The quintessential dream house
I really enjoyed stumbling upon this tumblr page dedicated to a boatload full of pictures from The Hobbit movie, specifically of hobbit houses from the Shire set. The close-up captures are great — all the little construction details are really quite stunning. I only wish… well, that they were real. I know that sounds really dumb, but it pains me to know that it’s probably mostly a bunch of nasty foam we’re seeing, and not actual carpentry, living roofs, and really cool brick work. Oh well…. but the hobbit house pictures are really quite inspiring, nevertheless
Read ahead for more pictures!

Ziggy, The first set houses are still standing form the first movies. Pretty obvious they stripped all the dressing off but the structures have stood up to use.

Why could you not get a group of folks togather to build a village like this- the 1st step is to start
according to the making of the hobbit, the new town IS real. They made the whole thing with stone, wood, etc… just as it looks, then donated it to be a park.
