Touring a Billionaire's $80,000,000 Hidden Colorado Ranch
[Music] The Ranch at Al Creek is an exclusive Mountainside Oasis with 60 Acres of landscaped Beauty Exquisite architectural design and most importantly extreme privacy intelligently designed by Hansen construction with views of all four ski mountains this Ranch comes with a workout Pavilion movie theater heated pool and even a stocked trout fishing pond now as far as stats on the house it has eight bedrooms 11 bathrooms just over 12,500 ft of interior living space House was built in 2005 and we're going to break down what makes this house so special aside from the fact that it cost $80 million and you more oress have to be a billionaire to purchase this place so making our way into the main entryway of this home we got this huge metal pivot door here leading into your formal entryway and your foyer we'll keep this shut cuz it's a little cold today I love that too there's a very uh banese style theme here in this house which you'll see as we go throughout this is your cat closet right as you walk in feel like showing that because it feels really nice to open two big sturdy doors talking about some of the materials we have a lot of stone Venetian plaster on the ceilings the walls lots of metal and also lots of cool unique architectural details like if you look up here there's a hole in the ceiling where we have a skylight letting light into through the back and the front here and all the Windows another thing you'll notice is all the amazing art throughout the house and I actually haven't met the owner yet so I don't know the names of the individual artists as we go throughout the space so if you know any of the artists who have created these paintings or the sculptures comment down below but with that said the whole house is a work of art in the architecture and you're going to see that in a moment as we enter into this great room welcome to the great room where we have 20t high ceilings in here with Walnut on the ceilings on the floors and the first thing you notice is the whole Southern Wall is glass which is directs your eye to the mountain range you've got a 10-ft pane of glass on a swivel as your front door where we have snow melt on the pavers here so you never have to shovel snow ever and just get a look at this and more importantly just listen to this it is so silent here you get a view of your 60 Acres of land you got the mountain range off in the distance here you can even see elk running through the property this part of the Aspen area is specifically known for ranches this is Al Creek it's like a private residential area so if you notice just the pure land here which you'll see later in some of the other properties We Tour in Aspen the the lots are much smaller and here you just have all this expansive nature we've then got another lower level patio here with a fire pit some benches and this you You' got your expanse of all 60 acres of land the entire Mountain rage here we even have a nice little pond in front of the property with the creek flowing down to the pond the beauty of this property is you have a true Panorama going all the way from Aspen Mountain buttermilk and snow Mass which are three of the best mountains in all of America and I want to point out now from this perspective here we can actually get a proper look at the architecture of the house where you see all that stone the metal and the glass and also how the house is only one floor and that's done to utilize the views here so every single room in this house has a view of the mountain range and another reason that's done is so that you can walk out into nature from any single room when you have 60 acres of land there isn't really a line between indoor and outdoor space it's kind of blurred right and the biggest theme about this house is the serenity in nature really utilizing the Aspens the land and the materials here and creating a piece of architecture that is truly special for this area [Music] if you'll notice even right by the front door there's two chairs here with a set of binoculars literally when you walk in the house you have a lounge chair so you can just I'm I'm going to do it I'm going to sit here and I'm going to look so you can sit put your feet up and get a view of the mountain see how busy it is see what the conditions are like wow like I don't even want to get up it's so nice I don't want to get up but there's more house to see yet I love this shag carpet you've got a day bed right here on the far side we have a table for five a nice little Nook here you could have your coffee the view is one thing but you really can't have an aspen Lodge without a proper wood burning fireplace I have to say when I see these uh these luxury listings out here in Aspen when they don't have wood burning fireplaces it's just like it's a missed opportunity so I'm actually going to get this thing lit so we can actually come back and show you what this place this looks like at night again going back to the art beautiful piece above the fireplace sitting area right here and if we look back up look at this light fixture on the ceiling it has that same metal that surrounds the windows and a lot of the doorframe Accents in the house with almost like a soft box effect on these three different lights in the center of the room here with almost like a soft box effect on these three different lights in the center of the room here I can't really convey the sheer volume of this space it's absolutely beautiful then we've got our Steinway and Sun's piano here in the corner and then in the far back a little bit more of a formal sitting area here and I also want to point out how low the furniture is which is done to utilize and really drive home how large the mountains are in that front view there very specific choices that really make you feel something in this house so out of the great room we've got this metal door frame again like I mentioned with a 12T door frame