You can own this luxury hobbit home for just a million bucks

"Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat."

Comfort indeed is what can be found at Underhill, a luxury home currently for sale in the UK. Although the property listing doesn't make any direct references to JRR Tolkien's classic novels, the similarity to Bag End, the luxurious appointments and its name -- Gandalf gave Frodo the pseudonym Mr Underhill in "The Fellowship of the Ring" -- all scream Middle-earth, and Hobbiton.

As listed by WM Sykes & Son, the four-bedroom home in the village of Holme in Cambridgeshire sits on just under an acre of land. Features include a swimming pool, a rose garden, a music room and a cave room with a peat fire.

The interiors are a little more modern than those of Bag End, but probably a little more convenient. The owners are accepting offers in the region of £700,000 (around $918,000). You can view the rest of the images on the listing page.
