I have been designing homes for over 3 decades and as a part of the building industry for that long, I am still amazed at the incredible workmanship that still exists and that there are still builders of this quality, creating monuments to architecture. Thank you to the builder and the architect!
Thanks for your kind words. The back story of how this was built is impressive. 14 years in the making and the work it took to build the foundation on top of a mountain without a road was crazy. The builder is a genius.
@@TedBainbridge is there more footage of this home while it was being built on TH-cam? This really is unlike any other home I've ever seen in this world. With its design layout to just how many very large stones there are, topped off by a massive timber frame ceiling, this is the most monolithic home ever built aside from a castle. Just fantastic p.s. do I even wanna know what a house like this must cost with 8 years of carving out a mountain replaced with a structure of equal amount of rock quarried off site & imported😂💪👌
I talk to some people who say "no one should own a house that big"... As if it's their business to begin with. I don't look at this with envy, though. This inspires me! It's a work of freaking ART! ❤️ What an outstanding job. I appreciate that you shared this.
@@243wayne1what’s ridiculous is your dumb ass keeps going to work and coming back to that shit life then you get online and talk shit because you’re miserable 😂
This home is the place of my dreams, just staggering! It would not look out of place in England, it reminds me of a medieval village! I’m lost for words, it’s beautiful
This is by far the most incredible house I've ever seen. I feel like there was so much more to this house we didn't get to see for instance the archway over the gate when you pull in & what appeared to be a lower level that seamlessly blended with the landscape as if it was a slab carved out of a hill with a house on top. These 2 did an amazing job reviewing it but like I said, I feel like this was worthy of at least an hour. I have never seen a home with the sheer amount of stone,with many being large boulders. That stairway into the office legit looks like you're going through a mine. All that combined with those massive white oak timbers in the ceiling really is just fantastic & unlike anything I've ever seen. The layout with the way the roof on the back side extends over and beyond the outdoor decking area stood up by 2 massive timber columns that look as if too extend down off a cliff. When people talk as if there aren't still men on this earth who are craftsmen that can build structures like they used to centuries ago, this house will stand through history to prove them wrong. 👌💪There is so much more I'm blown away by but I would really love for an extended cut of this house with every square inch garage,basements,etc, as I feel this home is unlike any other in this world & deserves the recognition for the sheer amount of muscle & precision from the masters of the craft that built it. It's stunning
I've watched a lot of videos about stone and timber homes but this one stands head and shoulders above all of them. Incredible design and impeccable workmanship. Absolutely stunning.
@@evilsimeon Actually, quite the opposite. The video doesn't even come close to capturing the magnitude and impeccable workmanship of this masterpiece.
Breathtaking home. I would have liked to see more of it. I love how the builder is humble, gracious, and respectful and appreciative of the other collaborators on the project.
90% of these luxury home tours i watch and think if i had nearly unlimited funds for a house this is NOT what i would build. on this one i was honestly shocked that it was better than anything i could have dreamed up. absolutely spectacular.
@@NorthIce22 Don't hate on them... for all you know this video could have been created by a democrat... and we all know the Good Lord didn't bless them with a fully functional brain~
This Game of Thrones home alone is worth a million subscriptions. I loved how you called out the owners of the contractors. That shows true working relationships that spans decades and generations. If you had powerball money you still couldn’t duplicate the home in the woods. It looks like it’s been there for a thousand years with that stone roof too. Impeccable dream home. Wish we had a deeper dive into it.
This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it's awesome. Love how the external portion of the house matches the rock in the area so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. The craftsmanship and thought that went into this house is crazy.
Good God. This house is a piece of staggeringly beautiful art. An architectural and craftsmanship masterpiece. Bravo to all involved and to the owner, I commend your magnificent taste Sir. Your money was well spent and you are patron an iconic build. You should invite Enes to make a 2 hour documentary tour of your home for posterity.
Hall of the Mountain King's! The only thing missing are dwarves hammering on anvils! Loved the stone bath, the flaming torches in the gateway. Could have done with a much longer tour.
I don't have enough for this but what I have I'd give just to serve this home. What a masterpiece. Just silently do what has to be done to keep this place pristine and running. US has so much natural beauty and also people who can get most of it. Just amazing
It is such a breath of fresh air seeing something that is built to last in today’s world. This home is absolutely gorgeous, by far the coolest houses I’ve ever seen!
Absolutely everyone involved in that project should be very proud of themselves. What an awesome GC he is! Not only does he have the capability to manage that job but he has been in business long enough to know every true craftsman in their trade. When constructing something like this, you have no clue how valuable that is until you have a build with fly by night Subs. This is an incredibly well executed piece of art that people will just happen to live in. Looking at the construction, though, I think that people will be able to live there for generations to come! Bravo Zulu❣️❣️❣️
