Sadly, the lady who was building her dream hobbit house right on Lake Michigan in Rapid City, Michigan, died suddenly and the house needs a buyer who will finish it. She spared no expense using the finest materials and the home is for sale for $5M. 3bds, 3.5ba. Take a look.
This is how it's supposed to look finished- stone facade, round door, elliptical windows and copper edging to make the roof stand out.
Look at the shapes on the back, facing the lake.
The rolls of copper are already here for the roof and waiting to be installed.
Look at the swoops in the roof.
Hope a new owner comes along and finishes it.
Look at how beautifully the interior architectural features curve.
Not liking the rail, maybe it's just temporary.
Closeup of the rounded front entrance.
I bet this home will be worth a lot when it's done. It's going to be unique and right on the lake.
Nice big patio right on the beach. The property measures .75 acre.

In a hole in the ground...
There will be three original copies of this in the Black Friday art drop.

Anyone interested in a Hobbit fixer-upper? Its roof has turned to hay, so the shire is in dire need of some sod. It has quite an oversized garage, though, doesn't it? (The 3rd bay is for an RV.) The 1988 hobbit house in Elverson, Pennsylvania has 3bds, 2ba, $450K.
This is nice, I like the curving stairs, and I'm a sucker for old knotty pine.
It actually looks like a normal house inside, but you can "shire it up." The living room is pretty big and gets lots of natural light.
Open dining area and kitchen. The carpeting has to go, though. Double sliders to the outdoors and some closets, plus knotty pine paneling complete the space.
The kitchen's dated and has the cheap laminate cabinets, but they don't looked chipped or anything. The tile floor is in good shape, too, and the appliances look new. Check.
Let me just show you my idea about how you can "shire it up." It's one of my favorite homes. This is the kitchen in Terri Windling's former home called "Weaver's Cottage," and if this isn't hobbit decor, I don't know what is. Isn't this cool?
And, this is the living room of Weaver's Cottage. Can you picture this home looking like it? If you'd like to see more, here's the link: https://www.terriwindling.com/blog/houses/page/4/
Bedroom #1 is off the the dining room.
This bath has typically retro tile. I've taken off the shower doors in one house I lived in, they're easily removed.
The bedrooms are pretty much the same. Blank canvases.
The upstairs bath has more hobbit-y cabinetry, but I don't know what happened to the one on the right.
This one has nicer tile.
It's nice up here. They working on that structure, and it looks like it may be for a wood burning stove.
There are sliders to a terrace, too. This is a nice space.
There's an RV in the garage. I don't know if it conveys or what the story is.
The house is on a 4 acre lot.
Seems to be a nice area. I don't know how this works in the winter, but there's no paved driveway to this home.
