A unique property in Bullsbrook, Western Australia, known as Earth Castle, has been listed for sale. The six-bedroom home is built into the foot of a hill, giving it the appearance of a dwelling from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth.
Set across nearly 25 hectares of rolling hills, the home is partially below ground level and opens onto a man-made lake. A grassy knoll sits above the roof, and mounds of earth between bedrooms help the home blend into the landscape.
The design also provides natural insulation, maintaining an even year-round temperature. The listing describes the property not merely as a home, but as a kingdom unto itself.
