just given how high quality and the finishes of them home, I would expect that to be at least a million. Just on its own. But it was also constructed over many many years and he did a large majority of the metal work himself. And after that many years I'm sure he formed many close relationships with builders which made costs lower. But even with all of that, for this to be under a 3 or 5 million dollar build at cost is wild to me. Property value, very different story. Now that it's build and established, I'm sure if he put it on the market it would go for at minimum 15 mil

[@InSearchOfLight117]

The wife and I took an RV trip to Sedona in November and drove by this house. I stopped the truck in a few places to take some pics and showed friends & family once we got home. This video randomly popped up in my feed today. Pretty cool! Fascinating house!

[@lindsayalbert722]

Artistry, vision, skill and commitment to a dream...Bravo! It's an incredible space and achievement.

[@dragonschthe2409]

Only $1.7 million! Imagine everyone else who spent $2 million or more on a regular boring house. This dude had a dream and mad it reality. I tip my hat to you Sir.

[@twistingterrain7748]

As a local to Sedona this video answered so many questions and corrected a lot of rumors. It’s incredible to see this house when I’m in his area for work. I wish the host would have asked Glendon what the locals said about the project. They’re not typically friendly to these sort of developments

[@Real.Estate.Report]

@@twistingterrain7748 Thanks for sharing your comment! We did talk about this topic a bit, off camera. He shared that initially the neighboring homeowners were not thrilled during construction, but most of them warmed up to the house once it was completed

[@SedonaMTB]

I live in Sedona since 1997. I watched the house being built. It was very noisy for the whole valley for years. The valley, Red Rock Loop road is a very quiet place 22:54 . I am sure that the neighbors were relieved when it was finished.

[@Waveluth]

What a wonderful job he did on this one of a kind treasure. I built a 3600sq ft. Solar home with 35’ rafters etc. I was all alone working all day at my job and then right over to the house to keep working. I dug the foundation hole with a pick and shovel and built the forms myself. I took apart the forms when I was done and used that lumber on the house. 7 days a week every single night till 2:00 am then off to work for my day job. It was all worth it and I’m proud I was able to build a home for my family. I’ve sinced sold the home and moved to a tiny home for retirement and now I guess I wait for the end. Btw, getting old sucks!!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This Gentleman is the real ironman... wow

[@AquavidaPools-t3g]

When a guy knows he’s right, despite his family and closest friends not believing he could do it, does that thing. It’s a lonely victory.

[@joegreenbbka]

Not really. That's the best kind of victory, being able to throw it in the faces of naysayers. The man that built this house lives by his own rules too, I doubt he considered it a lonely victory but I suppose anything is possible.

[@PegasusGT-z1z]

Humans are such simpletons. To have this kind of victory just to throw it in the faces of naysayers. It's the naysayers that give rise to people performing extraordinary feats. In the end it's all vanity though. A sane mind is the only thing that matters. Living for naysayers is exhausting. None are FREE when they live this way. There's a reason mental health is in decline all around the world. Humans are vain creatures. All the greatness of man's accomplishments is but a blink of an eye in time. Anyone else resonate with this perspective and see this build as just another build? Nothing more, nothing less.
