- A woodcutter who built his own Hobbit House revealed he has never watched Lord of the Rings - and lives almost off-grid despite being nearly 90.
Great-grandad Stuart Grant, 89, moved into the cottage he bought as a wreck with no roof and no doors in 1984, while he was renovating a house.
But he found it so satisfying doing DIY on the quirky outbuilding which dated back 200 years, that he decided to make it his home.

If I'm half that successful and comfortable at 90, I'll consider my life well lived.
Yes...I agree with you.
Amen!!!
same 💚
I just love his sweet soul. He's such a giving man. His home, his "hobbit house", is a stunning work of art! I have a feeling this lovely home is ever-evolving. A true work of love and his life. Another thing that shows the kindness of this gentle man's heart, is that any money he makes regarding his home is given to those in need. What a kind, warm-hearted, humble man.
Doing pretty well for 90. May he live his days in comfort and joy in the little proper house he made with relish. Slainte.
He has a warm place to sleep with a roof over his head that he made. And he knows how privledged he is. Life goals.
What a sweet, humble, generous man! Why can't more people be like him? I feel like the adorable Hobbit house is merely an afterthought in the video; as this wonderful human being totally steals the show! This is truly the way to live well, to be joyful in caring for your fellow man. I pray that God would give us all a genuinely desire to love people in helpful, practical ways. Just think what the world would be like, if everyone showed a little more kindness, humility, and selflessness, like this man does. What a delightful world that would be!
Such a sweet, generous man. Love the picture of the Queen.
Yikes, why? She's just a another human being.
He's just awesome and so is his cottage!
I love finding joy in the small things most people over look. This video captures that philosophy perfectly
Stunning home! So beautiful and unique. You can just feel the love and peace. Awe inspiring 💗😍😇🥹👏🏼🫶🏼
What a wonderful man with a generous spirit, gives what he makes to charity. It's wonderful to see this and the beautiful house he has created. Makes such a difference to all the ugly stories we hear. God bless him. 🙏🌹🌹
Sweet kind soul, living in the house that labour of his own hands, mind and imagination. And thinking of others at his venerable age. My outmost respects. Absolutely in love with house ❤,wishing a good health .
❤"GIVE IT TO THE RED CROSS " FOR THE CHILDREN. HOW SWEET ! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LIKE YOU "KIND SIR" ! BLESSINGS
It's so cute and pretty! I love it. He's so creative and a skilled craftsman. I'd love to live in a house like that; so cozy and peaceful.
You Rock WoodCutter you should be the world's first Recognized Master WoodCutter!.
90? Unreal, he looks incredible!
What a beautiful soul he has! God bless him! I would love to see this house in person some day. ♥️
What a beautiful legacy of love he's built, one charitable act at a time. I wonder how many people he's helped, as he's journeyed through life, probably far more than even he knows. Love for people, that's his legacy, and eternal inheritance. It's worth ever so much more than his lovely Hobbit house, or anything that his hands have built. I'm not usually an emotional person, but, this man reminds me a LOT of my grandfather. My grandpa was an excellent farmer, and all around handyman. He built his own house, shed, garage, 2 outdoor fireplaces and a man-made pond. He was hardworking and very generous. He'd secretly buy clothes and school supplies for poor children, leaving them on the doorstep. We'd have great fun ringing the doorbell and hiding somewhere. He also grew around 30 times the amount of produce that he needed for his own household. He provided all of our local extended family with vegetables, and distributed the rest to the poor, especially widows, and military families. As I watch this, all I see is my grandpa.
Now there's a ray of light shaped like a man.
Good soul.
So very nicely said.
Cute home and sweet man.
comfy cottage indeed! Thank you for sharing Mr. Woodcutter!
We need more like him
Isn’t he the sweetest thinking of others.

