Semi-Permanent Tents

An alternative to a traditional home.

"Glen Lajeski spied a newspaper ad listing acreage for sale. Intrigued, the Disney executive asked his host if they could look at the land on their way to the airport. Lajeski’s friend hesitated. “I know when you see this property,” he cautioned, “it’s going to change your life.”

"Strolling the 160-acre parcel the following day, Lajeski found babbling brooks and Technicolor hillsides flush with wildflowers. Gauzy strands of moss hung from the oak trees overhead, while verdant vineyards sprawled across the valley below."

So he built a compound of 3 buildings for his family and occasional guests.

This is a TENT. The walls are canvas. This , to me, is brilliant.

What a fabulous idea!

First you can find a beautiful piece of property and if you can not afford to build a home now, or can't wait to enjoy the property....build one of these.
Or one of these......
This is another tent style called a Resort/Mughal Tent. You can see (at the sources I have provided below) all the styles and price ranges that they come in.

In Case You Are Curious About Mughal Tents.....

"The Mughal Emperor Akbar, is said to have lavishly patronized art during his era, his style was a mixture of Persian and Indian motifs, which gets reflected in the magnificent Tents, Carpets, Furniture, captured by the Ottoman army in the seventeenth century. The Sultan had his court in a huge encampment of hundreds, even thousands of Tents, at the center of which was the 'Tented Palace' called the 'Imperial Tent Complex'. The imperial tents were pavilions, walled in by a symbolic rampart of cloth and recognized by their size and the splendor of their decoration, both inside and out. Around the royal enclosure were grouped other imposing Tents of diminishing size belonging to high-ranking officers and officials. Within the royal enclosure is a great variety of Tents of differing size and function, including a Kitchen Tent, Dining Tent, Women's Tent, Bath Tents, Toilet Tents and Stable Tents."
These sites have all kinds of fabulous Indian Decor as well.
