Shining Hand Ranch is the name of an 8,881-square-foot property spanning 706-acres in Ashland, Oregon.

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.

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.
A whimsical home that is so detailed it is fit for royalty from your favorite book.

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.
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)

Nothing like a cozy eat-in kitchen for that homey intimate feel.:rolleyes:

Fire and Ice style mosaic dragons on the fireplace and bathroom decked out with blue Van Gogh granite.

Now I wonder, if I could talk one of you into buying this place what the commission would be on $7,600,000? :eek3:

Did I mention the windows look-out onto Mount Ashland, Taowhywee Point, Wagner Butte, Mount Shasta, and Pilot Roc? :borg:

1 1/2 years? That is some slow carving.
At least he didn't have to "carve" the manzanita, it comes that way.

If you can afford the ranch you can afford your own satellite. :lol:

My $49K house my not have nearly the square footage as this one, but at least I can afford stools for my kitchen, a couch for my living room, and soap for my bathtub.

Don't forget nobody lives here, it's a spec house waiting for somebody from Hollywood or Silicon Valley with more money than god.
