In the hills of Elverson, Pennsylvania, a fantastical dwelling that looks straight out of “The Hobbit” has just been listed for $425,000 — and it’s capturing the attention of house hunters and fantasy enthusiasts alike.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, often compared to the iconic Hobbit homes, features a distinctive ‘Arch-Tech’ design with arched walls and an energy-efficient grass roof.
The unique architecture not only adds charm, but also promises to keep heating and cooling costs in check, according to the listing.
Situated on a 4-acre plot, the property offers scenic views of the surrounding hills, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
“The architecture of this home is one of a kind for this area. The home needs TLC, but the potential is immense,” reads the listing, hinting at the opportunity for a creative transformation.
Upon entry is a wooden spiral staircase, a living room with expansive windows and a kitchen that looks out to the backyard.
The home features arched walls with two bedrooms on the first floor. On the second floor is the family room with a slider door to the upstairs deck.
The property gained widespread attention on social media, amassing nearly 5,000 likes on Facebook.
Fans flooded the comments section with expressions of admiration, likening the residence to a Shire retreat or a “large Hobbit Hole.”
Some even envisioned winter sledding or the charming possibility of goats grazing on the grass roof.
“I’d like to live in the Shire!” One person commented.
“Would be good for sledding in the winter!” Another wrote.
Someone else said they would “love mowing a roof”.
Scott Gullaksen of Keller Williams Realty is handling the listing.
