This Company Builds Fantastic Playhouses That Can Cost Up to $400,000

Most people can only dream of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on their dream home, but some are paying the same amounts, if not more, on intricate, fully-furnished playhouses for their kids.

Charmed Playhouses, a family business based in Letherbridge, Canada, claims to build the world’s most fantastic, luxurious and quality playhouses, and looking at some of their creation, we’re inclined to agree. But before you start dreaming about your very own backyard fantasy playhouse, you should know that some of these can cost an arm and a leg. Even though prices start at a respectable $3,500 for a basic playhouse, if you’re looking for something special, the bill can easily go into the tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“We’re currently working on one playhouse that will cost upwards of $400,000,” owner Tyson Leavitt told INSIDER back in 2019. “Many of them range from $100,000 to $300,000.”

Leavitt, who worked in landscaping for nine years before founding Charmed Playhouses, decided go ahead with his “stupid idea” to build luxury over-the-top treehouses and playhouses for children after noticing that many of his clients’ backyards were enormous, but featured little to no amenities for children. Some had a rickety swing set, but not much else, so he decided he could do much better. And he was right.

After building a playhouse for his three children, a client asked Leavitt if he could build a Rapunzel-inspired one for his kids. Even though he had never built stylized playhouses before, he decided to do it, and it turned out so good he ended up entering it in a home-and-garden show.

“A lot of times clients come to us. They just tell us what they like. We take their ideas, we combine them and they morph into something beautiful by the time we’re done,” Tyson told.
