You are looking at pictures of a real life hobbit house. It was built in Wales by Simon Dale, his family, and friends and took only 4 months. It was also built from natural materials with maximum regard for the environment which gives them “a unique opportunity to live close to nature.” I think my favorite thing about this house, besides the fact that it’s awesome and would do J.R.R. Tolkien proud, is that it really is dug into a hillside, making this a truly authentic house suitable for The Shire.

And there’s a slideshow!

You can view all of the construction here.
