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.

Convertible and multiple-use furniture and spaces aren’t seen enough in Tiny House designs. I’m not knocking these homes because they are all great but on a lot of factors, these too are slipping away from the majority of people. Let’s face, financing these homes is still pretty much in it’s infancy, and most of us regardless of age don’t have a spare hundred grand or so sitting around. Would be nice if builders did have more variety for the lower end market. The problem is that because tiny homes have caught on, they are gradually getting away from being affordable for those of us who would have bought one because it’s the only home we could ever afford to call our own.

Inside-out asteroids: A practical method for creating space habitats

Dark wood-stained butcher block counters surround a large white farmhouse sink sitting above simple and functional white cabinets and drawers. However, you’ll notice at the end of the kitchen by the living area there is a little slide-out table. I like the clever use of pocket doors to give privacy to the breakfast nook/Murphy Bedroom when the bed’s set up, while leaving the ground floor much more open and spacious-looking when no one’s sleeping there.

The undulating roof line, for example, recalls a flowing river, while the blue gradient on the back wall recreates the shifting blues of the Colorado sky. "The sun-ray pattern pays homage to the Colorado sun—we have 300+ days of sunshine per year—and the portholes mimic the stars in the desert sky," says Greg. The living area is under the sleeping loft, which is actually an elevator bed.

This tiny house with big views is located on Orcas Island, which, at 57.3 square miles, is the largest island in the San Juan Islands archipelago. Referred to by locals as “the gem of the San Juans,” this horseshoe-shaped island is also the home of the 2,409-foot-tall Mount Constitution, the archipelago’s highest point. Tiny homes are not legal due to building codes, lack of regulations, HUD opposition, and more. You should always check local laws and see if you can live in a tiny home in your state.

Having States and Counties acknowledge that the Tiny Home is a housing source for our citizens will expedite the local efforts to provide regulations. These homes need to be safely built for occupancy, be able to be sold, resold, financed and insured. The County doesn’t have any occupancy regulations attached to their RV definition so it is silent as to whether the RV on site can be used just for recreational camping, or nightly or long term occupancy. However, many plats have Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that indicate the RV or Trailer may only be on site during the course of construction or only on site for a certain number of months at a time. You can park your Tiny Home on your property as it is considered an RV but you may only have one parked as two or more are considered a Recreation Vehicle Park which requires permits and applicable zoning.

Its porch is manually folded away when the house is being towed, as is the small solar panel-topped awning. Parham says it produces enough energy for his lights, laptop etc. However, when the tiny house is parked up on his own land, he has a second solar panel array that provides more power.

The Tiny Homes are stick-built on their trailers or skids. In most cases their plumbing, electrical, insulation and interior finishes are similar to a stick-built home but they are not always built to the code of a stick-built home. Other rules and regulations such as density, health and safety would apply in the permitting process and once the Tiny Home is installed on a foundation and considered real property.

The San Juan was built on a custom vee nose trailer that measures 8’4″ wide and 24-feet long. But, to call this a 24-foot tiny house is a bit misleading since the front wall has a 30-degree angle over the vee nose. The angle provides an extra three feet of length at the longest part of the roofline. Best Tiny House ideas and execution, yours surpasses all the others!

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.

There are also four massive AGM batteries rated at 400Ah each. There is room in the system to add either wind or hydro generators, but for now all these components are proving to be adequate.

Being older and less sure footed I am a fan of park models. This is really nice with all of the sleeping areas for friends and family. The cottage is located in a lake resort community called Wildwood Lakefront Cottages. We did install a mini split for those few weeks in the summer that are uncomfortably warm, and as backup heat on a thermostat in the winter. Because we are running on solar, we made our capacity a little larger and also shopped around for the most efficient mini split on the market.

This required us to buy a more expensive inverter with 220v output, but sometimes you have to spend a little money up front to save it down the line. This house was designed to be fully off grid since we had no idea where it would eventually end up. There are two 360 Watt solar panels fixed to the house that double as our porch awning. The back 12′ of the house has a 3 1/2″ recessed pocket on the passenger side that the awning and aluminum deck fold into for travel. This way they don’t stick out past out 8′-6″ width limitation. The bathroom is separated from the kitchen by our closet area.

For the roof shape, we took some cues from the beloved Pequod build, but flattened the curves out some to make roof and ceiling installation easier. SIP’s cannot be warped into a spherical aspect, so just like on the Pequod, we had to stick frame the roof.

It may be possible to obtain a consumer loan which is similar to the terms of a vehicle loan. On the various websites I did note that some of the service providers offer financing for their homes but not the land acquisition; that would need to be a separate land loan. Land loans are typically short term and have higher interest rates as the banks suffered numerous losses during the financial crisis in their land loan portfolios. The San Juan is a park model available at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, located along Lake Whatcom in Washington state.
