Stone House of a Hobbit


In Portugal, not far from Fafe town, there is an amazing stone house, built in 1973. The house is built between two huge stones, which play the role of walls. The unique design of the house with its unsymmetrical windows, stones fleeced with moss, tiled roof and even stone barn very soon became a popular place of interest for tourists, that's why the owners had to move to another place and now the house is abandoned.

The stone barn.
The windows are equipped with treillages and panzer glass.
A fragment of the interior.
Today, with these windmachines, the house doesn't look so lonely in the hills.

  1. Stone houses are perfect if you want a peaceful getaway. If you want a break from the hectic city life, living in stone houses like those in the photos can truly give you total relaxation. =)
