The Hobbit

Peter Jackson constructed an entire town for his fictional Hobbits on a family-owned farm in Waikato, New Zealand. This area is technically private property, but if you send an email ahead of time, the family would gladly bring you out to the secluded patch of their farm and show you the Hobbit holes that were created to film this beautiful movie. Although it is no longer regularly maintained, there were 37 fully constructed Hobbit holes within this 1 acre stretch of land.
