A unique 400-acre ranch in B.C.'s Okanagan is on the market for $2.5 million, offering a rare mix of natural beauty and income potential. One of its standout features is a hobbit-hole-inspired house, called the Second Breakfast Hideaway, which has become one of Canada's most sought-after Airbnbs.
Located in Bridesville, the property offers a serene escape with 360-degree mountain views, making it an ideal retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. Listing agent Ray Porter highlights that the property not only provides a peaceful getaway but also a steady income stream through its popular short-term rental.

The "earth home" on the property was originally named after a well-known J.R.R. Tolkien creation but was renamed in 2021 following a request from Warner Bros. Entertainment to stop using trademarked terms. Despite the change, the rental continues to attract Lord of the Rings fans who appreciate the immersive experience it offers, even without Wi-Fi or TV. Located 30 minutes from Osoyoos and 20 minutes from Rock Creek, guests have limited access to modern conveniences, which only adds to the charm for those seeking a digital detox. A one-night stay costs over $600, with only a few available dates remaining through September.

The hobbit-inspired Airbnb isn’t the only dwelling on the property. There’s also a three-bedroom, two-bathroom log home that serves as the main residence, along with a cabin that can be used as a hunting lodge or ski chalet.

The combination of unique accommodations and stunning natural surroundings makes this property a standout opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle change.