here which leads in to your gallery here where you have all the art collection displayed off and if you look up above me this has created a softbox effect with frosted glass so if you remember from the entrance way I said look up and you can see the Skylight it's diffused with this frosted glass to give a very calming feeling here in this Gallery just look at all these pieces of art again if you're looking at any of these paintings and you know the artist comment down below because the artwork in here is pretty stunning the beauty of the gallery as well is it actually is a connecting room or more so like an Atrium so you have two doors on that side two on this side we're going to continue on off of your gallery welcome to the den Library where the focal point here is this gas fireplace and this beautiful American flag piece of art this is this is incredible I love that if you look up in here again we have 20t high ceilings in the library beautiful views of the mountain range we have the TV built in here with your custom bookshelf there continuing the theme from the gr room all the furniture is rather low to utilize the views of the mountain I love this copper coffee table here in the front the agent told me that this room was technically The State Room so we have pocket doors to close it off for privacy because typically when you have these high net worth individuals you know when they have a house like this this is probably their second or third home believe it or not even at $80 million and when they're here they're here with their whole family their friends so there are those moments when they want to close off from the rest of the family come in here and really talk business politics I mean we're not going to get into that right now but talk things that are more so private and this is the room that can be totally sectioned off with those pocket doors which then again over here you can see utiliz covering the bookshelves going up with all that custom mill work this is the main guest room which serves as its own second Suite of the house so this is technically like another house within a house just check out this room I want to drive home the proportions the proportion of this home are rather old world they're huge they are massive and this guest Suite is no exception to the rest of the house with those views you have two huge panes of glass making this corner moment here giving you views of the mountain range and off into the Aspens in the corner here KingSize bed front and center then it has an on Suite bathroom connected by the closet to the bathroom which has a very minimal design dual vanity here and the thing is it's minimal but it's not cold it's very welcoming huge soaking tub so making your way back out out just take another look at that view there immersed in nature in any room you go in with the Aspens the snow this might be my favorite room it's just so presidential so Regal here so now for reference we're back into the art gallery which serves as the Hub of the home and we're going to go now into the kitchen area but first I want to show you this powder room so all the doors in the house have those 12T High door frames so for reference look how big that door is the door in my house is maybe like that high probably your house as well but this is a 12ft door which leads into one of the coolest pow rooms on Earth with a solid chunk of granite as a trough sink here cut right out of the earth like I just want to pick this thing up it's so it it really grounds you to the feeling that you are out here in the Colorado Rockies the back mirror runs the entire length of this wall I mean this is I could just spend all day in here in the powder my might in a second actually more beautiful art we have Audrey Hein on the wall here with a youth tribe member behind Blake there again more youth tribe members here with this art if you know the artist comment down below because the art in this house is just beautiful through these two massive double doors we now enter the more informal part of the house the fun part of the house this is the family room area SL Chef's Kitchen check out the kitchen first and one of the best things about the design in this home is that even in some something like an island you have the entire ethos of the house with the stone the metal and the wood and speaking of the Granite look how long this countertop runs this is just two pieces of graned for this entire countertop that runs at least like 20 ft you can tell that they actually cook in this kitchen because look at the pad below here you can tell that the chef is standing here for a long time let's just pop open the refrigerator I bet it's full yeah someone's living in here they're eating well and you can just see the beautiful kitchen here I also want to mention the cabinets another theme throughout the house is that frosted glass which we have here on these floating cabinets which run the entire length all the way up to the ceiling so you would need a step ladder to access those here there's still more in the kitchen yet a lot of times people want to see the pantry so check this out I can guarantee you you've never seen a pantry like this keeping with the theme of the barns SL pocket door look at this Pantry like come on now you got 12T ceilings in your pantry industrial refrigerator freezer here that is stocked full I mean let's just look it's like we're at the 7-Eleven right now any drink you want right there and there's a secret in this pantry you ready for this we've got a hidden door down below which leads to uh no we we can't let them see that that no not a chance I am just kidding that's a crawl space there's actually nothing down there at all but how crazy is that I also love how they use this wall of appliances to divide the kitchen space from the family room area we've got a gas fireplace here off of your gas fireplace you have this nice little sitting area here with this corner glass and