A nestable ladder tree stand assembly is shown that may be used for hunting from an elevated position. The ladder tree stand includes a platform that may support a hunter and may be attached to the elevated position. First and second ladder segments are also included, with one of the ladder segments being connectable to the platform. Each ladder segment includes two support pillars that have top ends spaced apart at a first distance and that have bottom ends spaced apart at a second distance that is different from the first distance. At least one horizontal support beam extends between the support pillars. The first distance of a second ladder segment is substantially equal to the second distance of a first ladder segment, and the bottom ends of the support pillars of the first ladder segment are connectable to the top ends of the support pillars of the second ladder segment.
