Mountain Top,2 Theaters,Ski-in/Ski-Out, Limo Golf Cart,Hot-T in Masthope

Welcome to Himmlischer Chateau (Heavenly Home), where the dream,
group vacation experience comes together through the eyes of an award-
winning developer and Disney engineers. Himmlischer is more than a
house – it is an entertainment venue purposely designed for groups of
all ages. The Chateau has two identical master bedrooms and master
baths and both have views of the skiers and wildlife going by,
jacuzzi whirlpool baths, twin vanities, glass block walls, 4 speaker
hi-fi sound sytems with I-pod hook-ups with music and view of the
slopes even in the shower.
LOCATION
Himmlischer is located at the top of a private four season community
complex, offering year round activities. Semi-private Snow skiing
on a mountain that is taller than Jack Frost & Big Boulder and has
longer trails yet NO crowds and is right out the back
door. You can ski right from the chair lift to the garage. Ski-Big
Bear is an exclusive, semi-private mountain with 5 lifts, lodge,
restaurant, bar and food market.
You won't get run over while teaching your kids how
to ski here and you park just once and ski-in and out the whole week
or use our 6 passenger custom limo golf cart to get around in spring
summer and fall.
Masthope community also has a fitness center, beach, pool, water
slides, horseback riding, kids petting farm, lake, fishing, boats and
sport courts to use. A spa with indoor pool, golf, rafting, canoeing,
paintball, eagle observation area at the Eagle institute, museums,
antiquing and family fun park are all minutes away, but the best part
is that the deer are everywhere and we garrantee that you will see
them, PLENTY of them every day right on the property.
HOUSE DESIGN
The lavish chateau includes 4 hi-def plasma TVs, 2 larger than life
theaters with PlayStation III, X-BOX 360, outrageous sound systems, a
4' commercial, Tapan-Yaki steak house kitchen griddle and nicer
furniture and
cabinets than I have in my own home. Before drafting the house, we
blueprinted the fun for every activity and part of our think-tank
process was considering where adults and children of each age group
would congregate. Adults savor the top floor most often where there
is a 16 foot television, sunkin living room and huge kitchen island
to entertain around.
Teenagers congregate in the game room with 12 foot hi-def gaming, tv
and dvd theater, but to keep the toddlers from fighting
for either of these 2 theaters, we outfitted “Camp Stack-em-up” (the
bunk bed room) with a Nintendo Wii system and a 32' plasma just for
them.
We also put plasma TV’s and DVD players in 3 of the bedrooms
so that parents can put cartoons on for toddlers.
The first floor was designed for families with the youngest children
in mind. Since they are usually the first to wake up and go to the
game room theater, everyone else above them can still get some
sleep. We also recognized how hard it can be to get kids to eat when
they are having fun, so we put an extra kitchen on this level and a
card table.
Every conceivable thing that you will do here, we have done at other
rentals and brainstormed about making it better.
FEATURES - Ultra high-end built-in electronics, 25 speakers, 5 plasma
TV's, 16' motorized, drop-down TV/movie/PLAYSTATION III screen in
living room and a 12' screen in the game room theater WITH X-BOX 360,
3 Jacuzzis, bubble hockey, pool table, gold flake
granite counters, kitchen island with 42" computer and a 4' wide
Tapan-Yaki griddle, just like in a Japanese steak house!
The outside deck and sunken-in living room are both down a step from
each other and two steps from the kitchen to maximize the view of the
slopes and great outdoors and create inclined movie theater-style
seating for
watching games, movies and TV on the giant 16-foot screen.
We also had custom glass deck railings made so that no matter where
you stand or sit, you enjoy a spectacular, unobstructed view from the
top floor, at the top of the mountain.
On the inside, since there is no couch or even a living room that
will sit 18 people to watch a movie, we designed a custom, 16-foot
long leather couch, paired it with four ottomans that fit under a
coffee table, and layed out the kitchen so that it forms a second and
third elevated row of theater seating and becomes a part of the
living room at game time. The leather barrel chairs at the lower
island turn to face the screen, and people sitting on the bar stools
at the upper island see over everyone.
HIMMLISCHER'S KITCHEN
The unique 4' COMMERCIAL griddle in the island, integrated 42" plasma
TV/computer and Disney-designed lighting are obvious innovations, but
the cabinets and hardwood floors and trim take the term "CUSTOM" to a
whole new level. You can’t buy Himmlischer's cabinets, trim and
hardwood floors in Home Depot or Lowes. Our designer started by
selecting grain-matched maple and mahogany planks. Those were then
milled, stained and cleaned in a dust-free spray booth to our
specifications and latter became the perfectly matched hardwood
floors, doors and trim in the house. If you run your finger over the
finish of the wood doors and trim in the house, it is as silky smooth
as waxed show car. For baseboard and
door casings, we started with planks that were twice the width and
thickness of traditional trims and had them routed to our own design.
LIVING THE DREAM
Imagine entertaining guests around the kitchen island while you gaze
out onto the ski slopes watching the night skiers or the deer walk
by. At game time, you press a button and an 16 foot TV screen
descends over the windows. Better yet, why not sit in the 8 person
hot-tub with a frozen drink and enjoy the view from the top floor
deck? This house is designed to provide you with every luxury you
can imagine while you take in the beauty of the outdoors. Whether it
is summer, autumn or spring, this home provides a beautiful setting
with plenty to do in the home and surrounding community. In the
winter guests enjoy a very exclusive, semi-private skiing experience,
without the dangerous crowds on the slopes and long lift lines that
you find elsewhere. With the 4 rechargeable radios that come with the
house, you can let the children ski in and out (day and night) and
keep in touch with them as they drift across the living room windows
on the chair lift.
