45K Inspiring Tiny Home! | Solo Female has perfect Tiny House in Australian forest

Louise lives in her Tiny home that was built for her by a friend for roughly $45,000 Aud in a beautiful spot in a gum tree forest. She is a professional organizer and finds that living in a tiny house suits her well. Because prices of houses went up where she lives she was not able to buy a home and that forced her to look at other options which ended up being a blessing in disguise.

How do you know all these things about this particular woman?

[@CCelia1953]

​@@PetraKann.,. Just listening to her voice and views. Listen again and tell me what yóú hear😂❤❤

[@PetraKann]

@@CCelia1953 I am a poor judge of genuine character if I dont know the person. Anyone can present any persona they like by merely acting or focusing on trivial things or a couple of simple issues. Not questioning the integrity of the woman in this video. Over the years, I have learnt that "character" and "personality" are not the same attribute. In fact they are often totally unrelated. There are those rare individuals where their character and personality are essentially identical. Can you think of one such person CCCCelia1963?

[@yosoyanayosoy]

I was thinking how much I liked her as she speaks and how much of what she says resonates deeply with me.

[@trevarnewighton2954]

@@PetraKannthat’s what I wondered as well

[@rhondaivory3009]

I agree with you. Tiny is the way to go. At any age. I’m almost 70 and a 2bedroom house with a yard is a lot to care for. So the only issue would be the land or a place to put it.

[@mnation6192]

My goal in life is to find the peace that this woman has found in life.

[@theresabrown1272]

A great goal. From the time I was a teen to now (65) I’ve always felt peace of mind is everything!

She seems so genuine. What a cool soul

[@allthingsfrench]

Thank you xx

[@latonyalee7821]

I love how everything is not built-in! I'm sure that's what drives the price up for so many of these tiny homes. Not to mention, having built-ins limits the ability to change things up whenever you want. I love her home but I want my tiny to be my last home, so no lofts for me. Otherwise, everything is PERFECT!

[@Bess9779]

Same here. Built-in narrow couch(es) with thin cushions don't look particularly comfortable. I would gladly give up the under storage space.

[@doetexas]

I had decided not to have lofts either, but I've since changed my mind. If I have stairs with a sturdy handrail, I want a huge loft for only my sewing/quilting room area.

[@doetexas]

There is one thing I've GOT to have! That is one of Zack's storage staircases so I can get to the loft easier AND store whatever I want to in the storage under the stairs!

[@nelliehagen5267]

I agree at an older age and physically not able to climb up and down ladder’s or stairs is a no for me. I love this tiny house otherwise.It’s beautiful. I myself would take out the window at the end of the tiny home in living room.Put in a trundle bed.Then I’d be happy with everything.

[@YourMomsBox202]

Her house is beautiful. A True Tiny Home. Not an overpriced glam house.

[@ann-mariemeurs952]

If i had the wealth I'd buy a tonne of land and start a tiny house community. Lots of individual tiny homes. Lots of communal food gardens. Lots of playgrounds for children and wide open spaces. For people that are done with drama.and the noise in the world.

[@BrendanJMcMahon]

A beautiful home! Glen Murcutt is my favourite architect. Your mantra of touching the earth lightly is something he also reflects in his design

[@SoftwareManiacLSM]

Very inspired video. I couldn't agree more: we need to find ways to give folks decent, affordable living.

[@_filifjonkan4290]

As the divide between the ultra rich and the poor increases, as the middle class disappears, ”they” may want us to move to trailer parks and call it ”tiny houses”. Also, these tiny houses pop up in nice landscapes. I thought we were to cluster housing, not sprinkle it over nature. I get it in Australia. It doesn’t work in Belgium.

[@BINABILGRAMI]

Louise has a notably serene demeanor. Her small residence and its tasteful decor are stunning

[@cmorsley]

Brilliant. Everyone in this modern wealthy society could get something out of watching this and learning to touch lightly on the planet. The more things we own the harder it is to see ourselves through all the clutter and you have reminded me of that. Thank you.

[@vingreensill]

Love this house. Especially love that window over the kitchen sink.

[@TWROC96]

It's a beautiful home with all the windows, the metal siding, and kitchen setup and the bedroom loft is clean and welcoming. Individual pieces of furniture seem much more comfortable and homey. Downsizing/rightsizing seems so smart. You own your things rather than your things owning you.

[@chrispekel5709]

So being a povo started being called downsizing a few years back, and now it's being called rightsizing. And they're not trailer homes, they're tiny homes! I love them and am building one, but the language people use just makes me laugh

[@jeniehuynh4805]

[@iantaylor7023]

Difficult for older age. If you are unwell or your balance is not good the bedroom is not optional. For toilet requirements at night especially for men would be a problem. Downstairs layout is great. All on one level is necessary for old age. I cared for my mother in law in her nineties and it was hard even on one level.

[@momoquiz]

Great home. No limit to nature or air.

[@neerajsaxena]

I appreciate the concept of living with minimalism. There are so many benefits of the idea, you are clutter-free, have low maintenance cost, and give one utter freedom.