of course this opens up because at the start of the video I mentioned one of the biggest themes of this house is blurring the lines of nature with the indoor outdoor living here so both these walls fully open up and even during the winter we've got heaters over top so you can come on outside and enjoy the outdoors just as much as the indoors with this oversized outdoor fireplace like look how big this fireplace is it's massive the proportions in the house that's something I can't drive home enough it's a huge house outdoor kitchen here and then just the serenity of the land like look at the snow and the Aspens and the blue skies this is that Serenity that I was talking about where this place is just it's a compound and it's in nature even hearing the sounds of the snow melting it's a sensory overload out here it's beautiful but we still have so much more house to see so let's head on back inside I will shut these you can just keep it rolling I guess I think sometimes the more raw the better so I'd like to take a moment to thank the sponsor of this week week's episode better help now this brand integration is going to be a little different than most so when you watch these home tours you're seeing maybe like 10% of who I actually am as a person you're seeing such a narrow sliver or like the tip of the iceberg as they say of who I am and the things that make me me and it's interesting because I recently did did a play here in New York City it was my stage acting debut and it was interesting because afterwards my cousin Lisa came up to me and cousin Lisa is extremely honest in the best way possible so Lisa says to me that's the first time in my entire life where I feel I actually got to know who you are she then went on to say that she does not watch my YouTube videos these videos because she knows what she's seeing is not me it's it's a host it's a very small part of who I am and it hit me so hard to hear her say that and I'll be totally honest I have to attribute my uh how do I even say this I wouldn't have been able to do the play if I wasn't in therapy for the past 2 years because therapy is holding a mirror up to you you are looking it deeply at who you are in every aspect if you're lucky if you find a therapist who you can share everything with and you can grow and you can get a better understanding of your own emotions and what makes you you and What Makes You tick what makes you angry happy sad all these emotions it's even interesting editing this video I could tell that I was in an off mood when I filmed this Colorado Mansion Tour which is crazy because it does translate through the camera and with that better help is bringing therapy to the masses it's all done online or over the phone it's discreet it's affordable they even have this uh it's like a questionnaire you fill out so you really can identify what you want to work on what you're looking to achieve from therapy it has an algorithm that matches you with potential therapists and again therapy I I said this before it's a lot like dating you're going to go through a few therapists before you find that one person who you feel comfortable enough to share the Deep Emotions that you want to work through they're offering 10% off when you sign up with code Eric it's linked down below here in the description with that better help thank you for sponsoring this week's episode and let's head back and check out the rest of that $80 million Colorado Ranch so continuing on the tour back into your family room again you've got this 20ft High seal throughout the majority of this house it's just the pure scale again another powder room here off to my right this room is absolutely nothing this is a storage room huge storage room though and now we are in the mud room a staple in an aspen house is the mud room which we have a bunch of our gear here right now but you can get a good feel of it and I do want to show you the garage look how beautiful this garage is you have your workstation here wor all your industrial storage for your cabinets the FJ Cruiser fully decked out with survival gear on the top you are not getting stuck on any pass in that thing your ski rack and then of course motorcycles and your snow blowers we're going to make a sharp right up this staircase really quick because there is an in-law suite here and I do I think it's worth showing off and even a detail as small as the Venetian plaster if you look at the edging of the plaster to the stair risers even in something like the in-law suite they don't cut any Corners I flew in from New York this morning and it gets me every time the first like 4 hours I get to Colorado I go up one staircase and I'm a pretty fit guy deep breaths welcome to the in-law suite again same materials as the rest of the house here this is a mini version of that kitchen we saw all the stainless steel the frosted glass the Walnut on the Cabinetry and this is pretty sick here you actually see the beam of the house going with that industrial feeling so you have again like the metal the wood and the stone so off of your kitchen here we have your living room bathroom off to my left then we have two guest bedrooms here which both have outdoor space every single bedroom has that outdoor space in the house even your your guest tucked way away here in the in-law suite it's a great space onone again the beams I love how you can see the actual beams of the house at the bottom of the staircase back through your mud room and that connecting hallway which leads to your family room we're going to make our way actually back to the kitchen to connect with the rest of the house so that's where the art gallery is we have the kitchen I love this kitchen it's so functional and then off the kitchen for practicality again behind two massive double doors we have your formal dining space here with seating for 10 a gas burning fireplace at the far end here and a prime view of your property with your art pieces on the land