Want to live like Frodo, minus the hairy feet? You can have your own home worthy of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit if you have some extra time on your hands. Experience with construction is probably a plus, but hobbits don’t really need that much to live a happy life!

Are you looking to move somewhere with a lot less space and inspiration from Middle Earth?

Green Magic Homes created 400-square foot, energy efficient, and eco-friendly hobbit homes. These homes are apparently so easy to construct, virtually anyone can build one in just about three days.

The homes are composed of prefabricated vaulted panels manufactured with composite laminate materials and are confined by walls with reinforced soil. These are easy to put together with perforated flaps that can be screwed and sealed the components together. The materials can be fitted to any topography and can be personalized to any individual.

People can start small by buying panels and expand when they want to. According to Green Magic Homes, the hobbit houses can be assembled by just three people in three days time. No heavy lifting and tricky equipment are required for the assembly of these homes. Composite ducts, electrical wiring, and water pipes, as well as mechanical ventilation ducts, can be added to the shell at any point.

The technology of these homes highly focuses on earth construction and stabilization. Green Magic Homes moto is “a new way to live with nature” – and can we disagree with that sentiment?

If you don’t need an entire hobbit house, you can alternately build a hobbit hole in your backyard. You can also take inspiration from this beautiful wood hobbit treehouse if you have extra space in your backyard.

But if you have no interest in building anything at all, you can always check Airbnb to see if this hobbit home in Washington has any availability. Sleep like a hobbit for a week!
