This home is so stunning and the views are to die for. All of the architectural details really make it spectacular.

[christopherm.esparza]

This is one of the smartest contractors I’ve ever seen. The way he gives credit to the sub contractors for the work and lifts them up without taking any credit himself. I can promise you the sub contractors in his area love working with him. Refreshing to see the humble selflessness.

[davelindgren]

Amazing. Total respect for everyone involved in this project.

[duaneklein]

Absolutely well done! Great job showcasing all your “partners” in the build. The mark of a great builder! Thank you for sharing.

[christopherm.esparza]

Absolutely beautiful! If it sat on a 2000 acre ranch with riverfront it’d be perfect

Ted Awesome presentation Conor I truly appreciate you taking the time to thank each and every subcontractor for such a fantastic job they did and the appreciation of the products congratulations to the entire team

[wilmcq]

Amazing home and great job on the video

[AZDESERT]

Beautiful home. The drive at the home, should have been pavers.

[jasonm]

Whats the price? Nice views great build quality.

[BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

The interoir is great. What do people think about the landscape around the home? It could make the home spectacular if done well.

[hannahmanager]

I would love to find a piece of property similar to this meaning the top down view, of mountain ranges and peaks. Water view isn’t as important as mountain peaks and trees

[KFEBO]

I checked their website. I don't think it's listed yet. But comparable homes on the realtor's site are around 10 million.

[jchill]

Super Duper nice home! Although, you two are cruel when showing the home. Two different times you both marvel at the views while we are stuck looking at you 2 dinosaurs.😉😂🤣

[WilliamBTCWallace]

Not sure what it is about his home, but it just feels lonely to me. Beautiful finishes, though.

[laertejm]

How long does it take to build a house like this?

[scottjohnson]

This home lacks warmth it’s just an open space?

[loragunning]

As an architect of 50 yrs experience designing and building high end/luxury single family homes, I'm sorry but I have to give this one a thumbs down. IMO, very poor design values, little to no thought about how a home (not a house) must actually function for the humans residing in it. To me this just smacks of a rather crass display of ostentatious wealth. Lotsa money, no taste, no understanding of the realities of keeping these interior and exterior finishes maintained. Granted, this is not likely a primary residence, the owners have enough money (obviously) to hire help for any/all maintenance, but even so, the spaces (at least to me) felt very cold, almost antiseptic. It didn't feel, to me, like a warm and cozy home. Just my professional opinion.

[mountainmontanaful]

Well done - Nice architectural design but over all it's too much of the same.
People move into Montana and live their idea of Montana but seriously? it's not Montana!

[danawaldrop]

Videographer sux... we didn't come here to see the people. We want to see what the people are talking about... copper ceilings huh?

[silrobati]

just a lot of open space, a big square box, souless, does not feel like a home. hated it. next time hire an architect.
