This 20-foot tiny house was built by We Shelter People out of Taos, New Mexico — and the specification says a lot about where it was designed to live. A 24-volt, 1.24kW solar system, a propane hot water heater, a propane heater, and a composting toilet mean it can sit well away from services, which is exactly what northern New Mexico asks of a small home.
It runs 209 square feet of interior space on a custom 20ft x 8.5ft trailer, finished to a modern standard throughout.
Editor’s note: this home was listed at $49,999 in 2021 and has sold. We Shelter People is still operating — their site is linked below, along with current listings from other sellers.

What Makes This Off-Grid Ready
- Solar plus propane is the classic off-grid pairing. Electricity for lights and electronics, propane for the heat and hot water that would drain a battery bank.
- A composting toilet removes the hardest hookup. Blackwater is usually what forces a tiny house onto a serviced site.
- 24-volt systems suit small banks. Lower current than 12V means thinner cable runs and less loss — a sensible choice at 1.24kW.
- Twenty feet is the towable sweet spot. Short enough to move easily, long enough for a real kitchen and bathroom.
