Dreamy Custom Treehouses

California-based designer and builder Barbara Butler created her Terra Verde Treehouse to sit securely on two support posts and the large branches of an old oak tree. The 6' x 8' clubhouse has a cedar shingle roof, board and batten siding, hand-made glass windows, and a 120' zip line from an upper deck that doubles as a take-off platform.

Butler's Roughhouse Treehouse was built for public use in the Turnberry Town Square Children's Park in Las Vegas, Nevada. This rustic, Tom Sawyer-style structure conforms to ADA Handicap Accessible guidelines and sits around a tree transported from Texas.

Two stately trees support this customized Southampton Treehouse, which uses a 16-foot long swinging bridge to connect a big clubhouse to 3 levels of decks. Kids can soar on its exciting zip line.

Palmetto palms and hanging Spanish moss surround Butler's Marsh Point Treehouse in Florida. Cut-out shapes let light into the interior. Kids can shimmy down the pole attached to the small tower when it's time to call it a day.
