A Compact Tiny House with Its Own Lot in a Florida Tiny Home Community

The hardest part of tiny living is rarely the house — it’s finding somewhere legal to put it. This compact THOW solved that problem by coming with its spot: a site in Circle Pond Tiny Community in Florida, a purpose-built community designed for long-term, permanent tiny home living rather than short-term RV stays.

The home itself leans modern. Sliding glass doors open onto a deck, and inside there’s black flooring, aluminum cabinetry with black accents, and recessed lighting in the loft bedroom. The kitchen runs black and chrome with a window over the sink, there’s a small built-in entertainment center in the living area, and the bathroom holds a flush toilet, vanity, and shower. Solar panels sit on the roof, and the site has full hook-ups.

The economics were the real story: $50,000 for the home, with the option to keep it in place for $500/month — and that lot fee covered water, sewer, garbage, lawn care, and electricity, which is unusual.

Editor’s note: this home was listed in 2023 and is no longer available. Circle Pond is still operating, and current tiny homes for sale are linked below.

What to Weigh Before Buying Into a Community

  • A lot fee that includes electricity is genuinely unusual. Power is normally the most volatile bill in a small home; a flat fee that covers it makes budgeting predictable.
  • Buying the home and the spot together removes the hardest variable. Parking is the single biggest obstacle in tiny living, and a community site solves it on day one.
  • Check whether the community is built for permanence. Communities zoned for long-term living are a different proposition from RV parks that cap your stay.
  • Solar plus included electricity is belt and braces. Panels keep the home usable if you ever move it somewhere without hook-ups.

      If it’s in the same location, 1… Look up Tiny House Giant Journey episode, “She created an affordable tiny house community (Florida)” that Jenna posted a year ago. Has an aerial image that gives a good overhead view of all the lots…

      There’s also a Tiny House Talk article from June 13, 2019, “A real tiny house community in Florida…” that has video links from Andrew Bennett when he visited that place back then… Between them it should give a pretty good idea of lot sizes and how the area looks…

    If the home was designed to be moved fairly often, then I would understand the use of 24 square feet of the trailer for a porch. Otherwise, use that sofa-sized space for the living room and build a separate porch/deck.
    As is, there isn’t much room to ‘live’ in that home.
