10 Heavenly Hobbit Holes We’d Like to Call Home
Over the weekend, The Hobbit,
Peter Jackson’s much-anticipated prequel adaptation of the most epic
story about a heroic hole-builder ever written, landed in theaters and
set box office records. According to the world’s communal encyclopedia, most of Tolkien’s humble hobbits lived in “hobbit-holes” or Smials,
traditional underground homes found in hillsides, downs, and banks
identified by charming little round doors and windows. Proof that the
Shire’s simple, bucolic way of life isn’t just fantasy, we’ve rounded up
some of the best real-life hobbit homes on the planet. From underground
earth house estates in Switzerland to a grand tree house in Oregon fit
for Frodo, click through to check out the very best of hobbit havens.
