THE pressures of modern life mean that most of us have probably dreamt at one time or another of fleeing to the hills. But real-life caveman Angelo Mastropietro has made his hermit dream a reality - by spending over £160,000 turning a 700-year-old cave, carved into 250 million year old sandstone cliffs in the the Wyre Forest, into his dream home. The 38-year-old, originally from Worcestershire, was living a high-flying life as the head of a successful recruitment company in Australia when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007. The condition led to him being temporarily paralysed - and inspired him to seek a simpler life.

Nothing like working hard and building something yourself. Hopefully, I can be proud of something one day and accomplished like this man.
Throw a quarter of a million dollars on the table and I'll make it happen. No sweat. (Literally).
That's the problem with most of the people "one day". That someday may never come. Life is to live and not to prepare to live. Start NOW.

I think Jim Rohn says calls it Someday Isle. Some day I'll do this. Some day I'll have my own business. Some day I'll drive that.
but don't let me be a damper. instead, let this man teach you that, no matter what illness you've been tagged with, NEVER let anybody limit you to the bare minimum. because if a person who lost both his (or her) legs to a land mine in some foreign country or was born with some "defects", you CAN do whatever you truly desire to do. NEVER let the limitations of others limit YOU!!
stop waiting start planning
true. but still need to know how to do it, is a very big process and money too..
As one with M.S., also, you inspire me to not give in! This guy did all this, I can get up in the morning and at least get out of my apartment!!
janet ruggles same, I have it too, and most days completely non functional. He is Amazing!! What an inspiration. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his home! Angelo, if your looking for a wife....👍😂
janet ruggles very inspirational for someone living with MS, God Bless

Unbelievably talented. I pray health and healing on you!
Grafxgrl most wholesome comment ever
In Jesus name..amen who said he has a mansion for all of those who believe. Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you for in my Father's house there are many mansions.
He is only 38? WOW He certainly seems like he has it together. He had an illness that he over come. Amazing
The attitude makes a difference.

If anyone's interested the TV show "Grand Designs" has an entire episode dedicated to this house.
Thanks!:)
thedr00 oh cool! thanks! 😊
thanks so much for this post...I am going to this now...this build is mind blowing
It must be a beautiful thing to live within a space, knowing that it was the result of hard work by your own hand
His own water
All he needs is his own power and heating.
He ready for the apocalypse
He doesn't have to pay taxes.
If he has a running watercourse nearby, then hydro powers an option.
May be he is spending time in this house because of covid-19
The heating part is not a big thing. He has a firewood stove and the house is naturally insolated.
@@TrangDB9 what is borewell that he installed beneath the ground? How it works to provide water constantly?
This Man should be very Proud of what he built. No need for AC, heat is very easy. Easily the Best Home I’ve ever seen built by 1 talented Man!
No no no... "Pride commeth before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18)
real life minecraft ..
For realz
ikr
+Chicken Skit Exactly what I was thinking.
totally
That's what I was thinking.
Wifi in a cave? God damn! I can't even get a good wifi connection in my own house😑
so get closer to your wifi modem.
you must have some ass internet provider
+Fresh3 so buy better internet...
your profile pic said it all
+Eztli Ixtli brain damage?
As if building this magnificent home were not enough, it is even decorated perfectly -- at least to me. And the painting with hand-prints, brilliant!
He got that idea from the ancients of another continent.

