The treehouse was owned until recently by architect and environmentalist Jason McLennan, best known for designing Leonardo DiCaprio’s eco-friendly resort on an island in Belize. He sold the treehouse earlier this year for $875,000 (around £654,000), but spoke to Zillow about his love for the building.

“It really spoke to me. It’s really connected to the environment around it,” he said. “It has great views, great light and it has all these different levels. You can really find a space that fits your mood.”

He continued: “It’s just nature’s paradise. Everything is nestled in the trees, so the trees are intact and the ecosystem is intact. You do feel like you’re in a special place when you’re there.”
