Anchored Tiny Home: 400 Sq. Ft. Park Model in Durango Community

Look at this beautiful 400-square-foot park model tiny house, originally built by Anchored Tiny Homes. Located in the Island Cove Mobile and Tiny Home Community in Durango, Colorado, this build showcases how a slightly larger footprint can provide all the comforts of a traditional home while maintaining the efficiency of tiny living.

The design features a private first-floor bedroom with a full closet, a 3/4 bathroom with a large walk-in shower stall, and a U-shaped kitchen featuring full-sized appliances and a dishwasher. It’s an excellent example of the “park model” category, which offers more width and height than a standard tiny house on wheels.

An Anchored Tiny Home with Modern Farmhouse Style


A Chef-Friendly U-Shaped Kitchen

The U-shaped kitchen is a standout feature, providing an incredible amount of counter space and full-sized appliances. The farmhouse sink and quartz countertops add a touch of luxury, while the drawer dishwasher makes clean-up a breeze in a small space.

Cozy Living Area with Built-In Fireplace

The living room feels open and airy thanks to the high ceilings and shiplap walls. An electric fireplace with temperature control provides both warmth and ambiance, making the space feel like a true home rather than a temporary cabin.

Spacious Loft Access via Storage Stairs

Storage is always a challenge in tiny homes, and these storage stairs solve that problem beautifully. They provide easy access to the sprawling loft area while offering hidden cabinets for linens, clothing, or household essentials.

Sprawling Loft Bedroom for Extra Living Space

The 120-square-foot loft is large enough to serve as a second bedroom, a home office, or a cozy lounge. The high pitch of the roof ensures that the space doesn’t feel cramped, and the shiplap detailing continues through the upper level.

Open-Concept Living and Dining

From the living room, you can see how the different zones of the house flow together. The quartz countertops include an overhang that creates a natural dining or workspace for 3-4 people, eliminating the need for a separate dining table.

Private First-Floor Master Bedroom

One of the most sought-after features in a tiny home is a first-floor bedroom. This room includes a full-sized closet and barn doors, providing privacy without sacrificing the open feel of the main living area.

Bright and Functional Bathroom Design

The bathroom features custom cabinets and shelving, maximizing every inch of space. It also houses a combo washer/dryer, making it a fully functional utility room for long-term living.

Walk-In Tiled Shower with Bench

The walk-in shower is a true luxury in a tiny home, featuring tile walls, a built-in bench, and high-quality fixtures. It’s a reminder that downsizing doesn’t have to mean giving up on a high-end bathroom experience.

400 Sq. Ft. Park Model Layout

The floor plan reveals the clever use of space, including the placement of the first-floor bedroom, the expansive kitchen, and the integration of storage throughout the build.
