Where I live, most of my neighbors are at the Puerto Rican Riviera. Alas for us, we can only dream about where we would like to be, right now. I fantasize about retiring to my hobbit home.
Hobbit houses are my “there and back again” retreat to my Welsh homeland. I’ll be honest, when COVID hit, it was 50/50 I would just run away, and earn a wage writing curriculum from my hobbit home.
What’s a hobbit home? Here are some references:
it’s all about the glamping!
Here’s another list:

I learned about The Longbarn Bar afk,
A zero-carbon activity.
from someone whose son i used to tutor.
On-site Activities
lower the need for dirty fuel,
reducing carbon footprint.
I would like to reside in the Aerona eco-cabin. This cabin has eco-friendly designs and functions such as underfloor heating powered by a wind turbine and solar panels, and the use of sheep’s wool to insulate the walls.
a hobbit home I found interesting was the green magic homes, their building efficiency reduces buildIng time down by 60% compared to regular construction. their two layer waterproofing method helps with prolonging the lifetime of these buildings. in the three circles this helps with keeping consumption low and keeps it sustainable.

I found the school bus that was turned into a house very interesting. They cut back on the use of carbon created by the bus and turned it into a home. This also saves in space as well as the cost of making a full on house. These all contribute to lower green house emissions. https://www.thespruce.com/school-bus-tiny-homes-4126548

i was looking at Eco cabins and they are really great because they have a wind turbine on the farm that heats the floor and the room when it gets cold. The gas that is being produced in this home is carbon dioxide from the wood burning in the fireplace and propane from the oven and gas hob. the effect that this has on the environment is very little because the house is mostly made of natural materials like wool and timber but the gas that is emitted does harm the environment but its way less than the cars that are drivinground and the buildings and factories that are in cities.

Green Magic Homes is a collection of modular homes that are built to reduce the amount of materials, and being locally sourced, helps with transportation by lowering the amount of dirty fuel used, and allowing plants and other foliage to grow over the home, reducing the carbon footprint.

It doesn’t depend on any infrastructure services.
“These homes generate their own electricity, regulate temperature, and even provide water and food.” Also his house is made out of recycled materials.
One con is that in a cold place you will have to adapt yourself to the weather.
I liked this one because how it looks. Seems like an interesting design to me.

diego diaz https://www.thecoolist.com/hobbit-homes/ #7the dune house.
it counts as two homes in one because of the shape its in. Measuring 750-square-feet each.
its already in a way underground so it wont burn much fossil fuels
the temp might be a bit more fresh sue to the sun not hitting it alot
i learned about The hobbit house it uses solar panels for electricity needs. This is important and contributes to the 3 circles as it doesn’t burn fossil fuels and damages the environment.
The home I found was in the inhabitat section. The home is called Columbia Gorge Airbnb. It is the first solar powered hobbit home. It is located near acres of land and lots of sunlight. Their are hills and green views. The climate is warm.
While researching hobbit homes i came across The Shrine of Montana. with the open space available you have plenty of activities to do. this house is small which results in less carbon being produced when constructing this house or others similar to this

A hobbit home I like is the Washington Hobbit home. This home is completely off gird. Powered by solar panels, the hobbit home also uses water from a nearby water tower and has a Greywater system that irrigates the grass at the home.

The Earth House Estate Leenstra’s caught my attention. This tiny home is designed with eco friendly material which lowers oil and gas to be produced. In addition it is designed with modern convenience help prevent fires. (number 6 in https://www.thecoolist.com/hobbit-homes/)
An image of a hobbit home I found is, https://lammas.org.uk/gallery/gallery-2/plot-7-jpg/ , it connects to the 3 circles because the residents of that place use natural or recycled materials and they use combinations of hydro power, solar power and wind turbines to save energy.
I learned about the Casa Orgánica which seemed interesting that is located near Mexico City. From the outside we only see grass, shrubs, trees and flowers, which produce oxygen, reject pollution and filter dust and carbon dioxide. Inside the house there is a temperature of 64-71 Fahrenheit and a humidity of 40 to 60% throughout the year, therefore, it is hot in winter and cool in summer. The earth and the sun work together to maintain a stable temperature inside the house, where the earth shelters while the sun shines and warms, helping to prevent respiratory diseases and disorders.

On site Activities:
– Solar panels
– Compost toilet
– Fridge cooled by air coming underground through foundation
This lowers the need for dirty fuel and production of co2

I would like to visit the Icelandic Turf Houses, Iceland is a fairly cold place so the grassy roofs save costs on insulation all while being more eco-friendly, This keeps the house warm and sustainable. https://www.treehugger.com/icelandic-turf-houses-old-school-green-viking-twist-4859199

The Lammas ecovillage was an interesting area. Its residents use hydro and solar power, and turbines.Most of its land is used for growing food which was transformed from depleted pasture to diverse ecologies.
https://lammas.org.uk/en/ecovillage/
A hobbit home I found nice was The Undercroft Hobbit House because there will be wood around the area and you can make a fire, since the house will be covered in snow and something extreme would-be blizzards or avalanche.
Santa Fe Hobbit House. The structure fits perfectly into a New Mexico landscape and helps minimize the usage and need for air conditioning for the area which helps reduce the amount of electricity usage
A hobbit home I found interesting was the villa vals, secluded and the terrace is wind protected. There is a terrace which has a fountain that is fed all year from the house’s own spring and it is clean drinkable water.
The Shire of Montana crafted by Steve and Christine Michaels, the Montana-based couple went above and beyond to make this mini Shire feel as fanciful as possible .stays a constant 55 degrees because it’s entirely underground. The entire Shire overlooks their scenic Whitepine Ranch which boasts an old fashioned, red barn built in 1918 and a pond that brings in a myriad of waterfowl.

The place I would like to reside in is one of the earthships. They use solar panels, this relates to the first circle because it doesn’t use fossil fuel. Also it has easy access to natural resources.
the houses from the site https://www.thecoolist.com/hobbit-homes/ relates to the tree circles because it is not destroying the land that badly compared to a fully made building. it was built into the earth, and the homes are don’t use energy during the night or day
Eco-cabins are good because they are all about being eco-friendly like using green electricity, being built from natural materials, and being overall safe to the environment.

I learned about a hobbit home in a Slovenian shire. This home was created using the building principles of the era, including natural materials such as wood, loam, straw and a lush layer of native grass that completely covers the handmade structure. They are not using any extra materials just the ones they’re provided with. They are complete with homes made out of wood, clay and additional materials found in nature. They also have mirrored tube lamps in the curved ceiling which allow natural light to filter into the living area. So everything is green and complete de with resources given by nature.

The house that caught my eye is the candy colored tiny home in this website.
The house is on a trailer, it made of wood and it has solar panels. This tiny home has almost a zero carbon footprint.
The slovenian hobbit homes are made from locally sourced natural materials such as loam, wood and straw. With an outer covering of lush, native grass.

When I look at this hobbit home, I see Cortés, looking at how wonderous Mexico was before his kind set foot.
again, i have to make my instructions clearer: the link should refer to an actual hobbit home, not a list.

This hobbit home represents the future of eco friendly housing. Some parts of the house were recycled pieces of panels and Laminated materials.They also require 50 to 70 percent less energy than a conventional home
I really like the green hobbit homes as it is made from renewable resources and it takes only 3 days to build. It uses composite laminate materials and then coved by walls in reinforced soil. They are designed to work with the structure of the earth to prevent carbon emissions

It is solar powered, meaning that the sun lights up the house.
