Located in Crossville, Tennessee, one of the eastern states of the USA, this structure is one of the largest tree houses in the world. With 80 rooms 30 meters above the ground, this design is made of oak wood. The structure, which is closed to the public due to fire hazard, attracts attention with its size and originality.
“This is probably the most epic tree house I’ve ever seen,” is how those who have seen it describe the structure, while geographer and photographer Chuck Sutherland calls it “arguably the largest tree house in the world” and states that this unique 97-meter-high structure is located in Crossville, Tennessee. Supported by six different trees, the tree house stands out with its surreal architecture and enormous tree swing. A tree extending outward on the third floor and a partition at the top that looks like a penthouse suite also add a special feature to the building.
Tree House
Built by the Reverend Horace Burgess, this extraordinary structure was the result of a vision that he said was commanded to him by God. The building has 80 rooms and includes different areas such as a basketball hoop, a chapel and a bell tower. During the 14-year construction process, the pastor reportedly spent around $12,000. However, this unique tree house, which was closed in 2012 for violating fire safety rules, still attracts fans and a petition is circulating to reopen it for visitors.
Natural Wooden House
Treehouse living is growing in popularity. From tiny tree houses built on an island in British Columbia to the magical five-story tree house in Turin, Italy, different examples emphasize a lifestyle in touch with nature. Tree houses, which are particularly environmentally friendly, contribute to the protection of green areas and support a sustainable lifestyle.
