Darby has just left Hobbiton.

Me? I was always drawn to Tom Bombadil's home. That's the sort of land I'd like to live in.
"They were in a long low room filled with the light of lamps swinging from the beams of the roof; and on the table of dark polished wood stood many candles, tall and yellow, burning brightly."
The house is (in my own opinion) the most comfortable sounding of all of them with the possible exception of Bag End, and the descriptions of the woods and downs somehow makes me think of my own Canadian Shield type environment (even though I know Tolkien was probably going more for Northern England). I would love to live in a place with such a sense of history.
