With the premiere of “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” this weekend, Bilbo Baggins will return to the big screen on his epic journey through Middle-Earth. Although he may not make it back to the Shire in this movie, memories of his fictional home in a hill remain. Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous novel was filmed in New Zealand, but that doesn’t mean the Shire can’t exist in your neighborhood. Here’s a look at the makings of a hobbit home, based on current for-sale listings around the U.S.

MAKINGS OF A HOBBIT HOME:

• Home in a Hill

• From the Far Downs in the west to the Brandywine Bridge in the east, the Shire is described by Tolkien as an idyllic place filled with rolling green hills, fruitful land and hobbits living a simple life. This Telluride, Colo. home echoes Tolkien’s description with an arched footbridge surrounded by a scenic landscape. Tucked away in the San Juan Mountains, this property is currently on the market for $5.65 million.
