Hobbit Homes for Sale. Cheap!

by on Aug 20, 2008

Ron Meyers might be a bigger Tolkien fan that Peter Jackson. Mr. Meyers built his own Shire in the form of a housing development and not in New Zealand but Bend, Oregon. Only one home, complete with its own hobbit hole, has been sold in the Shire-themed neighborhood–for $650,000 and to one of the designers of the project–since the community broke ground in 2006. Now facing default, Mr. Meyers expects the bank to whom ownership has reverted will discount heavily. A hobbit house of your very own for cheap? Precious. Via.
