A little while back I told you about Brett‘s amazing villa style off grid tiny house on wheels that he built in New Zealand.
At that time, it was parked at his parents house but that’s not where he planned on living in it.
By the way, you can see that post here in case you already haven’t which showcases and gives you a tour of Brett’s DIY tiny home on a trailer that he built himself after moving back to his home country.

I like knowing that small houses are gaining momentum in other parts of the world and this tiny house that has just been accepted into this eco-friendly and sustainable community in New Zealand proves that the demand for smaller homes is continuing to grow.
In this post, Bryce Langston and Melissa Nickerson take us on a journey to a place called EarthSong Eco-Neighbourhood in Auckland, New Zealand where this woman is living the simple life in her mortgage-free 121 square foot tiny house on wheels.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Where would I put a mobile micro-home if I did build or buy one?” this video is one way to answer that question.
As you’ll see below, this community is full of sustainably designed homes and micro homesteads with permaculture and farming in place.
And now it is home to one of New Zealand’s first trailer tiny homes with a seemingly wonderfully happy owner/dweller. The micro home was built using Tumbleweed’s plans.
Eco-Community Accepts It’s First Tiny House
Isn’t it great to see the idea catching on around the world?
I find it encouraging and hope to continue seeing it gain momentum.
This way we can begin seeing tiny living communities being developed and legal tiny living lots being offered in areas where they are desired by people like us.
Enjoy the rest of the photo tour and video tour of this home and the Eco-Community it’s in below:

Shaye and Tom are a young couple who decided to design and build their own tiny house in West Auckland, New Zealand. It measures 7.2 meters long by 2.4 meters wide which translates to approximately 24′ x 8′. Or a total of 15 square meters (or 161 square feet).
They’ve only been living in it for two weeks as of the filming of the video tour and interview you can watch below thanks to the folks at Living Big in a Tiny House. What’s really inspiring is that the couple had never built anything like this before. They were able to learn most of what they needed by watching videos on the Internet.
What might be even more inspiring is that they’re only going to spend a total of about $20,000 to build it themselves. And that’s all with very high-quality materials used for the build.
