Hobbit homes are no longer nasty, wet or dirty dwellings; rather, they are the unalloyed delight to live in. This thought proved very appealing when J.R.R Tolkien elucidated that these homes were made for comfort and carried an aura of magnificent beauty. The Underhill hobbit home in Holme Holmfirth, UK is a perfect example of luxury and comfort these earth sheltered homes offer. And, the good news is: you can experience the thrill of living in this luxury home by spending a little over $900,000.
Underhill is a hobbit hole home built by Arthur Quarmby some 40 years back for his family, but now the property is up for sale at Wm Sykes & Son. Spread across an area of 4,000 square feet, the home is roofed with lively green grass. Paved pathway well-accompanied by a lush green lawn ushers you into open hall of the sprawling hobbit hole set beyond the circular sliding door.
A fresh water swimming pool is designed around a central family recreational area with stone arches. The pool receives multiple beams of light from the glassed roof dome above and the big, front sliding windows. There are four bedrooms around the pool for a family and a guest room as well. Underhill has a separate kitchen and a dining area. A discrete music room enables the dwellers to enjoy hobbit home all the more. Stone vaulted cave with a fire-pit facilitates the inhabitants to enjoy the warmth of the fire in winters. Modern-day amenities facilitate contemporary lifestyle simultaneously giving you an experience of the primitive life. The outer landscape consists of an extensive garden area, plus a double garage with workshop, boiler room, and a widespread parking area.
