Hobbit House by Simon Dale

I don't think you have to be a fan of The Lord of the Rings to appreciate this house. It was designed and constructed by Simon Dale and his father in law. From start to finish, the house took between 1000-1500 man hours and he only spent around $5000.00!! Simon and his family wanted to be close to nature and that they are. The house is literally in the side of a hill and uses as many natural materials as possible (Simon offers plans for the house through his website). Who wouldn't want a little Hobbit Hut? One house to rule them all!