Very impressive, very comfortable indeed.
What a lovely home. /The garden is beautiful too. I love his outlook on life.
we need more people like this guy 💚💚💚
Wonderful creation, and a wonderful man. I wish we could have a tour of the whole inside of the home!
How I would love to live in this beautiful home!!💕
Love this man❤
The bank behind our house would be a perfect place to put the ruins of an old hobbit house ,I have thought about it for a long time but still haven't started it
I'll take it! You have created a beautiful piece of art! I would be proud to live there and further your legacy!!
Absolutely stunning, you can keep your big fancy house in town with the Jonse's for neighbours, this is my dream home, i was almost moved to tears, beautiful, and the garden! Yes, I'd have this life over any.
So awesome!!! Fantastic job well done!👏
What a cute and cozy house! 🥰 I wish he was renting it out on AirBnB. I would definitely stay there.
So inspiring! Thanks! ❤
Wow!! What an inspiration!
cutest thing ever!
Amazing little hobbit home.❤
Although he obviously doesn't care about making money from this, but he would make a fortune if he put this cottage on AirBnB!! So adorable!!
No le falta detalle, chula chula👏🏼👏🏼
That is my dream home!
Wonderful!
Wish I could build something like that.
GOD BLESS HIM!
Το λάτρεψα!!!!! Όλα τα Εύγε!!!!!
I’m glad you met my family
what a freaking amazing guy
Let's get his some Views folks Millions so he can get the bank.
The house is incredible. Definitely his labour of love. My wish should he ever part this earth, that this dwelling be placed on the historical society's care. Provided of course that no living relative is available to inherit the place. I wouldn't want to see this go the way alot of houses have gone across Europe. Squabbles by relatives over possessions, houses in receiverships to banks because relatives refuse the inheritance because of taxes & other costs to the point these properties become derelict, vandalised & just time capsules for urbexers.
Hello Brigitte,
my family and I are doing a roadtrip in Scotland in September and would like to see this very unusual house. Unfortunately I can't find the location of the house anywhere. Can you help me? If so, it would be very nice if you could send me the address.
Kind regards, Jürgen
@@jurgenganz6155 Honestly, I have no idea where this house is located. Might want to talk to a travel agent about that. Or Google for where these homes are. If you have the patience use Google Earth.
Wooooow!
Very cool house!!
It is always my dream home n wish someone like him can help build n am willing to pay...
wow .. its so lovely
Love this guy
Respect ❤ like it.
With his knowledge you could buy something cheap, restore it on a budget sell it for 10 times the cost to restore it.
if i could be half a good a man as this bloke at his age i'd be content.
I wonder what that roof is made out of…
Incredible
Show, parabéns! Boas vibrações!
I was Monty’s double!
If that's a Hobbit house, why is this fellow taller than 1.2m, the maximum possible height for a Hobbit ?
Yes, that would be like a 6' man...or perhaps a wee bit more. 😉 Guess we'd have to call this a HUMAN Hobbit House. 😁 edit: But this is wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful.....this gentleman is indeed an artist!
You must be fun at parties. 😖
@@tparbs Hello giant Hobbit
@@guff9567 Hello, giant oaf. 😉🤣☺️

Are the bodies of the wee lasses buried 'round back?
Was that a wife behind him?
wow.
should have kept the money no children sleeping ruff from there hat off to you anyhow
ciekawe miejsce
To man
Ugh.
Craft's of the Crofts my Ulster Scot, Scots Irish, Scottish American heritage. A simple dairy farm life I grew up in Southern California gone now. Dairies I grew up on turned into housing tracts warehouses, distribution, shopping centers, etcetera. Historical plaques, street, park, school names etcetera all that's left. Lucky I got to grow up before all was gone. Don't understand people. Land of milk and honey wasn't good enough had to have more. Vineyards, oranges lemons, watermelons, strawberries, walnuts, potato's, alfalfa, beef, chickens, eggs, etcetera. All the food you can imagine practically or at times free. Sacrilege stuck shopping grocery store for everything now grown on corporate factory farms. Feel sorry for kids these days. China Disney, Walmart generations.shopbtillvyou drop gone to hell in a handbasket made in China mothers and grandmother's, most don't even know how to cook let alone sew clothes and take care of the home for the kids. Can't wait till school starts back up a common refrain, can't wait to get rid of the kids and let the schools raise them. Turning boys into girls and girls into boys. Lord have Mercy.
