Bend’s Lord of the Rings-styled, 6-acre development is now for sale at $1.3M.
Umpqua Bank originally loaned $3.4M in 2004 for the project. An auction in December yielded no bidders and Umpqua foreclosed on January 16.
The Shire, a 15-lot, village-themed concept in the southeastern part of the city, was marked by its Old World housing styles and fantasy setting styled after J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” series.
The CC&Rs promoted the use of English architecture, including unique stonework, artificial thatched roofs, terraced gardens and a network of streams and ponds with a pathway leading to what was called The Ring Bearer’s Court.
No word if the Mordor subdivision will suffer the same fate.
