Scotty Bednar built the curved wooden staircase in a barn because there wasn't room to make it inside the house. That is the kind of detail that gives Enes Yilmazer's Encino ranch tour its character: the builder is there to explain how the place came together, right down to the awkward parts.
Listed at $22.5 million, the compound combines a timber-framed main house, cottages, a barn house and a mid-century home with a recording studio. Yilmazer's tour has drawn about 61,000 views in its first half-day, a much faster start than his regular uploads usually make.
Homeowner and designer Pati Hillis joins Bednar to show what they have made of a ranch established in the 1930s. They acquired the property in 1999 and undertook extensive renovations, stripping the original house back to its studs and raising the entrance ceiling.
The formal living room's antique flooring came from a Rhode Island mill. Bednar explains that every piece needed re-milling. Elsewhere, heavy timber framing gives the great room its structure, while Poodle's Pub conceals its bar behind a disappearing wall. A nautical bunk room takes its cues from old wooden sailboats, complete with working portholes.
Viewers are picking up on the making as much as the finished rooms. Comments single out Bednar's craftsmanship and the stories behind the salvaged materials; another describes the upload as several distinct house tours in one.
Yilmazer also makes time for the less mansion-like residents, greeting miniature horses Moxie and Baby by the paddock. Near the end, Pati explains the decision to sell: an off-grid property in Topanga offers the chance to begin another ranch project.
