Tree House Sold For £7,600

Tree houses are meant for children, but this "log cabin" has been sold on eBay after being advertised as an ideal home for fist-time buyers.

The property – which is 42 ft in length is sold for £7,600 on the online auction website.

It even comes with an already attached wheels so the new owners can tow it to wherever they want it to be.

But anyone attracted by the idea of living inside a tree should not get too excited – the home may look like a hollowed-out trunk but has actually been constructed from plywood, foam and fibreglass.

The tree house was originally used to promote environmental tourism on the Australian island state of Tasmania but was put up for sale earlier this month by its most recent owner, the entrepreneur Alan Jennison.

The cabin sparked a small-scale bidding war between two interested parties after being featured in the local press, eventually selling for AU $14,000.95.
