Every Tolkien fan has desired, at least once in his life, to live in Middle-earth. Well, now it’s possible!
Business Insider has selected 12 houses that could be straight out of The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit. “They range from sprawling landscapes and castles to cottages that could have been plucked from The Shire.”
Smaug’s Cave
This beautiful house has a carved redwood Dragon staircase, that remindes us Smaug the Dragon of The Hobbit, a stone fireplace, stained glass, and guest cottages.
