Living in the Shire

Perhaps I have a secret desire to be a Hobbit, living in the Shire, under a hill. Somehow an underground home seems both appealing and Earth friendly. It would be cool and comfortable inside and look so unassuming from the outside. I’ve already shown you an earthship. Here is an underground home that I just love the look of, an Earth House. What do you think?

I love the way there is a pond nestled in between the houses. I just wonder how they built these and how practical they are in a place with lots of rain. Perhaps I can find out more. I’ll be sure to share when I do.

    I always thought the shire houses in the trilogy were so cute, especially sith the lovely gardens they were sited in. ;-)

    Nope. I can't live underground. My brain just can't encompass it. I gotta have lots and lots and lots of sun. Everywhere.

    Ewe are here, I totally agree on the gardens. The simple life of a Hobbit has a certain appeal. It's too bad other things intrude.

    Ruralmama, I have family members who are with you on having sun. Actually these underground homes look to be really bright inside – too bright for me maybe! I like wood and dark cosiness :-)
