(gentle music) (fire crackling) - Hey everyone, welcome to Colorado. Today we're exploring
an amazing mountain home that is located in the gated
community of Mountain Star. This exceptional property
makes extensive use of stone, steel, and glass to create these amazing vaulted spaces that interact with the outdoors and allow you to be immersed in the natural landscape around you. I can't wait to show you
this amazing property, so let's begin. (gentle upbeat music) All right, everyone, let's start our tour. This is the covered entry
that brings you down from the motor court. Beautiful front door, and
here we are at the foyer. I love these glass walls
and this glass roof design that brings so much natural
light to the landing, French doors opening
up to another staircase that takes you down to the patio, which we're gonna check out later. Flagstone on the floors, love these recessed-in floor lights that lights up this
beautiful stone texture that's on the wall. Again, glass roof above,
scenery is amazing, a lot to take in on this landing. Now, we're gonna see a lot of taxidermy throughout the property. This is a mounted buffalo and I'm not really familiar
with these kind of accessories. I feel like, Mikey, you probably know a little bit more than I do. - [Mikey] In Texas,
taxidermy is pretty popular. I feel like it's-
- Mikey's from Texas. - [Mikey] Yeah, I feel
like it's more common in kind of these rustic,
more country settings. But it's part of that mountain
home aesthetic, you know? - Correct. And before we leave here, I
wanna mention another detail. This door opens up to another staircase that takes you to the mudroom, and the mudroom is located
right behind the two-car garage, which we can see from the motor court. Now coming this way, again,
with all these glass walls, you can see our surroundings so clearly. It's so interactive. Everywhere you look, you can see nature, you can see these trees,
snow, it's pretty fascinating. - [Mikey] Yeah, I can't
praise mountain homes and snowy climates enough, but I'm really excited to
see this place at night. As I look out, some of these
trees have lights on them, so I know it's just gonna
give a totally different vibe to this house as the sun goes down. - Well, we'll see you that later. - Yeah.
- All right. Now that's it for the entry and the foyer, then we have these glass doors opening up to another staircase that takes us to this incredible space. On my left-hand side, we have the formal living room
and the formal dining area, high ceilings that are vaulted, massive windows bring in natural
light facing these views, comfortable seating area on this side, rustic hardwood floors. It's a really unique take
on a modern mountain home. And again, the volume
here is just incredible. Then they ran the stone
all the way to the ceiling, and the textures and color
palette, then this fireplace, all of it coming together, it's very cozy, but it feels very contemporary as well. And this is the seating area. A few couches, Eames chairs. This fireplace, and I wanna
talk about two details here. Number one, never seen this before. I guess glass partition
wall for your fireplace. Even though it's a gas fireplace, if you want some protection,
you can just roll the glass. - That's very cool.
- Right? - Usually they have those kind of chain fireplace covers, you know.
- Yeah, I prefer this. - Yeah.
- And you still get to see it, but you have some protection. Number two, these exposed steel headers that we're gonna see
throughout the property. What a beautiful architectural detail. Not only it contrasts nicely
against these stone walls, but at the same time, seeing the structure and
the bones of your home on the interior just gives
you this powerful, solid feel. It's a safe home, and you just
feel comfortable being here. Now, let's go to the other side. Formal dining room, square table, which is not something we see quite often. Let's see, three, three, six, eight. I guess 10 to 12 people can
sit here very comfortably. - Yeah.
