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!

    Welcome to the mystical kingdom of Shining Hand Ranch

    It was custom designed with the help of multiple local designers

    It took artist Ed Bemis 1 1/2 years just to carve this intricate door

    It’s all in the details, maple and cherry floors give the illusion of a flowing stream

    This elaborate staircase was carved from manzanita branches (indigenous tree)

    Artists incorporated lots of native imagery into the design details

    Fire And Ice style mosaic dragons are one of the most intricate house features

    The bathroom is decked out with blue Van Gogh granite

    Large open windows look-out onto Mount Ashland, Taowhywee Point, Wagner Butte, Mount Shasta, and Pilot Roc

    Geothermal energy heats-up the pool, housed in a separate building

    Would you live here with your dragons?

    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.

    I always find these 'themed' houses so darn Tacky. I don't care that your hand carved staircase cost thousands, it's tacky ugly. There's a reason why these type of homes look enchanting in fairytale stories and movies. In the real world, they are impractical and just cringe worthy.

    Honestly, if I had 7.6 millions, I would buy a different house. This one is a little bit eccentric for my taste, borderline kitchy in my honest opinion. I am not denying the craftsmanship that went into the wood details, but it is too much. And I mean Buddha and dragons and Van Gogh granite and wobbly floors... just makes me think about a bad trip on acid. Less is definitely more.

    There's a lot going on here, it's just too busy and that's without furniture. Maybe the problem is having more than one artist involved so there was no cohesive vision. I don't know, I just know I don't like it, I'm sure someone else will think it's lovely.

    That place is ghastly. My husband would tell me to say, "It's not to my taste", but I'm going for ghastly. It's cluttered and claustrophobic even without furniture and art. The endless tree branches say, "Dusting is your new life's work". He is NOT going to get his asking price for this. ... I see he's using First Nations "themed" elements, but didn't bother hiring any of the First Nations carvers to do the actual work. ..... Whoever buys this place - and someone will, Oregon's real estate market is going bananas - is going to gut it and start over. If nothing else, I can pretty much guarantee that the branches are going away. I

    NO. Because: 1. Dusting. ALL THE TIME 2. WHAT? furniture fits in this? 3. Personal art selections would be superfluous. 4.Polishing ALL THE TIME. 5. Cultural appropriation. 6. Too idiosyncratic for general use, such as anyone other than creator. 7. Who would visit you? Only other people with too much time and money on their hands?

    No, I would not live there, it's over done. By overdone, I mean that it would be a constant overstimulation of the senses with no relief or respite available. I absolutely cannot see this as ever being beneficial to the human psyche, the overstimulation of it all would leave you in a constant state of psychological chaos.

    No accounting for taste. Too big, too busy, too lavish. Leave it to the 1% to steal a poor man's humble cob house concept and give it the Busby Berkeley Hollywood treatment. Van Gogh can run $200 per square foot and these folks plaster the walls with it. There are other houses that cost a fraction of this home that are hundreds of times more beautiful. The "Hobbit House" of Chester County, Pennsylvania, beats this one hands down. It was designed by Archer & Buchanan and built for Vince Donovan to house J R R Tolkien memorabilia.

    Overkill, and they should have used darker granite in the kitchen to contrast the cabinets. Individual elements are beautiful, but they're jumbled all together into an 8,000+ square foot mess - too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. It'll be included in the area's Tour of Homes to be sure, and maybe viewers will be able to take away elements to incorporate into their homes somewhere. I just hope whoever lives there is happy...

    Costs $7.6 million is very different from worth $7.6 million. That said, hey, when you got that kind of money, have at it. I'm sure the owner loves it and that's awesome. I think more people should create their passion instead of the same 'ol.

    I hope the owners love it and enjoy it for many decades to come. I can't see them ever recouping their investment, but that money may not matter to them. I think they needed someone to help them with their vision, to pull them back in places. Sadly, the glass brick is too much of an anomoly, the blue Van Gogh marble in one part of the bathroom needed to also surround the tub. They haven't left any space to dream, to breathe.

    Some cool elements, for sure, but it does seem a bit disjointed. For instance the kitchen - I think they chose the wrong cabinets. Should be a richer color and probably a different style too. It looks like they got to the kitchen and said "Ok, I'm tired of being creative" and just stuck that piece of manzanita (or whatever type of wood it is) in the corner of the island. :/

    Aspects I love (windows and that inner door), but the "flowing" floor, not so much. And all those branches inside are nice, but the first thing I thought was I'd have to dust them! And I don't understand the "his" and "hers" sinks...in the kitchen? I agree with many that there are just too many moving parts.

