Sandyston, New Jersey — Every square inch of Ricky Boscarino’s house, Luna Parc, tells a story.

“It’s been said that if a house speaks for a person, my house can’t shut up.”

But every masterpiece starts with inspiration.

In 1989, at the age of 28, a New Jersey artist discovered a dilapidated hunting cabin in the woods of Northern New Jersey. He immediately knew it would become his dream home.

“As soon as I laid eyes on this dilapidated cabin, I knew I’d spend the rest of my life here.”

Ever since stumbling upon the Sandyston, New Jersey property years ago, he has tirelessly transformed it into a masterpiece. Ricky recalls spending his first night clearing the inside of the cabin. Over time, his envisioned haven came to life. Luna Parc is a vibrant testament to his years of dedication, creativity, and sheer passion, turning a modest shack into one of the most uniquely artistic homes you’ll ever encounter. Utilizing his skill set and global adventures, he constructed the home piece by piece, level by level.

He explains, “I travel widely, visiting around 40 countries. I collect items, ship them back, and incorporate them into my creations. Each piece is curated with care, and the house is periodically open to visitors. Though public access is limited, it’s an excellent destination for school trips, and we offer mentoring and career guidance for aspiring young artists.”

Ricky calculates how much work he’s put into the surreal art project/home rebuilding project of his. He estimates he puts in 8 hours a day while he’s present. The rest of the time he’s attending art galleries or traveling the world. He says he’s worked on the house for 56,000 hours since his first night in the hunting shack. Inside are art projects, sculptures, mosaic tiles and collectibles from the world and his own imagination.

He comes from a long line of artists and laborers. Many men and women in his family were artisans, carpenters, fine woodworkers, seamstresses, masons and avant-garde thinkers. He tries to honor their legacy.

“So, for me, growing up in a family of people who did all kinds of media, I’ve always had an interest in everything. Now, I made my living for years, making jewelry. And my jewelry business, is actually what allowed me to build and continue to build. But I also, taught myself how to do mosaic and concrete sculpting and stained-glass work and all of those.”

Outside, the house looks like a surreal, psychedelic fairy tale of color, installations, wind chimes, stained glass windows. Inside the house, there are 11 levels, 15 rooms including a ballroom, a beautiful tiled and one of the most talked-about rooms in the house, his beautiful tile, stone and mosaic walk-in shower and bathroom.

He says he sponsors interns, young artists and students that are interested in the evolution of what creativity and a life-long passion can do with the right kind of motivation.
Ricky’s project is never ending, and he’s set up a non-profit to maintain the house as a tribute to his life’s work after he’s gone.

“I’ve had a lot of great mentors and influences in my life. And really, that’s what you see here. It’s all these different ideas and concepts that somehow, they roll around in my head, I ruminate, and here there are!”

Luna Parc is open to visitors by appointment only! Contact Ricky on his website for more information at
