Who Wouldn’t Want To Live In A House Like This?

Ever since I was little I’ve loved treehouses. My dad surprised my brother and I one summer by building us the most AMAZING treehouse while we were at camp. It was a good 25 feet in the air and had all the essentials: ladder, fort walls and a door at the top to lock out “intruders”.

We spent hours every day during the summer up there pretending to be knights in a castle or soldiers under attack (the kind of stuff kids use video games for these days).

I recently came across this company that takes treehouses to a whole new level. Each treehouse project is assessed individually. The team takes into consideration the condition of the environment and of the tree, with the size and features the clients desire.

“Treespaces” as they call them, can be outfitted with sitting and sleeping benches, storage spaces, a mini-kitchen, heating, glass windows, lighting, as well as a sound system for multimedia. Every piece is prefabricated in a workshop, and then brought together on site.

Lookout cabin in Austria:

From inside the cabin there is a breathtaking view to Carinthian mountains and Lake Millstatt.

I don’t know about you but if I had a house like that, I don’t know if I’d ever want to leave!

Even though I am an adult I fantasize about building my own space like the ones you have posted…that’s the cool thing about being a dad; you have an excuse to do the things you wanted to do as a kid with your own children.

Your post reminds me of this old show that my wife and I used to lust over on the travel channel called “true and amazing vacation homes.” I remember a cool segment they did on tree houses.

cool post.

@Nate – Yeah, I still would love to build one. Problem is I don’t have a tree big enough or a neighborhood that would allow me to build one.

@jason – Yup! sure is.

I never had a tree house growing up. But if I had a view like some of those a tree house would be a must. The only issues I could imagine is…

Where do I plug in my Mac?
Does my wireless signal work?
Where can I put my cigar ashes?
Does it have A/C?

Once these have been addressed it may be the greatest tree house ever…
