Alas I don't and its not even a real house! It's actually part of a Hobbiton movie set that was created for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
It is built on the Alexander farm in Matamata, NZ in the year 1999 and a great deal of hard work, capital, time (almost 10 months) and mindblowing imagination went into converting this traditional sheep and beef farm into director Peter Jackson's vision of the Hobbiton Town. Once the filming was over, the set was not maintained by the farm owners, their grazing cattle took over and it became a total mess. However when Peter Jackson returned to film the prequel to the movie, his company entered into a joint venture arrangement with the owners of the Alexander farm to allow movie fans to visit the newly constructed film set of The Hobbit :) Thanks to this initiative, public is open to this set property and can experience the magic of this enchanting place!!!
I am not even a 'LoTR' fan but this place is high on my list of 'places to see'. I can even imagine little dwarfs , pixies and tiny fairies coming alive in the night and living their secret life while we sleep :) WOW!
