A precarious “house” constructed of driftwood and other assorted debris was recently seen in drone footage mysteriously teetering at the foot of a famous and prominent California cliff, just above the cold spray of the Pacific Ocean.
The house — which looks like something out of Swiss Family Robinson — is an impressive, albeit hastily built, multi-story structure that appears to have multiple rooms and walkways, with some sections covered in canvas or other materials, according to the unusual. footage posted on Youtube by aerial photographer @ParallaxEffect.
“We were hiking along the coast of California where we usually see and I saw something odd under a cliff,” the drone operator wrote in the caption, calling it “one of the most unusual human structures I’ve ever seen.”
A single chair blowing in the wind suggests that someone may have lived in the house, or at least whoever built it occasionally visited to relax by the ocean.
However, it’s unclear if the house, which was also captured on camera in November 2022, will survive the strong winds and waves of a Northern California winter.

Youtubers flooded in with comments on the startling sight reported by SFGate on Thursday — with some saying the structure, which sits on the edge of the perilous Devils Slide near Pacifica, has been significantly damaged since the footage was taken.
“This space has been there for years, but it was almost completely destroyed during last year’s winter/rain,” user Dan Sullivan commented below. “This video was either taken before last winter, or the hut was rebuilt months ago.”
Video poster @ParallaxEffect replied that he assumed it would be destroyed. Nor did they suspect that anyone lived there when they filmed it.
“First of all, there is no sign of anyone being present from any of the recordings. Second, the wind and waves in winter will wash this away. It’s probably gone, the image I shot is almost a year old,” he wrote in the comments.

“Third, the resources required to bring all those materials to the site, even driftwood and ocean debris, are not trivial, nor are the skills and effort required to build the structure,” he wrote. “I concluded, and still do unless shown otherwise, that this was done as a project by someone, or a group, during the outbreak.”
The Post has reached out to @ParallaxEffect for more information.

Tamas Holczer commented that the structure in the video is actually the second iteration of the house built by an artist named Boris.

Holczer said he had met Boris several years ago and the artist created the house as an “escape” to paint whales.
Sullivan shared a similar encounter, writing that “A trail doctor told me that some ‘crazy Russian hermits’ built it and lived there and outside.”
He wrote that he saw the man walking over the guardrail with a bunch of supplies and watched him make the 30-minute trip down to the hut — “and that’s probably easier than going up.”
Not far from the mysterious house, a suicidal doctor Dharmesh Patel drove off a 250-foot cliff with his wife and two children in the car in January.
All four miraculously survived.