and just look at the Aspens for a frame of reference your art gallery is off to my right at the far end another enormous pocket door which leads into your Lounge so it's like a proper Lounge here you could have a party it's almost set up like a club where you have the little table here for your drinks then you have your wet bar not one but two wet bars here and a fully stocked bar and again you can go outside from this Lounge here but off of the great room now we're going to head to the living quarters down this long hallway which has custom mill work with Douglas fur where you have hidden hidden do so these are all hidden rooms as we head down the hallway which we're going to show you in a second but before that this is the owner's wing of the house check this out this entire Wing is dedicated to whoever buys this house and just look at the light flooding into this space here and with that sunlight you've got the views and your two chairs propped right up to get that Prime View binocular is ready for you I can't help myself got another pivot glass door which opens up to your very own private little patio here where you can just breathe in that mountain and air and admire your land I want to also mention that a big reason that drives up the price of this property is the fact that your land is pretty flat now typically in Aspen you don't have that that's not the case but here you have all the Flats on this nice little Bluff with these open expansive views of everything around you here if you did live here you probably wouldn't be watching too much TV and the owners have taken that into consideration hiding away the TV into this beautiful display right here automated pops right up at night another one of those real estate terms is spa-like bathroom I feel like that term is just devalued totally now from real estate agents but this is a SP SP like bathroom totally separate from the sleeping quarters look at this I'm just going to walk all the way to the good stuff this is a spa-like bathroom I mean this is basically a swimming pool in your bathroom like look how big that soaking tub is we even have a couch in the bathroom dual vanity with a walk-in travertine shower keeping with the Barnyard door sliding theme if you want privacy or if you want a little showof like the rest of the House Grand proportions even in the shower and really blending indoor living with the outdoor living this isn't just an indoor Spa check this out so this is the main outdoor Courtyard which we haven't toured yet that's the pool which is open year round heated with this substantial then metal gate which closes off the public space to the private space if you really wanted you could put a lock on this but now the entire owner's Wing is sectioned off from the public space you go that way I'm going to go this way wait till you see this following these heated pavers up this little Hill your spa now goes out doors where you have a built-in hot tub overlooking all of your land the mountain range in the distance like this this really is indor Outdoor Living that's another phrase that agents overuse in a abew but like come on now year round into our out living like it gets pretty cold in Aspen and we haven't seen the rest of the bathroom wait until you see this look at this closet it's what you would expect actually before the closet you have two vanities out there but you also have a private water closet with a automatic Toto toilet with automatic everything sprayer warmer cooler all that so you can really section yourself off in here and then then across from the bathroom I'll let you go first look at this walk-in closet this is like double the size of my first apartment in New York City it has 12T High ceilings in this part and then 18t High ceilings the sun just Blinded Me 18t High ceilings in this part so even the closet is thoughtfully done and then again the closet even has a huge window frame to look at the land so whatever room you're in you're going to get that peace and the serenity from nature I'm thinking to myself like I have clothing enough to to fill like one section here crazy it's the next level but making our way back through your owner's bedroom again just look at the light flooding into the space I'm now going to show you a few of the guest bedrooms which is hidden with the Douglas fur paneling so here is just one of the guest bedrooms your whole wall is your view how stunning is that and like all the rooms it opens up so you can actually go indoor outdoor live in the space they all have onsuite bathrooms just a quick little look into this one you've got blue Subway tiling making me feel like I'm back home in New York there's also a lot of little details that I haven't mentioned like all the floors are radiate heating so every bathroom is heated floors which is typically only in the owner's bathroom then this is a fun room where you have another pane of glass where you can actually view into this room this is the kids room/ the game room arcade air hockey table little kitchen built in here and then this opens up to the whole backyard which we're going to tour in a bit and a cool feature in this room look at this Skylight beautiful metal skylight with frosted glass there just letting in that nice soft light here into this room the Symmetry in this home is incredible how the pool is perfectly symmetrical in this main pane of glass here and then again that Skylight lets enlight to this hallway through this large pan of glass here so this hallway isn't cavernous and you really feel that light even in this hallway where they were using the Douglas fur paneling for that effect of the hidden doors which we have another one right here another guest bedroom little larger than the last one spectacular views all them have onsweet bathrooms actually I want to point this out here really quick per expectations this is a fully automated smart home so everything is controlled from an iPad in every single room