I was just saying to my buddy on our way to work today,I need to buy some land with a good cave ,he laughed at me!
Man , you have a done an awesome job of that cave!!
"You didn't know that!!?? Have you been living in cave?!!"
Well, as a matter of fact, I have.
Only 230,000? Good on you man. It looks beautiful.
Him doing the work himself really paid off.
+MissFushi POTATO PRINCESS AHHHHHHHHH XDDDD HELLO!!! what a surprise to see you here!
+xetholdus HI Love!!! Hahahah. I am a barcroft watcher. Hehehehehe. You found meeeee!!!
MissFushi ^o^
your right
Really puts million dollar homes to shame 😂
I Think He Always Playing Minecraft...Just Kidding
I am thinking about nature prospective..
I got a feeling you have to have a few bucks in the bank to live in a cave like his on an ongoing basis... just saying 🤒
ruclips.net/channel/UCJJOMTPJUuCtnjYmgcjvb3g
What a smart / talented man, how he did so much harder work by him self , wow?
That is so well done and beautiful. I wouldn't think twice about living there full time.
tigergreg8 Until the cave trolls show up.
A normal business man would choose a luxury apartment.
You chose a cave.
You are my idol.
Thank you, that's inspiring. Any business man can buy a luxury apartment, I sculpted The Rockhouse with my own hands in honor of my ancestors "Mastropieto" it means 'Master of Stone', what an incredible opportunity!
wow....What a wonderful masterpiece..., just an infrastructure inside like " ellora caves " & " temples" in INDIA. Fantasic work. I admired a lot..magnificent
@Sri Moonshine luxury apartments are cheaper sometimes. Regular apartment rent is around 1.5k. Luxury rents are around 100k more. Purchase price for normal apartment is around 150,000, and luxury apartment purcase price is 2x that at 250,000. Kinda simple to figure out if you know how to do math lmao. But thats just where I live so could for sure be different in other places.
That gives a whole new meaning to the word Impressive.
Beautiful. I cannot imagine walking into the home and not feeling the weight of the all problems come off your shoulders.
The real life inspiration for the game Minecraft. It started to get dark so he built a shelter in a cave... common sense really. Creepers are deadly.
Salvation73 that's exactly why I love that game I mean possibilities in it are almost endless if you have inspiration to make something
Edin743 I once built a giant tree and had the glory idea to make a fire on top to see better in the night... It all burnt down within minutes. Didnt made a backup. >.
Impreval lol
Midnight Haze Excuse me i just wanted to bore the hell out of you.
Impreval no hard feelings though geez
That shower is AMAZING!!!
FKN RIGHT IT IS
Just so I can brag. That’s my dads friend and I’ve been there a few times. I know I sound like a brat but hey. Also my uncle, dad and cousin helped him refit it 😂
Oh yeah
@@Mine-Finder a spoiled brat
Hey brat 😉 is Angelo dating anyone at the moment 😜
Mine Finder you too buddy
MikeOhGee I live in a small council house and barely have any money spent on me so????????
Future archeologists:
🤔 this was probably a temple
And then the light bulb would be 2.3million years old
Omg that's beautiful, I would love to live a life like that. it's so different and creative. What life would be like living in a Beautiful Cave house.
Yeah it's cool
you'll get over it in a month
I would love to live there to, however, I would invest in all those light bulbs that give off natural looking light. I bought one a few days ago to put above my chair and it works really well.
fucking hipster
Naw, install either light tubes or fiber optic light, they need no power. Then he only needs power for lights at night. I would use LED plant lights, then he can grow food inside too.
He is going to be cooled at home in hot summers. The only issue I find it could be a problem is humidity, specially after heavy rain.
Truly amazing. Very hard work really pays. Congratulation Modern Caveman.
Props to this man. What a beautiful home and scenary.
Love it when people are passionated about something and really go in fully. Well done mate, looks stunning.
What a gorgeous masterpiece! I hope that Angelo gets to live there full-time, very soon.
He is quite inspiring.
And to have done so much, with MS. I have experienced the healing effects of being out in nature, and he likely feels this, as well.
Tornados don't stand a chance against this house 🏅
how about zombies attack?🤔
I don't think tornadoes are a real big problem in the United Kingdom
@@catherinehenry2291 I was referring to the house itself vs tornados. Not whether the United kingdom has tornadoes or not lol 🤣
....and you're a happy cave man. Well done and proud of you. Greetings from the Caribbean.
This is how caveman kings used to live back in the stoneage
Tony Stank lmao that made me laugh
Tony Stank There's wifi back in the stoneage ???
Yeah Right
@@aswawarman5176 you must be fun at parties
Aswawarman
r/woooosh
This story embodies the essence of what it means to be a real man. Despite having a crippling disease such as multiple sclerosis, he took responsibility of his life, started from nothing, and made his dream a reality. 1,000 hours of pure grind, will power, and perseverance. Just wow.
. . . with nothing? He didn't say that.
@Ace Buck There are periods of remission with MS.
Gonna be girlfriend/wife is sure a lucky person...she gets a caveman with modernist attitude and at the time a handsome guy.
Blue Lilly agreed. Good combination of characteristics.
Blue Lilly I was thinking 🤔 same
I guess he will have a lot of proposals for marriage from the ladies
She gets... what a miserable way to treat soul connection as a business investment
Gey
Wow. That's amazing that he could create this almost completely by himself! I wish him the best and good health!
I've always admired a person with the creativity to create something from nothing and come up with a master piece! Having the skill alone to do all of the manual labor himself is unbelievable, Braun and brains....a rare trait indeed!
🤘🙏💋
Nice bruh, I admire minecraft builders too.
Well he had the passion to learn and peruse!
It's a beautiful home and an amazing thing to be able to do yourself.
The house is so beautiful😍 I only hope that he’ll be able to live in it for a long time without his health issues getting in the way.
I've seen a lot of cave homes as it's my dream to build one. This is one of my favorites!!
Absolutely beautiful!
