An extraordinary treehouse with 64 diamond-shaped windows forming an 11,000-pound pinecone that dangles high in the trees is on the market for $150,000.
If you have a piece of open land with towering trees, think Redwoods, this could be a great opportunity.
Dustin Feider, of O2 Treehouse in Oakland, is the brains behind the design and says the work was built earlier this year for home goods company S.C. Johnson and their Glade fragrance line.
"They gave me artistic freedom," says Feider whose company has built more than 60 treehouses since its founding in 2006. "They wanted something clear and crystal that represented the smells of the forest."
Ever since the completion of the commercial shoot, the treehouse has been hanging 60 feet above the ground on a piece of land in Bonny Doon near Santa Cruz and renting out for $350 on Airbnb.
With 102 square feet, the space is big enough for two twin beds. The walls of spiraling windows immerse you in canopy with 360-degree views.

The price also includes a "skillfully hand-crafted indoor/outdoor bathroom connected to the treehouse via wooden catwalk," according to the listing on the O2 Treehouse website.
