Hidden off a quiet North Carolina backroad sits a tiny stone village built by one man’s imagination. 🏰 The Shangri-La Stone Village in Prospect Hill is unlike anything else, 27 miniature buildings, each around five feet tall, crafted entirely by hand from stone, concrete, and found objects. Built between 1968 and 1977 by retired to***co farmer Henry L. Warren, it includes a church, jail, schoolhouse, hotel, and even a water tower. More than 11,000 arrowheads are embedded in its walkway. Warren called it his “retirement project,” and kept building until he passed at 84. Today, it still stands a surreal roadside masterpiece that anyone can visit for free.
