- Laura and John Lewis, a couple from Wales, built three luxury treehouses on their hillside farm.
- The latest treehouse, over a stream, cost the couple £150,000 and took six months to build.
- They now rent the treehouses out in addition to working on their farm.
In spring 2017, the Welsh sheep farmers Laura and John Lewis knew they needed another income to make their hillside farm more sustainable.
John Lewis, a trained carpenter whose family has owned the farm for three generations, wanted to build something on the land. At first, the couple thought they might build a holiday lodge. He trawled holiday-booking sites to see which homes jumped off the page. He decided instead, with the help of a farm loan, to build a treehouse.
