Totally agreed. Maybe a more feasible--for me, at least--version would be a boulder that I build a shed over.
I would say, though, that despite the fact that it's one of my cleaner fantasies as well, it's still more gratuitous and outlandish that most of the rest; that fourgy with Cleopatra, Lucy Liu, and the student teacher from my English class in the 8th grade beats it out.

Pretty f'n sweet, but major point deduction for not emphasizing the "20' tall" rock ledge that half of the house is built on. Look at the model. From the looks of it, there is a personl playground covered in dirt and moss that forms the foundation for half of this house. ill gnar!

in pic 6 of 9, the "wall" in the model doesn't translate too well to real life. looks like there is tons of dirt/hill to remove--literally.
