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.

A magnificent edifice that correctly depicts the saying ;
"Do not judge a book by it's cover"

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