The Abundance of Less is a Japanese-inspired tiny house: a genkan just inside the 12-pane door where shoes come off, a tokonoma alcove for something worth looking at, and tansu-style storage stairs climbing toward two lofts. Steel and cedar outside, timber frame and spruce floors in. 250 square feet, two beds, one bath.
It’s listed by Humble Abode in Santa Fe, New Mexico — a new 2026 tiny house on a trailer, no land, $145,000 cash. Let’s take a closer look.
A Genkan, Then a Tokonoma
Step through the 12-pane door, and you are not in the living room. You are in a genkan — a Japanese-style entry vestibule where you leave your shoes on a slatted wood mat before stepping up onto the spruce floors. Cedar wraps the walls and ceiling. Coat pegs, a small shelf, and that’s it. The ritual is the point.
Just beyond, a tokonoma is built into the wall: a backlit display alcove with reed silhouettes and a timber post at the edge. In a traditional Japanese house, the tokonoma is where you put a scroll, a flower, something worth looking at. Here it is worked into 250 square feet, which tells you what this build is trying to be.
Steel, Cedar, and a Triple-Axle Chassis
The hitch-end is the one you’ll remember: a cedar-clad cantilevered loft over a 12-pane door, grey corrugated metal down the long side, and a black triple-axle trailer underneath. The chassis is 8.5′ × 24′ with an 18,000-pound GVWR — a serious platform for a 250-square-foot house. The structure is timber-framed; the siding is steel and cedar.
From the rear gable you get the other half of the picture: a wood-clad end wall, awning windows cracked open toward the mountains, the same triple axle sitting on a Santa Fe lot.
A Birch Kitchen With Room to Cook
The kitchen runs galley-style with birchwood counters, custom drawers, and a built-in dish rack. Custom spaces are cut for a refrigerator and a toaster oven — the listing includes the spaces, not those appliances. Heat is electric; AC is optional. Custom cabinetry runs throughout the house.
The cooking side is an LP two-burner range set into the birch, with a tile backsplash behind it. Hot water is a Rinnai tankless, also LP.
Living, Dining, and Tansu Stairs
The main living space looks down the length of the house: spruce floors, a dining counter under an awning window, a slat screen closing off the sleeping loft, and tansu-style storage stairs climbing the other wall. The stairs are the storage — drawers and cubbies stacked into the treads — which is how you get a loft without giving up every cubic inch below it.
The Bath: Redwood Plank, Flushing Toilet
One bath, as listed: a shower with a redwood shower plank underfoot and a residential flushing toilet. Copper pipes are left exposed in the shower, and a vessel sink sits on the wood vanity.
Two Lofts
The sleeping loft has the same solid spruce floors as downstairs and a cedar-plank ceiling that follows the roof pitch. An awning window keeps it from feeling like a cave. The listing also includes a storage loft, and counts the house as two beds and one bath.
