Hobbit home village!
I am looking into building a Hobbit Home Village for over night rentals. Advice, I’ve never set out to do anything like this! Will banks loan on it. I’m looking at 57 acres that will have to be cleared and everything. Plus i want to be off the grid. Solar powered, well water and septic system. Any advice would help.

@Crystal Shepherd - following this thread and excited about your plan! I built a campground with 10 hobbit huts and 3 hobbit houses. (This is without a bank loan as the location is in the Philippines). Getting started was difficult and costly - clearing and bulldozing access road to water sourcing and electricity hook-ups, etc. We tried lamp in huts and no internet but people wanted modern amenities.
Regarding the use of the word "hobbit" - this would not be the first time that it's being used. I even emailed them (NZ people) to connect and celebrate with them the International Hobbit Day but never heard from them. Maybe because my operation is just so small that they didn't even bother. :) Hope you will share with us your progress. Thank you.
Go for it! It's totally worth it.
