This stunning ‘Hobbit House’ for sale in Alberta is the start of a great journey

We’re going to paint a quick picture for you. It’s the spring, and you’re working on your journal while smoking a pipe. All of a sudden, an old friend comes to greet you, asking you for some ring you found in a cave.

Sound unlikely? It doesn’t have to be, but first, you need to check out this crazy ‘Hobbit House’ sitting on the outskirts of Calgary. That’s right, Canada has got its very own ‘built into the hills’ property, complete with the grass roof.

Originally built in 1971, the Hobbit House is supposed to offer a quiet and serene getaway for folks who enjoy the simple things. With 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms, the home only has a footprint of 1,036 square feet. One way to save space? Building beds into the walls for guests.

And luckily, whoever built the place didn’t mess with proportions, so the spot looks cozy instead of cramped. Besides, you’ve got 160 acres of pristine land to work with. Build your own Hobbit House resort and give the new tenants nicknames like Merry, Pippin and Rosie Cotton.

All of a sudden, a price tag of $1.4M doesn’t seem so ludicrous. And, you might just find a gold ring or something fishing in a nearby stream. Just be careful that you’re fishing alone if you do find it.
