Another option, get some termites and train them to carefully eat each post away at the same consistent rate, gently lowering the fort to the ground. I admit this would be rather slow, but I think it would be faster than earnie's idea of 360 chainsaw cuts.
The point of your rather creative termite idea and my chainsaw idea was to avoid dropping any part of the house more than a slight amount at a time. "My chainsaw idea" was just a refinement of other ideas and was focused on guaranteeing that the whole thing didn't fall apart. After all, just how much engineering does ANY house get, that would allow it to be dropped one or two corners at a time? Your house? Probably not. A treehouse? Hell, no!