AMAZING! I would love to Create one of these myself! Probably would take quite a while though
It looks like something out of the Flintstones! Awesome house!
That is so well done and beautiful. I wouldn't think twice about living there full time
This guy literally build his own man cave
DOES NO ONE GET HOW GREAT THIS PLACE WOULD BE TO HIDE OUT IN ALMOST ANY APOCALYPSE!!
HE EVEN HAVE WIFI ! U HEAR THAT ? WIFI ! LET ME LIVE THERE !
Ahmad Zharfan what, you can't get wifi anywhere else?
I was slightly surprised he could get signal through solid rock.
IneptØrange ikr , thats what i mean
just because he has wifi doesnt mean he has internet.
Technically, MrTinyThumb is right. Wifi just gives you local network access. You still need a connection to the internet.
BUT, nowadays when someone says they have wireless, they mean wireless access to the internet.
Omg I want to live there! It's a dream!
What a amazing way to live!
I wish I had $$$ to could visit this place I have watch this cave house so many times I never get tired. It just so perfect.
Imagine he meets a chick out in the real world and brought her home to this shit. He'd totally get laid.
It's a good thing that this man appears to have a much better moral character than the things you think of!! Any young lady that had an equally strong moral backbone would not be using sex so haphazardly either! Some people do have there standards set way too low.....
quite!
I think she'll jump out of the car as soon as he starts driving her into the forest.
Adler Drahms did you just assume his sexual preference....!!!? :p
No, he was playing an IMAGINARY game. and in the imagination you can be or assume anything because it isn't real.
I imagine if he brought a mountain goat home to this shit he would totally get laid as well.
But maybe that's just me :)
And what's ironic is that if someone heard him saying that he wants to live in a cave and build a home inside a cave would've probably thought wow "this man is crazy". There you go!
A home and location after my own heart. Simply beautiful, breath taking, natural.
Wow, this is gorgeous. I love it! I'd love to live in a cave. Great that you didn't focus on your diagnosis and let it get you down. Whenever I have any kind of illness, I tell myself transcend it!!! And that's what I do. Enjoy your beautiful place.
I've really been considering buying property and excavating a home similar in design to this but more modern looking inside. After doing tons of research and watching probably a dozen or so video tours like this. I'm even more inspired. However it probably isn't going to happen as we only have solid Granite cliff sides here in western NC. I can't even chip or scratch the rock with a mattock. Top notch work though my friend.
then move.
William Merzlak
Have you considered hitting the gym.
there are caves in India that's a temple with perfectly sculptures of God's, .......it's over 5000 years old in all granite. so yea you get my drift
I just love this cave house him & his dad & everybody else that helped him make this done a great job!!!
So many people have the idea but lose it on application.
This gentleman has the idea and exceeded the application with good taste and incredible workmanship.
I wish him well with his MS and know that his determination and sense of style are well intact to see him through the years ahead.
Compliments!
I'm impressed by the originality, process and outcome. When you see a cave, make a cave home.☮️
anybody else's eyes go wide open when they said the cave has wifi!?😂😱
Wifi just bounces around the walls and through the house. The signals don't actually go through any walls at all so he probably gets pretty good reception all over his house.
+Leroy Jenkins Signals degrade with distance and contact with a surface, so each bounce around the house degrades the signal.
grantcivyt It's not that big though
No, that's why they make Wi-Fi antennas, coax and routers.
I built a Ginger Bread House once...................
:/
Me too my friend... me too
KWIZ DOT lmao, ya know......? I did to, failed miserably
KWIZ DOT I built a Minecraft house
lmaoo
I can’t even manage a gingerbread house.
this is one of the most amazing things i have seen so far. Dream for everybody to have such home.
This house is beautiful I love how much work he put into building this cave home. It's probably one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen and by far my favorite.
What a gorgeous home you have, I love the rustic look and simplicity. Well done!
Good for you and great job! There are many people who would love to live in a cave as beautiful as you have made yours. Probably a great many would settle for a cave with light and heat with the cost of housing the way it is.
phillip harden
B
Am watching this on rent week and I just can't imagine the incredible peace of mind he's got. He can live without society. No pressure whatsoever!
Fascinating. Always wanted to live in a cozy cave like that.
All it lacks is a Sabre tooth tiger pet.
Can I come over???
Seriously though 😑
Only if he can come in your woman cave lmao
+KarmaKing Alex are you his lawyer or something??? foh

I hope he is doing well. I know the effects of MS, especially in men. God Bless him and keep him well.

He's going to get married then his wife will take the cave in the divorce proceedings.
lol ok that was damn funny
lmao after all this work, sad reality is that that could absolutely happen in this day and age
if you have money getting married get a prenup
I heard that it does not always work,that is funny,wish someone could explain that.He has to think long and hard about marriage.
He doesn't live in California.
What an impressive build. Good for that guy. High five!
Very tasteful, great job. I love it.

Angelo Mastropietro your cave home idea and comes a happy reality It's so great! Congratulations!!!
So incredible. The man's personal story also. Been interested in cave-dwelling, underground houses, & quanset hut dwelling since I was a kid.
The entire town of Coober Pedy lives underground and in caves
Martin Ebdon Lol, a lot of people have above ground sheds and carports but the major living zones are underground or in caves

And yes, it's cos it's hella hot there.
Cheaper and better than most mansions
Cheaper yes, better, not by a longshot.
This cave home will last even after mankind's end.
It’s wildly beautiful! And this labor of love was healing for you!
Beautiful! I'd love to live there year round too! Thank you for sharing your space with the world. 1♡
