The Hobbit Hole was a residence built by Alec on Halfast during the Eighth Era.
It was located in the town of Koan on the River Roaring just upriver from Iolanthe and next to the Halfast Graveyard.

As one of the earliest settlers of Halfast, Alec built the Hobbit Hole when Koan was the entry point for the entire planet. He routinely made use of Zen's sugarcane farm there and needed a place to store his belongings. It began as a small cave lined with double chests until he decided to expand and decorate the area.
The cozy wooden home was dug into a small hillside. It was fully furnished with a kitchen, library, bedroom, and a brewery. A large meeting room with a long banquet table was adorned in flags, weapons of war, and suits of armor. There were three entrances—the circular front gate, a side door that opened into a small cleft in the surrounding hills, and a rear route that opened up towards Iolanthe.
Despite the cozy accommodations, Alec never used the Hobbit Hole as a residence.
As his interests diversified he sought new projects to keep things fresh, including a mining town on a ravine near the future site of the Fish Bowl and an underwater temple dome. Unfortunately, due to the Halfast limit of five active claim deeds per citizen, this required him to abandon the Hobbit Hole claim.
In the days that followed, the build took some minor damage but remained unlooted and largely intact, owing to the fact that Halfast was still an invite-only closed community at the time.
Tox became a caretaker of the property, using of his own claims to hold in trust while granting full access to its previous owner. He repaired the damage, added a back door, and erected a sign that notified visitors that Alec had built it.Though Koan itself turned into a ghost town after the Fish Bowl became the entry point for all of Asgarth, the Hobbit Hole remained an occasional stop for explorers venturing into the east.
On 8E:209, the Hobbit Hole became the site of the first murder on Halfast when Jrod killed Zerg just outside of the back door.