and that's pretty typical at this price point to have the entire house smart and automated for reference we're back to the main great room with that beautiful Ved ceiling and the walnut wood on the ceiling but downstairs I did say it was only one floor I was kidding there is a downstairs so heading way down now with welcome to your home theater which is a fully soundproof state-of-the-art top-of-the-line projector which drops out from your Venetian plaster ceilings where you can come down watch your favorite YouTube video your favorite movie you could have a screening down here the comfiest couches in the world and uh speaking of stainless steel this could be your Panic Room it could be your little safe or could be your wine storage where we have room for at least 1,000 bottles here this is temperature humidity controlled as you would expect when I first saw this you imagine like ah help let me out this is crazy though the whole house just feels very sturdy sturdy is the word I'm going to use for it and then you can even look here at all the sound paneling and then if you want to move in here Blake I'll even show this again pockets in here so this all shuts off for when you are showing your movie or your show your favorite YouTube channel whatever you want far end of the theater you have another pocket door to fully just have this place be like an actual theater lock out the outside world if you would say and then down here as well you have your laundry room four washer and dryers and a TV down here just to really make it enjoyable but now I'm going to head back upstairs and I will meet you in the back Courtyard to show you a few structures on the property so just for a frame of reference this is that outdoor fireplace from the start of the video here and there's actually a few structures on the property like I mentioned it's more or less a compound so let's follow this pathway here and kind of Dodge the melting snow which again all the pavers are snow melt which is pretty awesome you never have to shovel this so now we're going to get a little view at the garage area where you have a three-car garage here you even have your EV hookup so if you have a Tesla any EV you can charge right at home and I just love even now you can really see the architecture with the use of the wood and that metal giving it that sturdy feeling and off of your garage this is the guest house so aside from your in-law suite above the garage you have an entirely separate guest house here so if you're fighting with your wife or your husband or whatnot you have a little house on your property to escape to and just kind of get away from the the main house here if you would say where again you just have the same finishes the sunlight coming in and the views and a nons sweet bathroom and shower then across from the guest house we'll head back down these pavers here and just get a real feel for the property because with this price point of $80 million the land I mean the house you've seen the house the house is insanely impressive but the land is really what does it for me I mean look at this Aspen Forest we're walking through right here sound of the snow melting actually let's talk about the art again the art is wild here and again I I wish I knew the name of the sculptures but look at this this is mean something some more Modern Art here and this in the summertime I believe we do have some shots we can put in to show this in the summer but the pool is almost in the center of this Oasis of these Aspens here this is a fully heated pool yeah another jacuzzi another fire pit another Grill let's make our way through the snow bank here and this is your Fitness Pavilion with more badass American flag art M look at that thing for the summer months you actually have a screen outside the glass to keep the bugs out around to the side door check out this gym you've got 20ft ceilings in your gym Venetian plaster even in your gym if you look up transom Windows to let in sunlight the entire year around and just look at the equipment alone everything in here is pretty much ball Flex you got a TV on a stand so you can move around watch your favorite workout instructor you've got your assault bike your pelaton and this is clutch having a kitchen in your gym so you can get done a killer workout have a smoothie you could even cook right in here even a ski urg keeping fit for the slopes even in the off seon stationary bike then you've got your board form concrete here which leads into the bathroom which is attached to the gym so you don't have to leave your gym you would never have to go to gym with other people and that's the thing when you're living at this price point at this level as you've seen this is essentially a compound this has every single thing you could need to have the best Mountain experience in the Aspen area got to put the sunglasses on there's a nice reflection on the snow we're going to trudge up on the property and this is the kind of place where you could have horses you would have a fleet of ATVs snowmobiles so there's a little staircase which is going to take us up to something I haven't seen this yet so I'm like telling you where I'm taking you but I have yet to see it you can see we're making the path right now blazing the trail this is the creek that runs to the lake in the front of the property not sure if that's Al Creek but it's a creek it's at the top of this little Hill the property [Music] has its own Lake look how picturesque this is a proper Sunset over your Lake your 60 acres of land here in Aspen Colorado I want you to comment down below what was your favorite part of this house what was the feature that really hit you as something that was just so unique that you haven't seen before I want to thank the listing agent for letting us film this property more information about the house is down below in the description I hope you're well watching this and with that I will see you in the next episode
