    I'm diving into one of the most unique homes on the planet-the Dunlap Hollow Cave House, featured in Levi Kelly's 2024 World's Most Unique Airbnb tour! This 1500sqft cave has been converted into a house with a mesmerizing dark academia interior design, complete with goth arches, vintage furniture, and decor that would make even cavemen drool. With 2 bedrooms (4 beds) and 2 baths, this is a tour you don't want to miss!
    Levi Kelly's tour of this cave house is impressive, but let's see if living in a cave house is truly viable. Throughout this video, I expose the flaws of the Dunlap Hollow Cave House and discuss how practical it is as a home. From the vintage furniture to the goth arches, this cave house has it all, but is it really practical?
    In addition to exploring the details of this amazing case house, I'll be drawing comparisons to mansion tours by Enes Yilmazer, who is known for showcasing luxurious homes. While Enes Yilmazer's mansion tours are grand, they often come with their own set of flaws. We'll look at how these flaws compare to those in the cave house.
    Levi Kelly's attention to detail in this cave house tour is commendable. The unique design elements Levi Kelly highlights, such as the vintage furniture and goth arches, make this cave house stand out. But is this cave house practical for everyday living? We'll dive into that question throughout the video.
    Join me as I dive deep into the design, practicality, and overall appeal of the Dunlap Hollow Cave House. Whether you're a fan of unique homes or mansion tours, this video has something for you. Levi Kelly has truly outdone himself with this tour, and I'll be sure to mention all the critical aspects Levi Kelly covers in this stunning cave house.

      Yep. Tree roots either grow horizontally or vertically. Where I live, they grow horizontally and they attacked our drainage pipe (which, built in 1965, they used clay pipes) which cost a bit over $6k to replace. Trees and their roots pretty much keep growing until the tree dies, so each year those trees are pushing their way in, little by little.

    I think you're right about the hot tub and fireplace in terms of design and taste, but this is a $300,000 property, so I think you're asking a little too much. Not that you're wrong, but your suggestions cost substantial amounts of money and that may be more appropriate for a future project rather than a reasonable expectation at the current price point.

      ​@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Right now, millennials and gen-zedders are screwed when it comes to having their own homes. It's so expensive these days, that the only options are usually stay living with parents or fill an apartment to the gills with as many roommates as the unit can accommodate. That said, buying a few acres with a cave or two and converting the cave into a house, or maybe just buying remote acreage and building a cabin or hut certainly are good ideas provided you have the skills to be self sufficient and can do without most modern conveniences.

  • @Vlad_a450
    @Vlad_a450 4 месяца назад +16

    I have developed for myself one rule for assessing design and architecture, which you may also like: “Design is a suit of convenience.” If you are not comfortable, this is a disgusting design.
    - Disgusting light over the pool table. It won't work even on a sunny day. Just remember the lights above the pool tables where everything is thought out.
    - Lighting here is a huge problem, everywhere, in every corner of this “edifice”.
    - Humidity will quickly kill the entire finish if the electricity goes out. Since here, in principle, there is no ventilation gap between the walls of the building and the rock, all the moisture is yours. And it has already been said that this is 60 liters per day. If you use simple ventilation instead of dehumidizers, your electricity bills will not decrease.
    - I don’t know what the climate is like in the Midwest, but for some reason I’m sure it’s quite cold. Behind the perimeter of the glazing you have the largest cold bridge in the history of construction. This means that on cold days there are huge flows of condensation, destroyed finishing in adjacent segments, and heating of the entire universe. Here we need a comment from a construction engineer, a heating engineering specialist.

    If they are trying to sell, this is a great property to own for AirBnB. I heard the owners made back their $300K within the same year they bought it.

Plus, maybe there are ways to reduce how much rain falls right above the cave with some hidden roof or maybe even a wooden deck (with a roof below it which directs rainfall to the side), then you could have an elevated jacuzzi, extra living, office and entertainment space? I get it will take a bit away from the natural look (but not too much) and I feel like it will resolve a number of issues, cause I feel like the "leaky roof" will definitely be next level there...

    When is a cave really just a rock covered opening as opposed to a place that was once solid but over a long time was made underground and includes stalagmites and stalactites. Caves usually contain many beautiful formations. Please forgive me because I am no geologist or cave expert, but I have toured many walkable caves in the USA.
    This house was built in a rock overhang and it’s a perfect place for a cliff dwelling like one would find in the deserts of Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Visit Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado.

    They could've removed all of the soil above, along with some loose rocks, by hand, put 5 layers of pond liner, cover the liner with a little less of the soil & rocks to save weight. The trees can be worked around. Then, they'd have reduced their humidity by 90%. But they'd still need a dehumidifier, just not 4.
    If there's a leak, remove the trees and line it all.