I am not denying the craftsmanship that went into the wood details, but it is too much. And I mean Buddha and dragons and Van Gogh granite and wobbly floors... just makes me think about a bad trip on acid. Less is definitely more.

Whoever buys this place - and someone will, Oregon's real estate market is going bananas - is going to gut it and start over.

    No accounting for taste. Too big, too busy, too lavish. Leave it to the 1% to steal a poor man's humble cob house concept and give it the Busby Berkeley Hollywood treatment. Van Gogh can run $200 per square foot and these folks plaster the walls with it. There are other houses that cost a fraction of this home that are hundreds of times more beautiful. The "Hobbit House" of Chester County, Pennsylvania, beats this one hands down. It was designed by Archer & Buchanan and built for Vince Donovan to house J R R Tolkien memorabilia.

    Overkill, and they should have used darker granite in the kitchen to contrast the cabinets. Individual elements are beautiful, but they're jumbled all together into an 8,000+ square foot mess - too many cooks in the kitchen, so to speak. It'll be included in the area's Tour of Homes to be sure, and maybe viewers will be able to take away elements to incorporate into their homes somewhere. I just hope whoever lives there is happy...

    It is a beautiful house and the materials are really nice. The only thing I don't like that much are all those dead trees as decoration. A few would be okay, but there are so many and I think they distract from the design. Just my thoughts

    the house is way to busy to much to view at once-would have a panic attack in walking thru

    This is what Greenberg would call "kitsch". Expensive, but still kitsch.

    I would love to live here. May I? This was made for me and my dragons and long flowing dresses.

    I have anxiety just looking at it. Too much going on to the point it looks like a child designed it. Super ugly house on the inside.

    I love the dragon fireplace. The floors are a bit busy. But overall its a beautiful home with alot of amazing art work in the staircase and floors and marble bathrooms. I would love to live there with all of my dragons.

    I was wondering what kind of furniture would even "fit". You'd probably have to have that custom designed too.

    A bit over the top for my taste but that's just my opinion. What I don't get is the dragons on the fireplace. Why? They have nothing in common with any of the other elements and look a bit childish to me, like something someone would draw in their high school notebooks. Again, just my opinion.

    I Love this House!!! If I had the $6+ million, I would buy it in a second. Amazing house! With a house like this you would need unique furniture. Maybe the artist could make some unique furniture to go along with the theme for each room. I just love it!!!

    Costs $7.6 million is very different from worth $7.6 million. That said, hey, when you got that kind of money, have at it. I'm sure the owner loves it and that's awesome. I think more people should create their passion instead of the same 'ol.

    It's okay as a show piece but I couldn't live there, looks way to "busy" with all that stuff going on, I imagine it would be a nightmare to dust as well :)

    I like it. Though I don't have millions for it. It could be a great vacation house for some billionaire out there. Love each photo of it.

    I hope the owner is willing to sit on this house for the rest of his life. It will never sell for $7.6 million.

    The house is nice, but it over grown with trees. Guess someone forgot to pay the groundskeeper.

    I hope the owners love it and enjoy it for many decades to come. I can't see them ever recouping their investment, but that money may not matter to them. I think they needed someone to help them with their vision, to pull them back in places. Sadly, the glass brick is too much of an anomoly, the blue Van Gogh marble in one part of the bathroom needed to also surround the tub. They haven't left any space to dream, to breathe.

    If you want to live like a hobbit then this is the house for you. But I'm a klutz, I need carpet to prevent all the things I drop from breaking.

    Separately, everything is nice, but altogether there's way too much wood and too many patterns jumbled together.

    I was preparing myself for the same boring sterile "this is so fancy and upscale" rich person bs, but nearly pissed myself when I saw all the wood and granite and the beautiful designs. Now THIS is worth the 7.6 mil price tag.

    Some cool elements, for sure, but it does seem a bit disjointed. For instance the kitchen - I think they chose the wrong cabinets. Should be a richer color and probably a different style too. It looks like they got to the kitchen and said "Ok, I'm tired of being creative" and just stuck that piece of manzanita (or whatever type of wood it is) in the corner of the island. :/

    Aspects I love (windows and that inner door), but the "flowing" floor, not so much. And all those branches inside are nice, but the first thing I thought was I'd have to dust them! And I don't understand the "his" and "hers" sinks...in the kitchen? I agree with many that there are just too many moving parts.
