Diesel Dave writes "from the this ain't your grandma's amphi-mobile dept: Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International, LLC, is now marketing their TerraWind line of combination Motor Coach / Yachts. Thats right, a 42 foot Luxury RV you can take to, or in, the lake! With a not exactly cheap pricetag of $850K+, included is the full rigging of luxury home features: Granite countertops, marble floors, teak cabinetry, tracking satellite dish, and 42" plasma TV. Oh and don't forget the swim deck. If I can get one with an ocean rated hull, machine gun turrets, and SVO conversion, I'll have my own portable Sealand. : ) A (temporary) mirror of the site is here to lessen the / . effect."

They have one of the terra-hydra (linked from this site) here in Santa Barbara. Unfortunatly the person who paid a couple hundred grand for the thing isn't able to get a launching permit from the local harbor.