- If you maximize that corner, and we can have a couple people here, and chandelier above, high ceilings. And even though the space is very volumous between the plaster walls
and wood-glass ceilings and all the textures coming together, room feels very, very cozy. Now, before we leave here, I also wanna mention off of the landing, we have a powder bathroom
for the common areas here. And before we go to the kitchen, I actually wanna take everybody outside. Let's check out this beautiful patio. I mean, look at this. Scenery here is breathtaking. Trees, mountains on the
back, views of Beaver Creek, all this snow. It's gorgeous. - [Mikey] Yeah, I love this. I said I wasn't gonna talk about it again, so I'm not going to, but I like it a lot. - Something about these mountain homes, like the environment
just pulls you outside. I feel like even though we live in LA and LA has amazing weather, if I lived in a setting like this, I would use outdoors more and I know that sounds kind of twisted, but I just wanna just go
outside and like touch snow and interact with nature. - [Mikey] Yeah, yeah,
well that must be why you're not wearing your suit today, right? - Okay, so I actually
brought a suit today, but then I was walking
around and I was like, no, like this is the outfit, this is how I would walk around, so I was like, I ditched the suit. I hope I look fine. - [Mikey] I'm sure it's a
little more comfortable though. - It is definitely way more comfortable and I just felt like it
was more appropriate. But yeah, this is one of the
patios that we're gonna see throughout the tour and Mikey, can we pull everybody this way? This is the staircase that
we mentioned off the foyer that brings you to this patio. Now, before we continue, I wanna talk about the specs of this home. We have seven bedrooms, 10 baths, 8,327 square feet, on the
market for $13,250,000. And of course, I wanna give big
thanks to the listing agent, Tye Stockton, for making this so possible. More information about this property will be in the description of this video. And as always, we're
stoked to be in Colorado and we are thrilled to be
touring another mountain home. - [Mikey] Always stoked to be in Colorado. - All right, let's continue. Now, this is the rest of the patio. We have a built-in barbecue
area here, rain chain. We talk about these all the time. It's a nice touch. And now, let's go back in because we need to tour the kitchen. Modern cabinetry, island in
the center with bar seating, darker tones with the cabinets. Then we have these lighter
tone natural stone countertops. You have some of the base
cabinets here, espresso maker, commercial wine fridge, and your commercial Sub-Zero
fridge with a glass front. I dig these. I don't know what it is. It immediately gives
you this elevated look. - [Mikey] I was gonna say the same thing. Something about just glass refrigerators. I think it's because it makes
it feel really commercial 'cause you see these in
nice kitchens all the time. - I mean it's Sub-Zero,
it's a great brand. But yeah, looks really nice. Mikey, can you actually come this way? - [Mikey] Yeah. - I never wanna overlook
details like this. Dishwasher drawer. - Oh.
- It's paneled. I like, I would've looked over
it, then I saw the buttons. I was like, there's
something else behind this. - [Mikey] Yeah, is there any like benefit to dishwasher drawers or is it just they're just a little more compact? - 100%, they're smaller. You can run a half load rather
than running a full load. - You don't have to bend over
as much either, you know? - That's the part I really like because I don't have the best back, so this is way easier to fill up. You have your small sink
here, main sink on this side. Look at this picture window. Look at these views. Look how you're integrated into nature. And I feel like we're
just a little bit happier touring mountain homes
or like touring homes that are in snowy environments. - [Mikey] Yeah, it's just
a little more relaxed, a little more laid back. Takes us a day or two to
adjust to the altitude. - I'm a little bit out of breath. This property is somewhat elevated and it's just like we haven't
been getting the best sleep because we've been traveling a
lot, but enthusiasm is there. I'm stoked. I wanna talk about all the details. In fact, I forgot one. Butcher block is recessed
into the countertop. Never seen this before. - [Mikey] Yeah, I like that. - They've inserted it in. - [Mikey] What kind of
countertops are these? - I think they're granite. - [Mikey] They're granite. - I think they're granite. Now let's talk about the gas stove, or should I say stoves because
we have a 30-inch gas stove here and then a 48-inch
here, so in total 78 inches. This is one of the biggest
gas stove assemblies we've ever seen. Like we've seen Lahore News, I think the one in Cannes, France. - [Mikey] That's the
one I thought of, yeah. - Had an insane design
with the chef's kitchen and the main kitchen, but
considering the size of the home, this is quite impressive. - [Mikey] Agreed. - Now, above the gas stoves,
we have commercial vents. I like how they hang their pots here. And let's talk about this
stone for a second also. This reminds me of my hometown. In my hometown in Turkey, they use this kind of natural
stone that is locally sourced and it just gives you this timeless look. And I love how they brought this stone to the interior as well. It's just so cozy with the textures and details and it's a nice touch. - [Mikey] I wouldn't expect this stone to remind of your hometown. I always kind of pictured
it like a Greek island or something like that. - Well, we have those like plaster, white stucco homes as well, but my hometown has more
of this like stone look and it just looks timeless. It's just beautiful. And I think that's it for the kitchen. - Yeah.
