A review of the regulations around our guest houses may need to be revisited again. In our remote location where guests and family stay a while, guest homes are very popular. Many years back, due to fears of double density, we imposed various restrictions in hopes of stopping or reducing the guest house construction but some of these rules are being bypassed or ignored. As a REALTOR, I see many outbuildings that are very similar to a guest house, but just not permitted as one.
I saw a bed like this in another build but where one of the windows was replaced with a TV was so when raised the TV was viewed from the couches and when lowered it was viewed from the bed. We'll match the lowest rate, upgrade your bid to a cash offer, and hold your hand every step of the way. In addition to a main home and an ADU, a 5 acre parcel may be eligible to have one RV although many plats have Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that prohibit the RV long term parking.

All of the details including tongue in groove accents on these drawers just add to the beauty of the home while not taking away from the functionality. The living room area enjoys a porthole opening to the outdoors. The kitchen is designed to be both compact and functional. There are four more 360 watt panels ground mounted away from the house for maximum insolation. Wires for all these panels get routed into Greg’s closet where the charge controller and inverter live.
While the exterior of this home is truly extraordinary to look at, the interior isn’t lacking in beauty and functionality. Inside these walls you will find a spacious living area, one small loft, a large master loft, a full kitchen, tons of hidden storage, a bathroom with soaking tub, and even more. The kitchen features a custom black mesquite live edge counter with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise inlays.

Visitors enter the home through handmade doors into the living room/bedroom. This has a sofa with integrated storage, including a laptop storage space underneath the armrest. Above is the elevating bed, but unlike other models we've seen, it's not motorized.
For the rear wall, I had a few bundles of pre-primed cedar shakes leftover from a contractor sale a few years back, so we thought an ombre pattern with seven shades of blue to mimic the changing Colorado horizon would be cool here. We gave the fascia and doghouse window trim some styled lines for a little distinction over straight boards. Then comes the dirt, rock, minerals, trees, grasses, flowers, and wild creatures that form one of the most majestic mountain ranges in all of North America, the San Juans.

Once the County has evidence, they will issue the permits necessary to allow construction of the Tiny Home on a foundation. The vehicle licensing title would then be eliminated and the home would be considered real property. If the home is installed on a foundation and compliant with the County permitting and life safety inspections, then a portfolio real estate loan may be applicable.
After all, an almost-otherworldly beauty pervades all 172 named islands of this untamed archipelago just off the coast of northwest Washington state, where killer whales swim free and bald eagles nest. Some of the most stunning acreage in the Pacific Northwest is included in the sale of this petite cottage in Washington state’s San Juan Islands. As rentals, ADUs offer affordable housing for many of our citizens which should outweigh the concerns over double density. Before I launch further, the ADU regulations are an entire topic on their own.
Having lived here nearly 8 years, I have explored my fair share of this pristine land, but feel like I have just touched the tip of the iceberg. I’m always blown away at the awesomeness of this place I get to call home. The bed is an elevator bed that works with on a pulley system.
The County will respond to a complaint but they don’t have the system in place nor staff to enforce the general regulations regarding vehicle parking on private property. As a REALTOR, I have noted numerous properties that have a high number of vehicles parked accompanied by various treasures, a few Costco tents and the infamous blue tarps, but I have always felt that situation is none of my business. Further the County may not respond to anonymous complaints. Although some Tiny Homes have composting toilets, the County would prefer that the RV units be hooked up to a septic system.
They were finally able to come up with an elevator bed design that didn’t require a motor. The frame is large enough for a queen size mattress and has side rails made from walnut and alder. The centerpiece of our kitchen is a deep 24″ wide composite granite apron sink. Surrounding the sink is a custom live edge counter made from south Texas black mesquite, inlayed with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise from Arizona. With some very careful detail work, I was able to create a slot for a floating butcher block table to slide in and out of. It just floats, and with help from a little beeswax slides around very easily.
It also includes an efficient wood-burning stove, a mini-split unit for heating and cooling, a ceiling fan, and a heat recovery ventilation system.

The exterior also has porthole windows as well as standard glazing installed. Further, guidelines apply regarding the rental of the real property structures. If you have a main house and ADU, only one may be rented nightly subject to a vacation rental permit. The other structure must be occupied by a tenant on at least a month-to-month or by the owner. You may not rent out the main and guest house on a nightly basis unless they are rented to the same party simultaneously.
San Juan is name place that holds a special place in our hearts. The land we call home is surrounded by it, quite literally. There is a San Jaun county to our North, and also to our South. The San Juan River originates high in the eastern San Juans at the Continental Divide, flowing down into Pagosa Springs before emptying into Navajo Lake. The Animas River that is the lifeblood of Durango winds its way south until meeting the San Juan River just on the other side of the New Mexico border and downriver from Navajo Lake.
