This House Looks Ordinary From The Outside, Only Until You Step Inside And See Why It Costs $7,600,000

Dragons, battles and daring adventures. The beauty of fantasy novels is that they can take you to other worlds, but what if you could live in another realm every day? Well, Oregon artist and house developer Ed Bemis managed to make that possible. Tucked away in the foothills of Ashland, Oregon sits Shining Hand Ranch, a whimsical home that is so detailed it is fit for royalty from your favorite book.

This dream home was completely custom created by local artists and incorporates eco-friendly features. The space is heated and cooled with the use of geothermal energy with a solar heated pool. Intricate, hand-made pieces are the cornerstone of what makes this home unique. Bemis spent 1 1/2 years alone carving the Brazilian mahogany arched front door. The 8,881-square-foot property spans across 706-acres, enough room to keep your dragon on. Bored Panda has your virtual photo tour of Shining Hand below, and if you $7,600,000 to spare all of this could be yours!

Beautifully crafted, but just a little bit over the top. that wavy wooden floor makes my eyes go funny

I feel like they just didn't know when to stop. Some of the elements here could have been quite beautiful, but all together... it competes with itself. Your eye ends up getting thrown all over the place, there's no harmony. Like, the floors... I could have seen that working if there wasn't so much contrast there. The crazy shape of the windows competes with the dragons on the fireplace, which also compete with the shape and textures of the hearth. The staircase would have worked better without the carved animals. You can't just throw all of that together and expect it to work.

There's just too much craftmanship on display - that Van Gough granite is gorgeous- but a whole room of it???

No, thank you. Its too much of a good thing, I think. Too many patterns (like the kitchen), which all by themselves are amazing, but get a bit lost because there are too many, I think.
