Treehouse has its own skatepark, a wood-fired tub and was built for $170,000

Three years after quitting his job in New York to move into a van and surf and camp around the West Coast, one popular blogger and photographer decided he was ready for a home base.

But not just any apartment or condo would do for Foster Huntington. Instead he decided to build an incredible treehouse, complete with a bonafide skatepark and a wood-burning hot tub, in Skamania County, Washington.

Huntington began drawing the plans for the Cinder Cone Treehouse last spring of 2014, breaking ground on property that's been in his family for 20 years in the Columbia River Gorge. 

With the help of a small group of close friends, as well as his carpenter mother, Huntington began building in June and worked through the winter.

'Friends old and new stopped by to work and stay on the property,' he wrote on his Kickstarter. 'Some of us worked as carpenters professionally, others learned on the go.' 

Huntington, who paid his friends for their work, said a treehouse was a 'good evolution' after he spent years enjoying life in the small space of his camper, he told Mpora. 

The perfect spot was between a row of Douglas fir trees, situated on a hill that Huntington said had the best view, for the project that he estimated cost around $170,000. 

'I feel like it's important to live in a place that's really inspiring to live and in this day and age of the internet you can kind of work from wherever,' he said. 

The treehouse is made up of two 200 sq ft structures, connected by a 25ft bridge, Huntington told Outside Magazine. 

One acts as a workshop and guesthouse while the other, an octagonal cabin with bunk beds, is Huntington's living space
And have no fear, Huntington said he still has Wi-Fi and 4G internet - even up in the trees.

'That’s all I need to make a living,' he told Mpora. 'So I could be here or I could be in Manhattan and it’s way cheaper to do what I’m doing here.'
