Really, I just want a house on a lake. But this tree house would truly make it special.
[PS: I used to be the tree climbing champion of my neighborhood. So that might explain my love of the tree house.]

New Camp Twin Lakes Treehouse Outfitted with Solar Array, Green Roof
The treehouse has a 1,700 square-foot roof garden, domed skylights, 1.4 kW solar array that powers the ceiling fans and misting system, two composting toilets, and a foundation built from wooden telephone poles.
Ms. Leathers' plan was selected from a total of six designs submitted by architects within Lord, Aeck & Sargent's Atlanta, Ann Arbor, and Chapel Hill offices. Her design is hidden in the trees, built with enclosed and screened spaces, and cooled by fans.
Also, students in an introductory sculpture class at Savannah College of Art and Design transformed old telephone poles into totem poles of various animals and elements of nature. The totem poles were placed along the trail leading to the treehouse and two sculptures mark the entry into the new structure.