    Well know your use case first: If you plan an Airbnb don't go too expensive on the material as wear-and-tear will be high. And they really nailed the design here. My guess is that the rental yields are pretty good for this property, especially with all the media coverage.
    Homeownership in the major US cities really requires you to go full risk and hopefully make it with your startup (which is tough... in the early days of my startup I often slept on trains as I couldn't afford hotels) as otherwise you'll never own a home. Or start "looking for a man in finance"...
    Another option is geo-arbitrage if you look at what properties you can get in South-East-Asia where prices however are rising very fast too!
    Funny enough that I just watched another beautiful, modern "cave-home" yesterday while on a flight. Admittedly though only the basement is styled like a cave and I am not sure how much it really goes into that hill in this case. Plus the style is very much the opposite of this one as it's very glass-and-steel heavy as to be expected if you know Jean Nouvel (Enes: "Touring a $52,500,000 BATMAN Inspired Glass and Steel Mansion in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat")...

    Agreed, bathroom ventilation seems like a major issue. Further to that point, it doesnt seem the drainage system has a ventilation stack for he methane as required by modern building code. Perhaps there is a way to drill a one hole going into the bathroom with a high powered fan venting out the bathroom beside a stack for the toilet venting out the methane. With a modest investment it seems the outside front of the home has alot of potential to create an outdoor living space perhaps with a Finnish woodburning Sauna, Cold Plunge, and a beautiful in ground hot tub perhaps made of dark slate, and than an area to have bbq's , a smoker,and perhaps a pizza oven, and than a beautiful lounge area for campires , and budget permitting a rustic in ground pool. and than an area for a small garden.

    This one was pretty well done and built, i mean to be a natural place, they think about the most important which is comfort and match the interior theme with external area, Perhaps for the ventilation of the bathrooms it would have been better to use underground ventilation And personally I would have put the jacuzzi on the opposite side and a kind of waterfall design along the wall, I don't know but overall considering the location, this is the house with the fewest flaws we have seen.

    Ok so if the roof leaked and was a water dripping problem. Instead of an exposed roof you would build an interior roof that would shed any water to the edges for a sump to collect and pump out. Basically a roofed house inside a cave. But alas solid stone not a water seeping mess.

  • @AreWeLearningYet77

    Seems like if you just send a duct from that bathroom vent directly to the outside, you could bypass whatever odors could come from the bathroom and prevent them from saturating the entire place. Letting it vent directly into the bedroom is definitely iffy. Seems like an oversight. The other problems don't seem to have a good solution at all. Maybe coat the entire rock facade in resin so you get the look, but it's all sealed off properly.

    I don't think you would ever want to open the front doors in this house. You will have half a billion mosquitoes inside your house for the rest of summer within two seconds. I suppose if you live in a cave house you should already be familiar with centipedes and other high moisture bugs so it might not concert the residents. I love the interior design.

    Interesting novelty. I’m a Hollywood Hills native who has been through some house damaging earthquakes, and knowing your escape route is second nature. I have almost a natural aversion to caves, they make me anxious. I’ll pass.
    Also, they could have avoided the “hotboxing” situation by running ventilation under the floors, where they obviously drain the 15 gallons a day from the dehumidifiers.
    Bats, mildew cave smell, and gas appliances in a cave. Pass.
    Thank you Arvin, always interesting.

    Just throwing out random ideas, I don't know if you can do this upside down without it dripping horribly, but could they have coated the ceiling in several layers of some kind of clear resin or something? something to where it's going to seal and stop the water problem and the smell without necessarily taking away from the view of the ceilings? That bathroom problem is a doozey though lol

    I've been loving your videos, great information. Concerning the 'hot box' effect after a #2, can't they just open all doors including that side outside door and let things breathe a few minutes. And animals. Don't know quite where this is but random creatures do wander where they will - and I'm thinking bear? Or, if in Canada, drop bears? (Or is that Australia?)

    It is an awesome property but my concern would be mold and mildew. Dehumidifiers are expensive to have running all the time but you can never turn them off or this interior would be destroyed rather quickly. I don't think water will actually "leak" in but it will constantly leach in. Without serious de-humidification, the ceilings would be wet with condensation. I just don't think the ventilation is adequate.

    Personal opinion:
    Absolute NO for living in!
    I consider it a gimmick. If I have 80 acres, I would splatter such quirky places over the property, partially in unsuspected hidden locations…just for fun and wow factor. But I’d have a main house.
    Also:
    The fresh air situation is a big No from me! It fully relies on an artificial solution.
    Fun & entertaining video as always!
    Best wishes
    P.S.:
    IF the $300.000,- is for the whole property AND “house”…I’d take it!!
