The Hobbit House


Check out this unique little home that transports you back to the shire with Bilbo and company. The adorable blue door and all brick facing is a true work of art. The property is located in Santa Barbara, California and selling for $1.199 million. Don't let the minimal square footage fool you. This unit comes complete with a laundry room. Talk about an easy move!
Open the bright blue door to this tiny home in Montecito, and you half-expect to find a Keebler elf inside baking cookies. Instead, you’d likely find Richard Barrett, an eccentric former gas-company worker who built the home with a borrowed brick-making machine in the 1950s. The little adobe is one of three remaining homes from the Bohemian Mountain Drive Artist Colony, and this is the first time it’s been on the market. There’s a good chance the buyer might tear it down; it’s surrounded by $6 million mansions. But the one-of-a-kind hobbit-sized house — at 510 square feet — is a landmark from another era, tucked between mature trees on a 1-acre lot.
