The so-called Vermont Earth Home, designed and built by architect Bob Chappelle, looks like something out of “The Lord of the Rings.” You probably won’t be visited by any hobbits, but the $220,000 home in Marshfield, Vermont, is a retreat back to nature. Specialfinds.com notes that the structure’s design is based on African mud huts. “It isn’t a requirement that the structure is restored but to carry on the architect’s legacy could be a dream project for an engineer, architect, or even an architectural student,” the listing noted.
