Lakeside "Hobbit home" in Northern Minnesota lists for $189,000

Dream of living in Middle Earth? This lakeside Hobbit-esque home in northern Minnesota is now on the market for $189,000.

Why we love it: It might not be built into a hill like the traditional houses in the "Lord of the Rings" series, but the unique curvature and the round doors and windows make this northern retreat unlike your typical Minnesota cabin.

• It sits on a 4.7-acre lot that includes 200 feet of private lakeshore and a cedar sauna built to match the house.

Layout: The 468-square-foot cabin in Pine Lake Township was built in 2023 and has two bedrooms and one bathroom.

• Exterior features include a deck, dock, the sauna, and lake and forest views.
