The Bosun Cabin was designed for a woman making a major life pivot. After a lifetime of urban hustle in Vancouver, she set her sights on a quieter, more intentional lifestyle on a remote island off the coast. Think dense woods, ocean air, and a sloping lot that leads into a gulley—basically, a real-life fairy tale setting.
Her vision? A life filled with simplicity and movement. She wanted a small, efficient, and beautiful home that didn’t just sit on the land but connected with it. A place that felt alive with light, air, and views—without needing tons of square footage.

So you want to downsize, but you’re not ready to go tiny — and you’d like to own your land instead of leasing. Well, Randy at Incredible Tiny Homes has an opportunity for you! He’s planning a subdivision in Morristown, Tennessee where homeowners can pick from several small house designs (between 800-1500 square feet) and secure a spot with a $40,000 down payment.
The homes will sit on quarter-acre lots, and the cost for the homes and land range from $139K-$219K. This is still in the development phase, but it’s worth checking out if you’re ready to downsize!
