Here’s The Story

By selling his London properties and paying off his mortgage, Harbour was able to invest in 18.5 acres of Welsh land. This move initially required him to live in a tent, but over five years, he transformed the empty plot into a charming homestead.

His new home includes a roundwood timber-framed hobbit hut, a workshop, a greenhouse, and livestock. Harbour’s commitment to sustainable living is evident in his use of free wood, natural binders, and renewable energy sources.

This eco-friendly approach, combined with his woodworking business, makes his new lifestyle not only environmentally friendly but also financially sustainable.
