This beautiful rustic pinewood gooseneck tiny house has been a home since 2020, but is looking for a new owner. It has everything inside that you’d need to move right in, including a fantastic galley kitchen, a bathroom with a spacious shower and a gooseneck bedroom with standing room.
The secondary loft also has a storage staircase, leaving you with no dangerous ladders and lots of places to put things. While the flooring could use an update since it’s a soft pine, the house is completely liveable as-is. It’s for sale in St. Charles, MO for $49K

Some 20 years ago, Vari spent time traveling around Australia in a campervan. A couple of years ago, she found herself ready to return to that lifestyle, so she found an RV and converted it into an off-grid rig to enable her to travel around her native Scotland.
She travels with her adorable dog, and her cozy home is functional and beautiful. She has a wood-burning stove, an oven and range, a compact bathroom, and a comfortable living space. We had the honor of doing a Q&A with her, which you can read below the photo tour.

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.

The Boho has appeared on this site many times, but never stretched this far. At 30 feet, the eBoho XLS was the longest Boho ESCAPE had built, and the extra length buys the thing the standard Boho cannot offer: a genuinely private first-floor bedroom behind a frosted door, plus a full-sized tub and shower in a bathroom that isn’t an afterthought.
That combination — no loft, a real bedroom, a real bathroom, everything on one level — makes this one of the most retirement-friendly layouts in the tiny house world. The middle of the home holds an open living area beside a galley kitchen with white stone countertops, a two-burner induction cooktop, an electric oven, a venting microwave, and a tall refrigerator. Being all-electric, it runs a 50A/240V upgraded EV power system and an electric water heater rated at a 35-gallon equivalent, with a washer/dryer combo and a mini-split heat pump. The exterior is cedar.
Editor’s note: this was the first eBoho XLS built, listed at $88,262 with financing available in early 2023, and it has sold. The Boho line remains in production — current listings are linked below.
