floor in addition to the underwater experience other unique state-of-the-art features include high-tech lighting and climate control even in outdoor areas being a perfect combination of both engineering and imagination you can bet that the price tag for one of these homes is astonishingly high we're not sure exactly how much it is as prices are only available upon request though that in itself tells you that these living quarters are only for the high rollers now for something even bigger and probably even more expensive this floating house from miami-based company arkup is more like a floating mansion current designs offer a sizeable 4 350 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms arkup are geared towards an avant-garde life on water their livable yachts are self-sufficient sustainable and environmentally friendly plus they're available to own right now the only catch is you have to be a millionaire to own one as a fully furnished and decorated livable yacht is currently priced at five and a half million dollars still if you can afford it then it could be a fantastic investment with sea levels rising along with city populations living on the water could become a lot more common these floating homes have hydraulic legs which when deployed make them just as sturdy as structures on land moreover they've been built to withstand extreme weather conditions including strong currents and hurricanes up to 155 miles per hour living off the grid is made easy thanks to self-contained solar-powered systems and you can enjoy 270 degree panoramic views and plenty of sunshine of course you can also change the view and move to a more agreeable climate whenever you wish sounds tempting right if you're looking for something a bit

houseboat cottage also comes with its own 12 foot by 16 foot front porch and a 10 foot by 16 foot covered rear porch that provides access to the roof deck speaking of which the roof deck is the perfect place for hosting a get-together in the summer it comes complete with a diving board hot tub rooftop bar and even your very own slide from houseboats to a rustic boathouse now it's a subtle difference i know but this custom boathouse is more of a permanent fixture than the others on this list it's still technically a home on the water though and you can get around on any of the boats you own which can be stored outside under the decking or in your very own boat garage this place is gorgeous and an ideal retreat holiday home or place to settle down it's surrounded by a majestic natural beauty and the interior is just as much a breath of fresh air with its high ceilings and open living spaces everything about this design oozes comfort elegance and serenity although you can't imagine
