[A real life Shire, right in Oregon](http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1158114405236120.xml&coll=7&ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

> The houses -- going for $550,000 to $850,000 -- will feature gabled roofs with faux-straw thatch made from thin strands of PVC that promotional literature says "is essentially windproof, rainproof, fireproof and guaranteed not to discolor."

> Meyers has taken the liberty of renaming an irrigation canal next to The Shire as Brandywine Brook. He's happy to show off two Hobbit holes otherwise known as storage sheds.

> "If you look inside there right now," said Meyer, pointing to one, "you'll find a lawn mower."

> When built out at 6.5-acres, The Shire will have 15 cottages and 16 town houses encircling a central gathering place called the sanctuary. The first properties will go on sale this winter.
