This isn’t as old as most houses I feature, but I thought everyone would appreciate seeing the uniqueness of this hobbit house. The home was built in 1976. It is located on 3.28 acres in Eliot, Maine. The home features multiple porches, hardwood floors, stone walls, exercise room, art studio, sauna, 4 season sunroom/potting studio, library and secret sleeping porch. This is a riverfront property with a gazebo. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 4,478 square feet. $679,000
