This looks over size for my ideas. Do You have more “down to earth” plans? Say something like 1400 sq feet.
All of my plans are here: https://earthbagplans.wordpress.com/ Most ere under 1,000 square feet because I specialize in small, ultra low cost sustainable homes.
How much would it cost to build something like bagend but not so big??? Or I guess it would be simpler to answer how much it would cost to build bagend.
We always advise to start small with one simple project — maybe a tool shed, one room cabin, etc. so you can learn the necessary skills with low risk.
It would take a large crew and tons of money to build Bag End as shown in the drawing… That’s just a fantasy plan, not reality.
Why not.. after four years in the Marines .. I filled a couple sand bags in Vietnam.
realistically… I have built conventional house . erected Steel buildings. and ran the crew. worked for the general contractor doing site plan engineering, worked all the reactions for foundations and live dead weights. … I am flipping the farm I live on and will find the land here in Michigan. The barn for my horses and all will be off grid..as I am a 100 % service connected vet ..(PTSD) so why not where can I et the ful plans for Bag End. with elevations of rooms thank you
Not sure if full, detailed plans are available for sale.
If any one is interested I will start and post my solution to structure of “Bag End”.. I can figure bag count eventually.
Sounds good. There’s quite a bit of interest in buildings like this.

Where is the bathroom ???

My husband and I love bag end. The wood working and the house it self. I hope to have a house like that someday.
In the movie, in the right of the entrance hall, from outside, you can see 2 windows, but in this plan you can only see one, belonging to the spare room.
Hobbits love halls!
Halls are rather wasteful and so I try to minimize them.
I had no idea this house was so large and complex. As usual, we always recommend starting with something small like a tool shed or guest house to develop your skills. There’s a learning curve to everything. Also note, vault designs like this will require additional concrete and rebar if you use earthbags.
