Cue the Lord of the Rings soundtrack! This unique cottage for sale looks like it could be a cozy Hobbit-hole, but you don't have to travel to The Shire to see it.

The geodesic dome is located in Kearny, Ontario, and while it doesn't have views of Middle-earth, it does gaze out over the water. The cottage is on the market for $799,000, and if you're looking for an out-of-the-ordinary vacation spot, check this place out.

The home may have Hobbit vibes, but it is actually human-sized and comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The rounded interior features a spacious kitchen and living room with a fireplace where you can entertain friends or relax on a rainy day.

There are two fridges and two dishwashers in total, so you don't have to worry about running out of food during your vacay.

During sunny days, you can head down to the water and relax on the dock or splash in the lake. A staircase will take you from the cottage though the trees to the swimming area. There's also a nearby sandbar at Grass Lake Beach where you can soak up some more sun.

The cottage has an elevated deck which takes you right into the trees and looks over the water. It's a dreamy place to enjoy a cup of coffee or sit back with a book.