- Now let's go this way. Let's take the staircase here
that comes to the landing, and off of the landing we
have this door opening up to the primary bedroom suite. Off of the entry, we have a small desk, windows bring in natural light. This is like a little office. And following the hallway, we
have the bedroom at the end, but first, let's check out the bathroom, freestanding tub on my left-hand side, tub filler, right next to that
is a spacious walk-in shower, water closet, vanity here with two sinks, light box design above, and
because the ceiling is curved, they actually kept the walls short so it can benefit from the
natural light coming in from the walls right behind you, Mikey. So it's nice area. You have the walking closet at the end, just a really nice bathroom. And going back to the hallway again, we have the bedroom itself,
spacious, hardwood floors, king size bed, so much
natural light coming in. And I gotta say, I'm really
digging these plaster walls. It reminds me of the property that we toured in Malibu recently. Not to mention that primary
bedroom in that house also had a curved ceiling too. - [Mikey] Yeah, that's
right, that's right. - And it just gives you this warm feel. And because these are plaster
walls, they're not perfect, so they just have a lot of character. And looking around, cold
lighting detail right there. Two ceiling now light
fixtures framing the bed. Again, so many windows, casement sections on
the bottom, corner TV. Have a telescope here. - [Mikey] That's a very
like stylish telescope. Like you wouldn't, I don't
know if you'd be looking at any stars with that. - It's part of the decoration. - [Mikey] Exactly, yeah. - And yeah, this is the
primary bedroom suite. It gets better, follow me. Let's go to this covered patio section. It's a nice addition
to the primary bedroom. You can see some of the exposed
steel columns and beams. Unbelievable views. I almost feel like nature is
hugging this house, you know? I almost wanna say I prefer it. I prefer that there are
some trees in front of us, but I mean these go for miles, you know? It's pretty special. - [Mikey] Yeah, you made
a joke when we got here. You're like LA developers would clear out these trees immediately. - Yeah, exactly.
- To keep the views, you know. - If this home was in LA, they would come in and
just rip all these trees. - Yeah.
- But versus here, they kept them and it looks really nice and speaking of the trees
and the surroundings, this is a gated community. They have about 90 home sites. Currently 45 homes are built. We were told that some of the homeowners bought more than one lot, so some of these homes
have little bit more land. So I'm assuming by the
time it's all completed, it's all done, they'll
probably have 60 to 70 homes, which is really nice, it's a nice ratio. I mean, you can barely
see the neighbor there, but it's amazing, it's peaceful. Again, all right, I'll stop talking. Enough with the surroundings, you know. Let's go back in, back to the bedroom because I wanna take everybody
to the staircase landing. It's such a cool area. I mean, where do I begin with the details? Look at this glass roof. Then you have glass walls, stone textures, lighting. And here's something you
also don't know, Mikey. So the section that we just
toured was the original home. It's all updated and all that. The section that we are about
to tour is the new edition that was completed a few years ago. - [Mikey] Really? - I know it looks very seamless and you would never
assumed that this section is only a few years old. - [Mikey] Yeah. - That's why they ended up
coming up with this glass atrium section to kind of bridge two structures, but at the same time create
this really cool moment. And I gotta say, I think this is my
favorite part of the home. - [Mikey] So I guess the kind
of glass atrium at the entry, they probably added that to
kind of tie the whole design together when they did the add-on? - That I don't know, but
possible, very possible. And look at the extensive
use of steel here with the staircase, threads,
walls, exposed columns. And it reminds me
Hollywood in some aspects. Remember the property in Hollywood Hills? You have these like exposed columns too. - [Mikey] We talk about
that episode a lot. - Yeah, it's probably my
favorite home in LA, easily. - [Mikey] Very cool. - And just the amount of
natural light that comes in, even the landing downstairs, so cool. Then they have these
recessed-in floor lights to light up the textures on the walls. Scenery, just beautiful. All right, follow me this way. I gotta say for the price point, it's gotta be one of the best homes. That's why we chose this
property to tour here in Colorado because we just felt
like it's a great deal and you guys would enjoy it. - [Mikey] Yeah. - Follow me this way. Full bathroom, flagstone on the floors, open walk-in shower, and
again this stone textures, this is such a cool
shower, rain head above, window bringing natural
light, pretty cool. Cool bathroom.
- For sure, yeah. - And then I have to point this out. Look at this art piece here. It's like all these figures
and there's like a big bottle. - Pint.
