For Colorado-based instagram influencer JJ Yosh (@jjyosh), home is where he spends most of his time, entertaining, working and playing!
From personal endeavors to nurturing his insta-famous cat’s popular career, (make sure to follow his adventures at @simon- theadventurecat!) JJ has intentionally crafted and curated a perfectly insta-worthy lifestyle – in a unique living space that seamlessly incorporates the stunning outdoors with the rock-surrounded interior in his breathtaking mountain home.
JJ bought this property a few years ago in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado with the help of his cousin, West + Main agent Melanie Erdmann. He has since transformed the house, which was already unique because of its position built into the side of a huge rock! The process is still ongoing, but he ultimately hopes to have an amazing space which both supports his sponsored work as well as both living and play areas.
When you walk into this breath-taking home it immediately feels serene. There is a babbling water feature in the entryway with fog smoking off of it, creating an illusion of a deep forest, built into the boulder that the entire house is built against. As you make your way through the house, everything is done with care. No part of nature was interrupted, but rather the house was adapted to the natural environment.
A winding staircase creates a division between the various living areas, bedrooms and stories, with countless variations of plants meandering through the corridor, making the entire home feel earthy and fresh.
The real show-stopper of the main living oasis is the sitting area which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and gives the impression you are in a magnificent tree house overlooking the green trees and rolling hills beyond. It seamlessly flows from indoor to outdoor, creating a sense of peace with nature. The modern pieces of furniture add a beautiful touch, but the main character of this space is the wildlife beyond the windows that are showcased throughout the home.
A long wrapping bar is perched next to the seating area and grounds the space with a finish which was commissioned to look like dinosaur-skin: creating a latte while looking out to the stunning rock formations has never been more enjoyable.
Downstairs, the spaces come to life even more. JJ has created a “grotto” space that will feature a water feature bubbling over, and is growing plants that you would think couldn’t survive in Colorado. He is growing different varieties of fruits and is able to do so because of the climate he’s created. It’s warm and humid, mimicking a tropical location.
One of our fave social celebs to follow, we can't wait to see what JJ does with the rest of the renovations, and we're excited to follow him and the Backpacking Kitty on their next adventure!
