This Maine Retreat Sits on 15 Acres of Forest With Tree Houses and Hobbit-style Cabins

"Enter, Littlefield Retreat in Springvale, Maine. The Purposely Lost property, set on 15 acres of pristine forest alongside a trout pond, has five standalone homes that are unlike anything you've ever seen. There are two hobbit homes built into the hillside, complete with round, Lord of the Rings-esque doorways and a few perks we're pretty sure Frodo and his friends had to do without-including a private hot tub, a huge stone patio with a fire pit, and high-end custom finishes."

"In the trees towering above the hobbit homes are three custom tree houses built on stilts that are surrounded by greenery. Each home is tucked along the edge of Littlefield Pond and outfitted with a private dock, canoe, and outdoor hot tub. "Everyone needs a chance to power down the screens and break away from the daily demands of our personal and professional lives," Bryce Avallone, a founder of Purposely Lost, told Travel + Leisure."

Littlefield Retreat sits on 15 acres of forest beside a trout pond and comprises five standalone tiny homes: two hobbit homes built into the hillside and three custom tree houses on stilts. Each dwelling contains two bedrooms, a bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, a private hot tub, and a private dock with a canoe. Unique design details include rounded hobbit-style mantels, dragonfly drawer pulls, a floating staircase, and grotto hot tubs. Wind and solar energy power the property, making it Maine's first and only carbon-neutral tree house and hobbit home retreat.
