Ammon News - A jungle-themed mansion is now on the market for £912,560 and buyers will get the chance to live like a real-life Tarzan, even 'swinging from room to room' on a huge rope swing.

An extraordinary house listing in Lakeport, California, has gone viral, with social media users left fascinated by its incredible jungle-themed decor, like something out of Tarzan.

With a giant wooden elephant, heaps of shrubbery, a swimming pool and even a rope to "swing from room to room", owners have compared the three-bedroom property to 'Disney World' for adults.

City Center Realty shared pictures of the timber-framed house on property site Zillow, showing off the £912,560 ($1.2million) home's striking open-plan layout, complete with second-floor balconies and an overhead bridge.

Photographs show a giant rope dangling from the 36ft-tall ceiling right down to the floor, allowing wild homeowners to swing between rooms just like Tarzan himself.

The property on been listed on Zillow since October 2020, and City Center Realty have yet to find a suitable buyer.

Estate agent Colleen Henninger has said that most of those who come to view the property just want to have a look at it, without any intention of buying.

Although the asking price has since dropped from $1.9million to $1.2million in that time, it's still currently the priciest listed home currently on Zillow in Lakeport.

Social media users have been left mesmerised by the property, describing it in turn as a "jungle gym for adults" and "like an awesome treehouse".

One user by the name of Megan McDonough-Hartwell wrote: "Lakeport's new club is Tarzan! This place has it all."


While another woman, by the name of Kathy Froneberger commented: "All I can think about is how magnificent Carol Burnett's Tarzan yell would sound in here".

The unique home comes with 3.7 acres of land, filled with trees ready to climb, plus a large swimming pool in its back garden which you could pretend is your own jungle lagoon.

City Center Realty estate agent, Colleen Henninger - who is also friends with the current homeowner - said: "It's a great house. It's like Disney World.

"You can swing from the rock to the stage and adults could even climb up the rope and swing across the second floor, but I wouldn't recommend that for the kids.

"My kids used to swing from that rope from one of the rocks to the dining room table. They loved it and the home owner's kids loved it too".

She continued: "It's a unique home and it's going to need a unique buyer. You go in and you either love it or hate it. It needs someone who wants to entertain their guests and have fun.

"We've had a lot of interest, but that's usually people that want to see the house and not necessarily buy it. There's a lot of intrigue. It was built with fun in mind. If I could afford it I'd buy it".

As the owner has been renting out the home as an Airbnb destination for £560 per night over the summer months, Colleen says there haven't been many opportunities for viewings. They've had one serious viewer, however, that man decided upon another home last week.