- Pint of beer. - [Mikey] I've noticed a very
like subtle Bavarian theme throughout this house in the decor. - Is that what it is too? - [Mikey] Yeah, I mean I'm
no expert on cultural decor, but like I would say there's a- - You've told us, Mikey. - [Mikey] I would say there's
a strong Bavarian theme running through the house. - I guess we'll see
that in the next space. And then you have your floating
vanity here, vessel sink, LED-lit mirror, really nice bathroom. Now, let's go back to the landing. Right on the other side we
have this amazing lounge. Now I know I said that the walkway, the glass atrium is my
favorite part of this house, but as a room to use and enjoy
and spend a lot of time in, this is probably my favorite part. - [Mikey] Yeah, you can't
sit down in the atrium and read a book.
- Yeah, this is cool. You just pass by.
- Exactly. - It has a shed roof design. Now, I don't want that
to sound negative at all, but these single sloped
roofs are called shed roofs and the volume here,
natural light coming in and walls of glass, it's just
chef's kiss, it's beautiful. Look at our surroundings. This is one thing about this
property that I really like, how we have all these trees
around us and it's like, it's just a different view corridor. It's just a different experience and they left the room very open. You have a nice informal dining area here. Mikey, I'm assuming this is moose. - [Mikey] That's a moose. You nailed that one. - Pretty interesting.
- Yeah, these things, I've seen a moose in the wild one time. They are intimidatingly large. This is only slightly taller
than they actually are. Seeing these things-
- Are you serious? - [Mikey] Yeah, it's probably
like if that was mounted a foot and a half, maybe two feet lower, like that's about how
big it is, it's insane. - Wow, that's crazy.
- Yeah. - And look at the back wall, by the way. So this is an interesting application. You know like those barn homes that we see where they use logs to
build exterior walls, it's the same technique,
but they plank the surface. They left some of the imperfections, so there's ton of character. Then they fill the gap in
between each one of the logs to give you this cohesive look. It's more on the modern side. I feel like if they left the
surface or just the log itself, it would've looked a
little bit more rustic, but versus this application
matches the house better. Now obviously ceilings are all wood clad. Then we have the main seating
area here, L-shaped couch, two chairs facing the TV on that side. This is kind of a interesting take. They didn't mount the TV
on top of the fireplace, so you can come here, sit
down on this side, watch TV, or you can just relax here. - [Mikey] I'm sure the TV pivots as well. - I'm sure. - [Mikey] It has to be on an arm, yeah. - Correct. Then we have this beautiful fireplace. Again, exposed steel header. So cozy, so beautiful.
- Yeah, I love this. - And if all of this wasn't enough, then on the other side
you have a rustic bar. Look at the island here, the cabinetry, these metal accents and these bar stools. You go to the other side, you
have a built-in shelf here. Then this is your bar. Glass shelves, LED lighting,
sink in the center, built-in fridge, ice maker. It's just a nice addition to the seating and the dining area. - [Mikey] Yeah, and then
we have these German kind of beer mugs behind the bar as well. They have a name, I can't remember what it's
called right now, but- - Looks really nice. - [Mikey] I just talked
about that in the bathroom, so I have to follow through. - You had to mention that.
- Yeah. - All right, now we're not done
with this part of the home. Let's open up these sliding
glass doors so we can check out this amazing patio. Seamless transition. These sliding glass doors actually stack, they have the same flagstone also here. Glass lead-in, multiple
outdoor seating areas, more of the scenery and more
of views, just beautiful. And also look, like Mikey, we
are like 15 minutes from Vail? - [Mikey] Yeah, we're very
close to Vail, Beaver Creek. There's just this whole just community of ski towns around here. Some of the best skiing in the country between Vail and Beaver
Creek and Breckenridge and Aspen's around the corner, so it's just an awesome location. (gentle music) - You can't pick the wrong mountain town. I think if you're drawn to the mountains, we offer skiing and mountain
biking and golfing and fishing and music and that really
long list of activities, but I think you try to
find one that really speaks to sort of your culture, a way of life, and for me, Vail was it. I love the idea of being centrally located and you can base out of
any of these communities, but there's so many that are close by and we're less than two hours from Aspen, less than two hours from Steamboat. Breckenridge is 45 minutes. It's a place to slow down
and explore at the same time. - And with that, we're done on this floor. Now let's check out the lower level. Look at this staircase
landing, hardwood floors, stone walls, recessed-in floor lighting, bridge that's above us,
and taking these steps, we come to another landing point. Now, this hallway takes
