A hobbit-style underground shelter is attracting attention in Tennessee, United States. For sale for US$750,000, the property reveals itself to be, in fact, a luxury bunker. Built in 2010, the main house has 3000 ft² (280 m²) and is located on a 15-hectare plot.
Advertised by Crye-Leike Elite Realtors, the property is described as a "stylish bunker," with an exterior inspired by the hobbit universe and an innovative interior design. It features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and details planned for maximum comfort: central heating and air conditioning, granite countertops, pantry, stainless steel appliances, laundry room with sink and storage, tankless water heater, and gas stove.
The property also features a guest area equipped with a full bathroom, storage room (currently used as a gym), and parking for four vehicles, with outlets for charging electric cars. The outdoor area invites you to connect with nature.
The orchard offers apples, peaches, pears, raspberries, and blueberries. There is also a lake stocked with catfish, black kingfish, and sea bass, as well as a small boat dock with electrical installation. According to the listing, “You can’t have a fruit orchard without a garden. They [the owners] were very lucky with their zucchini, pumpkins, and cucumbers.”
The region also offers several hiking trails. “Take a horseback ride and listen to the tranquil stream flowing. You might spot the bald eagle or the owl that has made this beautiful property its home,” concludes the real estate agency.
