Who among us didn’t pine* for a treehouse in their youth? If you never had a big enough tree, if neither of your parents were all that handy, or if you were a City Kid, you deserve to finally live your treehouse fantasy! Let your imagination run wild as you explore these five bona fide “big kid” treehouses currently on the market - or search for your own on Zillow by typing in keyword “treehouse” under our custom home search filters.

*Pun very much intended, thank you.

1. Viva la Villa

      Where: Campton, KY
      Price: $399,000
      Beds: 1
      Baths: 1
      Size: 750 sq. ft.

      What we love: The adventure begins right at the start, on a charming bridge to your woodsy new home. An abundance of windows never lets you forget that you’re nested cozily amidst the treetops. And deep breaths of piney fresh air can be enjoyed year-round from the always-covered jacuzzi on the lower deck. Does your BFF want one, too? They can take its twin treehouse just next door.

      2. Woodsy in Winstead

      Where: Winstead, CT
      Price: $544,000
      Beds: 1
      Baths: 2
      Size: 1,308 sq. ft.

      What we love: If you’re both a tree-hugger and a lake-lover, welcome to your personal paradise! Just looking at photos of this truly vintage (built in 1913!) cottage among the trees feels like a much-needed balm for modern day life… We can nearly feel the breeze through the slatted glass windows, hear the crackling from the storybook stone fireplace, and smell dinner grilling on the deck.

      3. Scenic southern serenity

      Where: Sevierville, TN
      Price: $450,000
      Beds: 1
      Baths: 1
      Size: 418 sq. ft.

      What we love: This multi-level mountain marvel is a modern masterpiece. A small footprint of just 418 square feet is made to feel expansive with its high, reflective ceilings, lofted sleeping quarters, and a window wherever there’s an opportunity for one. The covered deck below provides an opportunity for indoor/outdoor dining and entertainment, while a stairway down to the small octagonal deck presents a spot for a private moment away with your cup of coffee. 

      4. Trunk in your bunk

      Where: Lake Arrowhead, CA
      Price: $299,900
      Beds: 2
      Baths: 1
      Size:
      576 sq. ft.

      What we love: It doesn’t get more treehouse-y than a trunk busting through the middle of your bedroom floor, does it? But somehow, this miraculous White Fir isn’t even the most charming part of this Lake Arrowhead looker; the light-filtering linen shades on the wealth of windows, the vaulted ceilings, the pops of red, and the wraparound porch are doing a lot of work, too. 

      5. Lodge on a pole among lodgepoles

      Where: Cleveland, GA
      Price: $540,000
      Beds: 1
      Baths: 1
      Size
      : 728 sq. Ft.

      What we love: This big birdhouse-like treehouse has us flapping our wings. Not only does this lodge-on-a-pole among the lodgepoles look like a true feat of physics, but it boasts floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the lush North Georgia mountains, a hot tub on the balcony, and a sauna in the bathroom… Which ALSO has a window in it! Sign us up - literally. Up there.