you to three bedrooms and the laundry room. That door right there
opens up to the patio, which we're gonna go next,
but first we gotta come here. Powder bathroom on my left-hand side, bar on my right-hand side
because we have this door here opening up to the movie theater. Rick Diner chairs, padded
walls, built-in speakers. Screen is on this side. It's not the biggest movie theater, but I think it's perfect
size for this home. Next we're gonna check out the patio. (gentle beat music) We have a hot tub here,
which is nice to have, considering the fact that
this is a mountain home. You can just get in, relax,
go outside, jump into snow, get yourself a little
cold therapy, you know, hot or cold therapy. - [Mikey] Have you ever been in a hot tub when it's snowing outside? - No. - [Mikey] It's a fantastic experience. I can't really explain it
beyond that, but it's great. - I'm sure, and yeah,
this is your backyard. This is unbelievable. Then patio continues. Fire pit here, outdoor seating. These three glass sections
are three different bedrooms that we're gonna check out in a minute. And I love, even with these glass windows, they left the steel headers exposed. Do you know what those steel headers do? - [Mikey] I'm guessing they
hold up the floor above it. - Correct. So there is a column here
and there's a column here, and because it's a big opening, you need a very strong material
to hold the floor above. - [Mikey] Yeah. - A lot of traditional
homes have wood studs. They're strong, but if you really wanna go for that bulletproof strength, you just use steel and
it looks cool like this. - [Mikey] Makes sense. - All right, let's check
out the three bedrooms. - [Mikey] Let's do it. - So we have the first bedroom here, comes with a king size
bed, hardwood floors. Also has its own full bathroom. Then following the hallway,
bedroom number two. This one has two single
beds, super spacious. Of course comes with another
full bathroom as well. And going towards the end of the hallway, laundry room with a sink. And the last door opens up
to the third bedroom suite, full size bed, hardwood
floors, same plaster walls. And this was the window assembly
that I was talking about. In fact, you can see the
fire pit off of the patio, spacious, and around the corner, we have a full bathroom here. Tile floors, tile walls,
mosaic walk-in shower, brushed nickel fixtures,
and this really unique sink. Now, I promise this is the last jump, but I want to take everybody
back to the staircase so we can continue our
tour on the other side. Hardwood floors. This wing has three bedroom suites. This is the first one off of the entry, Mikey, let's go check it out. Full bathroom. I like these beige tones. Pebble stone in the walk-in shower, brushed nickel fixtures. I just realized, look at the ceilings. - [Mikey] I was wondering if
you were gonna point that out. I noticed this. - It's super cool. You have your floating
vanity here, vessel sink. And there's actually a picture window to benefit from the natural
light coming into this bedroom. King size bed. You have two niches for some
pictures with LED lighting, massive windows, more views. Good vibe. - [Mikey] Yeah, very nice. - All right, let's go check
out the second bedroom now, which is right next door. Pretty much the same layout. Comes with a king size bed,
also has a full bathroom. So yeah, this is the second
bedroom on this wing. Now, the last bedroom is here, and I love this bedroom because we have so many bunk beds here. This is like my wild dream as a kid. You have four queen beds here,
two singles on this side. And between the millwork,
the ambiance here, lighting, so cool, so quaint. - [Mikey] Yeah, I love this. I always love queen bunks. You're gonna have to
give us a demonstration. - You want me to go up there? - [Mikey] Yeah, you gotta go up there. - Yeah, okay, I'll go up there, but we gotta talk about this detail. Look how they utilize the space. These are all drawers. - [Mikey] These kinds of things are really popular on Instagram. Like I see these going viral all the time these like space-saving room designs. - Mikey's low key teasing
me to do a Instagram video so we can share it. - [Mikey] Maybe we'll share it. Go check out Enes' Instagram, you know. - There you go, what a way to plug it. I'm going up there and let's see. All right. Okay. Oh. - Looks nice.
- This is so comfortable. - [Mikey] That looks good. - All right, by the way, there's also a full
bathroom around the corner with a massive sink. I wanted to mention that. Kids are living good in
this house, you know, what can I say? And with that, I think
that's it for our tour, but of course, we need to
see this place at dusk. (ethereal music) All right, everyone,
that's it for the tour. Hope you'll enjoy this video. Big thanks to the listing
agent, Tye Stockton, for making this tour possible. And as always, you can
find more information about this property in the
description of this video. Now, if you enjoyed our Colorado episode, make sure to give us a like, subscribe, and we'll see you guys next week. (ethereal music)
