Do you remember when we showed you Kenya’s first tiny house? Well, it’s for sale now! Carefully designed to traverse Kenya’s roads, this tiny home has some great features like two stand-up loft bedrooms and fold-down benches that become additional beds. David has been living in it off and on for three years as he’s traveled between Kenya and France.

Now that he’s moving to France more permanently, he’s looking for someone to purchase his one-of-a-kind creation. Below, he carefully describes the many features he added to the tiny house! He’s asking €40,000 (~$43,000 USD) and you can get in touch with him via email.

It’s hard to find a tiny house already on land that you can rent or purchase, and this gorgeous double loft tiny house on wheels has a prime location at Acony Bell Tiny Home Community in North Carolina. You can take over the lease for the lot, at $700/month, and enjoy the private location that faces the gorgeous woods. Most homes in the community are lined up, with a nice buffer between them, but this one sits apart against the edge of the village.

You enter the home in the living room, which includes a couch and seating for two that looks out the window. A U-shaped kitchen takes up one end of the home, while a bathroom sits at the other end, with a tiled shower stall and washer/dryer unit. The house has two queen-sized lofts, and one is easily accessible via stairs with a neat pipe railing I’ve never seen before! You can purchase the home for $115,000 and take over the lot lease. What do you think?

After traveling the world with nothing but a backpack, living tiny was nothing new to Gemma. But building a tiny house from the trailer up? Well, that was a whole new challenge, but one she met gladly with the help of her dad.

She has a whole off-grid set-up, including solar panels, a rainwater catchment system, and a composting toilet. Recycled materials helped keep costs down, such as donated insulation, and she chose to use MDF instead of plywood to further save money. You’re going to love the tour of this creative space!

If you’re concerned about VOCs and toxic material choices in tiny homes, you’ll want to take a look at this THOW from LA Tiny Houses. Built using non-toxic materials and low/no VOCs, you can feel easy breathing indoors. The single-floor layout makes it a great option for anyone averse to ladders/stairs.

The simple design has all the necessities — a compact kitchen with an oven and apartment-sized refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower and composting toilet, and a main living area where you can add some kind of pull-out bed to make it double as a sleeping space. Plus at $46,000, it’s on the cheaper end of many tiny houses for sale today! What do you like best about this one?

If you’re going to have a loft bedroom in a tiny house, a true staircase with a solid railing makes all the difference, especially for middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. This 30′ Noah-certified Tiny House not only has that railing, but the cabinets/storage underneath the stairs is so cleverly designed, with multiple pull-out platforms to make it easy to access small appliances, pots, and pans.

Plus, the kitchen has a stove, oven, mini dishwasher, and decent-sized refrigerator, so foodies won’t be sacrificing anything by downsizing! The bathroom is also ultra-luxurious, with double sinks, a residential toilet and a full-sized walk-in shower stall. But of course, all those features come with a price! You can purchase it for $189,999 in Ellensburg, Washington.
