We like fantasy novels since it make you feel you are in the other world, but what if you could actually live in another realm every day? Oregon artist and house developer Ed Bemis work together and build this whimsical home - Shinning Hand Ranch that is so detailed it is fit for royalty from your favorite book. This unbelievable home was completely custom created by local artists and incorporates eco-friendly features. The space is heated and cooled with the use of geothermal energy with a solar heated pool. Intricate, hand-made pieces are the cornerstone of what makes this home unique.
The time spent on the house details are incredible. For example, it took artist Ed Bemis 1 1/2 years just to carve this intricate door. Artists incorporated lots of native imagery into the design details - flowing stream like flooring, the animals on the staircases. You can find tree branch form decoration everywhere in the room, kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. You might have the illusion you are in the forest and some kind of art gallery instead of a normal home. But that might be the reason why it costs $7,600,000. Haha… Not sure about you. Even I can afford such house, I won’t want to live in there. What about you?
