For the discerning millionaire who wants a gorgeous coastal vacation getaway (and has no fear of heights), the Australian real estate firm Modscape has created a dream home.

Spotted by Inhabitat, the aptly named Cliff House quite literally hangs off a cliff face the same way a barnacle hangs off a ship’s hull.

The design uses engineered steel pins that drive into the rock, thereby keeping the home attached to the cliff.

“The design is a theoretical response to clients who have approached us to explore design options for extreme parcels of coastal land in Australia, Modscape says on its website.

Looking out over the ocean, the five-story home has three bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, and gigantic floor-to-ceiling windows that display a breathtaking (or vertigo-inducing) view of the horizon.

The top story has a patio and two-car garage, and there’s even an open-air deck area in the bottom with a Jacuzzi and barbecue. All the levels are connected by stairs and an elevator.

And though the building looks unsafe, former president of the Royal Institute of British Architects Maxwell Hutchinson assured BBC News that there was no reason why the design wouldn’t be structurally sound.

Nothing scary about it. Op, water dey fear you?

Good thinking..

Nope! Nope! Nope!

I dont risk my life for free

Na who go dey live here?

This is crazy!

I wouldn't live there, not even for free.

Khaynet: I dont risk my life for free

buying this house would cost you million of dollars so u not risking ur Life for free.

Nice innovation, The parking space is the problem though. The car might fall off the cliff when parking. Since house like this are meant for the super rich that parking space should be replaced with an Helicopter landing pad. Like this; I am sure anyone who can afford such a house can afford to rent or buy an helicopter.

One day Mr rich business man will just drive up to the house and see only some "pins" hanging out of the wall. and his house? ...sharing stories with the Titanic

The house is very scary

of course, we're running outa lands

I would not want to be in this house when there is a storm, earthquake, hurricane or tsunami.

I'm definitely interested.
