The house - which sits atop a jujube tree and is connected to the ground by a long wooden staircase - features a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and a lounge complete with a television.
Xiong Yuhu, 63 - of Xingping village, Yaojiang County, Hunan Province - says he was inspired by the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing.
He said: "The Bird's Nest Stadium looks like a bird's nest on the ground. I just thought why not build a real bird's nest in a tree."
However, while Xiong is a fan, his wife Wang Su'an isn't and refuses to enter because she is scared of heights.
