Pictures: Luxury Blue Forest tree houses

It would be a safe bet that many of us hear the term tree house and are immediately taken back to our childhoods. It's a time of wonderment and magic, where a little bit of wood nailed to the tree in the backyard can become an epic castle or an impenetrable fort. Wherever your thoughts may lead you, the good people at Blue Forest are not content with letting the tree houses remain a simple childhood memory.
Specializing in the design and construction of luxury tree houses, the UK-based company has designed a number of luxurious tree houses, but it was this one in particular that caught our eye.
Dubbed "Living the High Life" this high-end tree house features separate lofty retreats, one for parents and one for their children. There is an intricate canopy walkway, an assault course, and a spacious area for kids to play in.
The adult area of the tree house features all the amenities you could ask for in an upscale tree house — a conical thatched roof, a kitchen, toilet, and large living area, perfect for treetop dinner parties and entertaining. The children's tree house is comprised of three medieval towers that connect to the adult's tree house via rope bridges. There is even a trap door that leads to a secret game room with plasma TV and game console — and to top it all off, an eighty-yard zip line that connects to an adventurous assault course.
Who said tree houses are just for kids?
