World's Largest Treehouse

Think you had the world’s greatest treehouse as a kid? Well this guy’s got you beat. Horace Burgess’s treehouse is located somewhere near Crossville, Tennessee and stands over 97-feet tall thanks to the 80-foot white oak tree it was built around which also happens to be about 12-feet in diameter at its base. It has 11 floors, somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, a miniature basketball court and is held together by roughly 258,000 nails. If you can think of a better way to spend $12,000, I’d like to hear it. For more details visit usatoday.

That would suck if you had to live in that.

That would definitely not suck at all if you had to live in that. It would probably be the coolest house to live in after one of the tiny Tumbleweed homes.

I live in Crossville and have been to the treehouse. It is amazing but a bunch of kids took advantage of the kindness of the owner and have written all over the wood and it's really sad how bad it is now. I can't believe it used to be so pretty.
