Today we’re excited to introduce the beautiful Eclipse Cottages, built with low-maintenance SIP panels and including rainwater catch base filtration systems, greywater reuse systems, and other amazing sustainable options! They come with a few layout options and plenty of customization color/finish-wise.
Right now, these cottages are only available to be placed in one of Eclipse’s three tiny house villages in South Carolina, but eventually, they will build and ship them to the general public.
Did I say tiny house village? Yes! Stay tuned for a more in-depth post about the communities, but you can head over here and here to learn more about two of them (which are currently taking residents) and here for a third one in production. Tell us what you think in the comments!
Martha had been wanting to go tiny for a long time and one day she came across Randy and Incredible Tiny Homes on YouTube. She stayed up all night watching his videos, found out about his community, got in touch with them, and put down a deposit — all in a couple of days!
She loves her one-floor tiny home, dubbed the “Death Star” by her neighbors. As an avid Star Wars fan, she also loves the name. Most of all, though, she loves the community! Every day she has coffee or lunch or dinner or walks with neighbors who are all living tiny just like she is.
M was one of the first 5 long-term tiny homes that rolled into Acony Bell Tiny Home Community in North Carolina. Her lot abuts two winding creeks on the 56 acres in the community and features not only her professionally-built THOW but her pottery studio as well.
She’s a professional artist and sells her pottery and teaches classes onsite. The walls of her THOW are covered in meaningful art she’s purchased, been given, or created herself. She chose a design without a loft and has no regrets on that front.
Brandy retired just before 2020, and the pandemic set her on a new path to tiny living. She’s honest about her downsize — it hasn’t been easy to purge her items or give up wall space for relatives’ artwork. But she’s also found ways to make the space work for her, including using her downstairs bedroom as an awesome crafting space (I’m jealous!).
She lives in a tiny house community with community gardens and she loves to cook and prepare the food she’s grown and give it to her neighbors. She sounds like someone you’d love living next door to.
Tiny house parking can be tough to come by, so we are excited to announce a new tiny house community that is opening in Central Kentucky. Bluegrass Tiny Ridge has four spaces backed up to a ridge of trees with lovely views of farmland and wildlife.
Your lot rent of $450/month includes water, sewer, trash, street mailbox, package drop off, lockable 6×8 storage, mowed walking paths, group fire pit with shaded sitting area and lawn care. Electric and wifi will be separate charges.
“When we started this venture, our vision was to provide a peaceful setting and find the right mix of individuals looking for new and lasting friendships; a group that can share the joys (and experiences) of tiny house living.” – Kim & Arthur Hollis, Community Owners
Just two miles outside of Lancaster, KY, you are close enough to amenities while still able to enjoy a rural tiny life. To contact the owners about renting, fill out their form here.
Homelessness is a problem in every city in the country, and many times when we see tiny homes we think, “We need more of these for the homeless!” Community First! Village in Austin, Texas took that idea and brought it to life, with 51 acres of property with more than 500 homes for the chronically homeless.
But they’ve gone beyond just building houses — they’ve built a community. Residents find family and friends at the village, as well as work on the premises. There’s an art house, automotive shop, forge, organic garden and so much more designed to give the neighbors at the community purpose. The FAQ page answers tons of questions about the village here.
One of the ways they get revenue for the park is through some tiny house rentals where anyone can stay during a visit to Austin! Check that out here.
No need to worry about parking this beautiful Serenity Tiny House at Little River Escape in Georgia! This house is for sale on a stunning lot, which you pay a monthly lot rental fee for.
The $450/month private wooded lot sits overlooking a creek, and includes water/sewer/garbage. The lots at the community are 3/4 of an acre on average, meaning there’s no “postage stamp” feeling here! The community sprawls through 50 acres atop Lookout Mountain, and comes with oodles of amenities including a pool, community fire pit, walking trails, 24-hour fitness room, dog park and more.
The home itself is 200 square feet, with tons of additional outdoor living space including a rooftop deck and screened-in porch. It comes fully furnished and there’s a king-sized bed up in the loft! Enjoy the photo tour, and contact Little River Escape about purchasing this beauty ($68,500 asking price).
Not only is this tiny house for sale, it’s currently at the Cedar Springs Tiny Village in Ohio, where they have 4 new spots open and ready for new tiny home dwellers. You could buy the house and rent a spot to park it all in one go!
The 20′ tiny house is for sale for $65,000 and lot rent is around $441 a month with 13 month+ lease. Inside, the THOW has an industrial feel, with red accents and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The loft bedroom fits a queen-sized bed and has a super cool reclaimed-wood-style headboard.
The home has stainless steel appliances, including a washer/dryer unit, and a 3/4 bathroom with a flush toilet. Enjoy the photo tour below and contact [email protected] to make an offer, or for additional information. You can also contact them about reserving a site at their village.
We have some great news about a new tiny house community set to open this fall on the Coosa River. The Seven Lilly Luxury Lots Minimal Lifestyle Living will welcome both tiny homes and RVs in a beautiful natural setting for a very affordable price.
The annual lot leases will start at $200 monthly (water included), and there will be 50amp power at each site (each lot responsible to activate power with Power Company).
Power and water should be in by November 2020, but you may want to call Shana at 256-493-2376 to discuss securing a spot. It looks like it’ll be a great community (but make sure to never send money unless it’s all checked out!).
