El Camino Treehouse

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Phoenix, AZ

Our family home is just outside historic central phoenix, where we used to live on dirt roads and among lots of horse properties. Since then the city has expanded far and wide, putting us close to the center yet next to acres and acres of mountain preserves like Dreamy Draw Park, with a trailhead at the end of our street, an acre of property to ourselves which is rare, and in a quiet neighborhood. (still with horses nearby!) I built this treehouse as a work space and studio during covid, as I work remotely doing admin for a luxury treehouse construction company. Our family still lives in the house and we welcome guests to use the treehouse. The large windows allow for great views and are mostly hidden behind all of the tree branches. Enjoy the treehouse experience and wonderful views of our quiet neighborhood next to the mountains! Learn more about this land:Walk up the ramp and disappear into the branches of our giant pine tree. You'll find a large deck suspended in the trees and a cozy little treehouse with giant windows. No one would ever expect a treehouse in a quiet neighborhood of Phoenix, but our 1 acre lot with 50 year old pine trees is a little hidden gem. Views from our front yard are beautiful and no one will even notice you're there.
