Ep 3. Never too Old for a Treehouse

In the season 11 episode 3 of Treehouse Masters, titled "Never too Old for a Treehouse," host and treehouse expert, Pete Nelson takes on a challenging build for a couple in their 70s who are looking for a luxurious and accessible treehouse that they can enjoy in their golden years.

The couple, who have been adventurous all their life, want to relive their childhood memories of climbing trees and being in nature by having a treehouse built. However, as they have aged, their physical abilities have declined, and they need a treehouse that is easy to access and navigate.

Pete and his team of builders start by selecting a sturdy cottonwood tree, which is ideal for a treehouse build. They design a multi-level treehouse that is not only beautiful and functional but also meets the client's accessibility needs.

The treehouse has a ramp that leads up to the main level, which is elevated off the ground, allowing the couple to enjoy the surrounding views of the forest. The main level features an outdoor deck, a living room, a kitchen, and a workspace. The living room has large windows that allow natural light to flood in, keeping the treehouse well-lit and welcoming.

The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, making it easy for the couple to prepare their meals without having to go back to their main house. The workspace is perfect for the couple to read, write, or paint while soaking in the natural surroundings.

In addition, there is also a loft area that is accessible through a ladder and offers an additional sleeping space. The loft has a cozy and intimate feel with tree branches running through it, adding to the overall charm of the treehouse.

The design of the treehouse also takes into consideration the couple's safety. The team installs a commercial-grade railing system and a motorized lift, making it easy for the couple to move heavy items up and down the treehouse. The treehouse is also heated, ensuring that it is comfortable and cozy even during the winter months.

The team finishes off the treehouse with beautiful and natural finishes, including cedar shingles and natural wood beams that blend seamlessly with the surrounding forest. The final result is a stunning and accessible treehouse that the couple can enjoy for many years to come.

Overall, Treehouse Masters season 11 episode 3, "Never too Old for a Treehouse," is a heartwarming and inspirational episode that shows that age should never be a barrier to enjoying the outdoors and fulfilling one's childhood dreams. Pete Nelson and his team of builders have created a stunning and accessible treehouse that not only meets the client's practical needs but also offers a luxurious and beautiful space to relax and connect with nature.
