Here’s an incredible A-frame on the water in Alabama that’s for sale. It comes with .80 acres of land to enjoy, with water access and a dock. While some might consider it a vacation property, it could make a great small home for a couple or young family.

The house has a loft bedroom divided into two spaces (one for a queen bed and one for twin bunks), and putting a false wall could create more privacy. The first floor has an open-concept living room, kitchen, and full bathroom. They’re asking $249,900. What do you think?

With its striking all-black exterior and clever no-loft layout, this 28-foot Kangaroo THOW proves that tiny house design doesn’t have to follow a formula. Built on a custom heavy-duty triple-axle Kangaroo trailer, it replaces the traditional sleeping loft with a queen-sized Murphy bed that folds over the couch, keeping the ceilings high and every inch of the home accessible.

At 8.5 by 28 feet, this build packs in a full kitchen with oak cabinetry, a bathroom with a Nature’s Head composting toilet, and even a built-in rainwater collection system. French doors welcome you in, and thoughtful built-in storage makes the most of every wall.

This unique home is your chance to own a round, small house and an entire acre of lovely wooded land in North Carolina. You get beautiful vacation-worthy views and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home. Besides the bedrooms, the space has a large loft, which could be another sleeping area, lounge room, or office, and another smaller room used as a walk-in closet but is large enough to act as a third bedroom.

The house’s main area has a galley kitchen, a built-in window bar for eating, a central electric fireplace, and space for a sofa or chairs. Walk through the sliders, and you’re on a porch with nearly 180-degree views of the countryside and hills. While it needs some TLC, you can purchase the home for $164,500 if you’re up for a project.

Matias and Austina got a fantastic deal on their bus! It cost them just $3,000 to acquire the bus, and they spent about $18,000 overall on the conversion (although they admittedly didn’t keep receipts). Matias had the idea to jump into nomadic life first, but Austina eventually came to the concept, and now they love nomadic life.

The bus has a fabulous L-shaped kitchen with a propane stovetop and mini fridge. They built a dinette for eating and working, and there’s a comfortable couch. They went with a Separett toilet in their bathroom. What’s your favorite feature of this family’s budget bus build?

This German family of three got their first taste of nomadic life during a 10-month stint in 2020 when they camped around Europe in their previous camper. Returning to “regular life” proved difficult, and they wondered how to live on the road permanently.

So they sold their home and purchased this new incredible RV, which cost about €200,000 (~$ $215,000 USD), including all the upgrades they made. The RV has a bed over the cab for mom and dad, and the son has bunks at the back of the rig. They have a table, kitchen, and, yes, a bathroom! In the comments, let us know what you love most about this conversion.
