12 Stunning Tree Houses

12 Stunning Tree Houses

When I was little, I visited a friend whose dad built a tree house with a zipline that led directly to the family’s front door. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen—but nothing compared with these astonishing dwellings. Some houses are the handiwork of ambitious amateurs, while others are eco-friendly architectural marvels.

I’ve Got My Eye on You
Sure, this tree house looks suspiciously like an eyeball, but the “Free Spirit Sphere” (designed by Tom Chudleigh) coexists unobtrusively with its forest environment.

Stunning they may be but as I have no head for heights' would never be tempted if I was given the chance.

I prefer the simpler ones. I like tree houses better than houses on trees.

Delightful and intriguing. Would not like to have to cart bags of groceries up the long stairway up to my tree home in the sky! Nothing like a fantasy ideal tree home but would it not be fabulous to actually live in one?

One person worried that if too many people lived in the big trees there would be no more for her children to enjoy in the future. Rest assured, not the entire planet wants to live in a tree. We can dream sometimes can't we without a lecture on how we should or should not live. Yes, it would be lovely if we all lived like the people of the rain forest where they respect resources and live simply.

Most of the rest of us are stuck in cities or towns and will never get to live in a tree house. But it is a delight for those who get to actually do it!
