This $5.4 Million Treehouse Is Baffling the Internet

Homes that feature an internal shaft can be stunningly beautiful when executed well, but this viral California home is not one of them.

Popular Twitter account Zillow gone wild discovered the bizarre property and has fun in the field photo list.

Accurately described as a “one-of-a-kind opportunity,” the estate sits on a sprawling 6.69 acres of land in Pismo Beach, three hours north of Los Angeles. He is asking for US$3.8 million (AUD$5.4 million).

The compound has an assortment of different dwelling structures – including a cellar to store wine – with one dwelling dubbed a “real tree house”, which has drawn attention for its odd appearance.

It’s not the architectural feature or fancy vibe you might expect.

The tree contorts through several areas of the main living space, twisting ominously under and through the ceiling, wrapping itself around the walls like tentacles.

A seat has even been fashioned from the top of one of the upper tier’s thick branches, adding to the eccentricity.

The “The most literal treehouse we’ve ever seen” became one of Zillow Gone Wild’s most viral, with over 112,000 likes.

“I bet this stuff leaks like a sieve,” one user commented.

“My first thought: ANTS. So many. Many. Ants,” said another.

Others were completely baffled that a tree house was filled with rugs.

“So a literal treehouse, but instead of the expected hardwood flooring, they go with lousy carpet.”

Of course, the main concern is that the house will eventually be “destroyed” by the tree and have a lifespan.

“I can’t wait for this root structure to destroy the foundation,” one user tweeted.

Built in the 1960s, this property has remained in the same family for decades. There are plenty of other accommodation options on the sprawling property, some making the list even more unique than the Treehouse.

So if you don’t like maneuvering around tree branches for a midnight trip to the bathroom, maybe the big museum or cave house would be more to your liking.

The five different living units include the one-bed treehouse, a large museum with a studio and a one-bedroom apartment, a carriage house with a two-bedroom apartment, two other studios (one of which is a shed ) and a two-bed apartment. main house with stone fireplace.

“Each home has a wooded setting and private courtyards and decks amidst this oak-studded lot nestled in a beautiful, private coastal canyon,” the listing explains.

There are parking areas near all units, as well as parking for at least a dozen cars and an outdoor toilet/shower building. There are two RV sites with hookups and plenty of other RV sites with room to park all your toys.

Additional features include two sea train containers that are used as workshop areas and a Zen yoga platform located next to a seasonal stream, nestled in the wooded hillside.

Of course, we cannot forget the 18-meter-deep artificial cellar, “perfect for storing wine”.

The estate would suit multiple families or a quirky Airbnb — there’s a building with signage that reads The Good Old Days and screams tourist destination.

But some users of the Twitter post think the $3.8 million price tag is less than even the land would be worth, with nearly seven acres a mile from the beach.

They believe the price factored in the cost of demolition with one user calling it a “theft”.
