Tiny House For Sale

FOR SALE – OFF-GRID, BESPOKE, SUSTAINABLE TINY HOUSE

Designed & Built by Registered Builder (Creations In Parallel – Sustainable Building & Design).

We are regrettably selling our much-loved tiny house as it no longer suits our growing family. This tiny house was built so that we could travel around Victoria while building sustainable homes in rural/regional areas as part of our business.

The house is completely Off-Grid/Stand Alone with a large enough solar system (and high quality inverter and battery storage) to power a full range of appliances (not all at once) including washing machine, Vitamix blender, electric cooktop, toaster, kettle, computer, fridge, lighting and split system heating/cooling unit. The solar system on the house has even been used to power tools while building new homes in rural areas, and also has provision for backup generator input if needed.

Built from a mix of new and recycled timbers, the house comprises of a bed loft area (larger than king size) with timber access ladder, bespoke timber joinery, desk/dining space and kitchen space.

There is adequate storage with overhead shelving, under bench cupboards and pantry drwaer, basket storage spaces, desk cupboard and pigeon hole areas, and under seat storage. LED strip lighting throughout plus a custom-made ‘chandelier’ provide a warm feel.

The house is heated with a wood stove in winter that also heats hot water and provides an additional cooking option, but also has a split system that can be used for heating in winter (and AC in summer). It is easy to heat the space with only a small amount of wood and as it is well insulated it stays warm overnight. Wall insulation, under floor and loft floor insulation, insulated blinds and double-glazed windows mean that the air-conditioner keeps the house cool even during very hot summers.

There are two decks which can be removed for transport. The deck on the entry side also forms part of the bathroom/shower area with Japanese-style screens (also removable) and a hot & cold shower.

A water tank provides permanent water storage with provision for mains water connection if available.

The house was designed to fit on to the back of a truck for transport (with the loft over the cab), but can also be transported by crane and truck. Hand-wound jacks mean the house can be lowered to any desired height. There is also provision for the jacks to be removed if the house is placed on permanent footings.

With a complete off-grid setup, this house is extremely liveable and comfortable for full-time living, but would also make a unique Air Bnb or guesthouse.