My son in-law worked on this project and told me about it but until I saw this video I had no idea of how grand it really was. I’ve worked on places in Iron Horse, Elk Highlands and Whitefish Hills and nothing even comes close to this project. Amazing job and attention to details Walt. I especially liked the Green and Green style hand forged iron work around the timbers. Hands down, the best estate in and around Whitefish. This one is even more extravagant than the “G” mansion above Whitefish Lake. The Riley guys really outdid themselves with their dry-stack stone work. The greatest testament to a project this size, is for it to appear as if it’s been there for centuries. Well, Walt and High Country Builders nailed it perfectly!
Being a craftsman it’s rare that we get the credit of putting the dreams into reality. It’s very neat that the host names by name the guys that did the work…
Breathtaking, truly! 😶🌫️ The gentleman giving the tour is delighted by the grandeur he’s helped to create, and it’s great to see his smile! Amazing craftsmanship. ❤
Been to Montana and the summers are beautiful. The winters with the below zero temps only a couple of rooms within should be heated. Dressing in layers is a definite.A lot of craftsmanship/ lots of local materials . Wondering how it’s heated during the winters/roof runoffs when it rains and walking on those stone pathways during winter might be tricky.The place leaves one speechless…
@finaboykm - yeah. My first thought was Montana winters you gonna freeze your nuts off cos rock will not hold warmth for long. Hence the many fireplaces I suppose.
I am sure they have not overlooked how to keep that place warm in winter. Yeah probably expensive but if that's your house you aren't worried about it.
Usually when I look at houses of this magnitude I picture myself living in them, but this house is such a gem I would want to treasure it and live in a van parked in the garage 😂 what a ABSOLUTELY I MEAN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL estate. ❤❤
Breathless! Never seen anything like this home. The details, engineering, materials, artisans, construction... perfection. Even though the house is giga-big and the rooms grand, they seem cozy. Thank you for this video and explaining some of the materials used. Just breathless here.
I don’t have words, this was almost unbelievable, it’s not a house, it’s a Montana castle that feels like it might have been built hundreds of years ago, except for the current technology.
i am a very seasoned and experienced framer. i know how to build shit. i pride myself on my wit and skills...but this? this is absolutely stunning. its not my taste at all, but jesus christ this craftsmanship is beyond anything I have ever seen. the planning and brilliance behind the execution of building this home is something that takes decades to achieve. absolutely incredible man. truly master craftsmen.
I love love love love stone work, and this is just insane insane insane!! Amazing work. And nice to have a customer with such vision and big bank account. Great use of their money and your time!!🙌
This is the most incredible, imaginative house tour I've seen yet. WOW There's so much of the house we did not see and that was disappointing. He said the elevator went up four floors but they didn't go up. The wife was really disappointed they didn't really show the kitchen and its features much.
One of if not the most beautiful and amazingly constructed homes that I have ever seen!! I would absolutely love to live there because I adore that area as well and I love Glacier National Park but my one thing that makes me a little uncomfortable is those big heavy stones right over the head of the master bed where you sleep, I worry that over time they or one of them may get loose and fall on you when you're sleeping 😂😂😂
I'd love to hear/see more in terms of a deep dive into the construction techniques they used for the massive scale of stone work in this home. The engineering that goes into that sort of structural work and foundation is staggering!
That is the most awesome house ever! Amazing craftmanship! Now my dream home! Just missing a nice pool. That stone mason is truly and artist. The wood work is amazing but the stone is off the charts!
I love the way he shouts out everyone involved in this project and gives credit where credit is due. What a great guy!!! ❤
Thank you!
NICE❤@@buildmagazine_
But why is he shouting.. 😂😂seriously. Anything wrong?
Who is the billionaire that paid for this house 👍👍👍👍👏????

RIGHT!
BUILT
TO LAST
❤
I wholeheartedly agree with you, I could have never dreamed that up, all of the design and craftsmanship are amazing 🤩. So me!!
This beats every other home I have ever seen. The 150-million-dollar mansions in CA are nothing in my eyes compared to this. I love this home.
Thanks for your kind words. The back story of how this was built is impressive. 14 years in the making and the work it took to build the foundation on top of a mountain without a road was crazy. The builder is a genius.
Feels like a movie-set, not a home
Incredible vision by the owner executed magnificently by the build team. It’s definitely a home that we were happy to be part of.

We coudn't agree more!
The staircase to the office is the most impressive feature of a house that I have ever seen. Pure artists made that house.

I'm buying a lottery ticket, winning and having one of these built for me here in Northern Idaho.
Right back into the poor house. Hahaha!
@@243wayne1if this dude won the lottery he would lose it all because only the 1%ers understand investing
Might need to hit the Money ball 3 times to buy that house

Large propane tanks.
Spectacular! She said that about 5 or 6 times regarding the house and it is

Simply the most amazing house I have ever seen!!!!!
They should call this home Valhalla, no explanation needed.
I love this kind of construction & the materials used, nothing looks cheap or like it's going to break. Looks like a very solid build