[@mark_______]

Absolutely wonderful. It looks like it gives you so much joy Loiuse. Brilliant. 🙏

[@annemarie9980]

Totally love it !!! She is living the Australian Dream ❤

[@icaruswerle4091]

Really love this, I've been leaning towards getting 2 bedrooms. However, i agree that less space is needed and it stops you buying unessential things.❤

[@josmith2002]

❤❤❤👍🌲🎥 🫡😊❤️Beautiful well thought out home. Beautiful location. Yes, light and cross ventilation, and Insulation too - so important. I love my induction cooktop too- I use it on a steel tray on top of my gas stove. But I also love my air fryer, and cheap rice cooker too. I use to have Conran’s ‘House’ book before I decluttered and he did say to put your money into flooring because it is big part of your house space. I wish you a beautiful, happy life 😊😊😊

Beautiful home and owner! I love real furniture instead of built-ins too. Wardrobes aren't important only for women. Some of us guys like to dress; plus I have 30 pairs of shoes. Maybe I'm not quite ready for tiny living! Best regards from Indiana!

[@lauriebrown9714]

I think when you’re older going into a tiny home, we do have our favorite pieces, art, etc. I definitely don’t want every built in. I like my stuff paired down stuff but what I consider my treasure.

[@mauricetermesana9419]

Beautiful home. I do have to question the $45,000 AUD price tag. I live in Australia not far from this home and you would struggle to build a shed for a car with that money. She did say it was built by a friend so if it was $45K just for the materials (no labor) then that may be possible but even then it's a stretch. Australia is crazy expensive particularly with getting tradesmen.

[@user-ep3ck5re4o]

Yes - it’s bloody ridiculous

[@ykook7000]

Nope look up all the tiny house prefab houses they aren't that expensive for a single or couple ...if you have a family of 4,5 or 6 or more well that's on you obviously you can't do it in a tiny house ....research there are different ones starting from $30k or $40k

[@davidjames2235]

One of the best I have ever seen. Well done.

[@superbear617]

I really like the design overall. I recognize your point about the house being well insulated, but the large window area must certainly afford less R-value. Still, your climate seems well-suited for this specific tiny house. Nice job and a great price, IMHO!!

[@Blueskies1180]

Even if I could afford a “regular” house, I would still prefer a tiny home such as this or a tiny cabin… 😊

If you stagger the height of the 2 deck halves people will trip and fall on that a lot. I have a friend with a multi height floor in her living room and everybody has tripped/fallen over it. Sweet place, cheers.

[@pietermerwe2616]

‘For various reasons I have reached the age that I have’. Well… that stirred up a whole lot of philosophical meanderings for me.

[@brodeereynolds7503]

I'd live to know the builder's details too!! :)

[@allthingsfrench]

He’s a dear friend and isn’t doing building. It was just for me. Plus, that was materials cost only. Not sure why they didn’t publish that part. I definitely said it.

[@wthomas5697]

It's funny. I've owned a piece of property in norcal for fifteen years or so and have been spending a lot of time on it lately in a small construction office that I built with the intention of building a regular sized house. I'm coming to the conclusion that there's way more space than a person needs in your typical house for a lot of the reasons you specified here.

[@OutdoorFun01]

And now, I just realized there's french in this somewhat... looking into it. I'm from Québec, Canada. Français câlisse!

[@kmwrites7456]

Lovely home and share your living simpler philosophy, but I would hesitate at making a double-height deck unless the edges are well-lighted for those balmy evenings on the deck with steak, a nice drink, and friends.🙂

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

I love "Touch the planet lightly." I love that fact that there wasn't must rubble left over from the build. The regular building industry wastes soooo much. It's horrible. I personally do not like those built in 'sofa/storage/bed' things. They are extremely uncomfortable. To live Peace-Fully, Joy-Fully, and with a sense of spaciousness is wonderful. I can tell you 'stuff' will not bring any of that.

[@WestShoreMan]

[@davef5916]

Do you know what the arrangement for the land she's on? She mentioned she doesn't own it, is it family's land or a long term lease or something?

[@holgermessner851]

I did build a house myself in Germany. A 2 family house plus basement. In the end it was too big. Moved to Canada. Everything is bigger in North America. Even the houses. Bought a house in 2010. Brand new. Finished the basement myself. Did attach a brick patio 28x12 neighbors were jealous about. But 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, bonus room, big kitchen and living room area. For 3 people. Separation…. And you start thinking. For what? Nobody is actually using all this big houses properly. If you have 8 children. Then 4.5 bathrooms are fine. I moved to Panama. Building myself a 78m2 main floor house. Putting a 2nd level for much later in mind, and will finish it piece by piece. Construction costs? $20,000 - $25,000. Lot 500m2 was $14,000. Looking at the Tiny House movement. If I would have build a 50m2 one level house, it would cost me around $10,000 here in Panama. $45,000 or much more for a trailer size house? Ridiculous. Sorry.

[@cheryleball]

[@robynmarchant3981]

I love your home but it only works if you can find a beautiful permanent property to put it on. I'd love a home like that but to buy the land is expensive.

[@mindcache5650]

Great job. Very clever. Time to hunker down. Is there a land charge from the owners ?

[@MariE-go7ol]

I would not say the tiny home suits older people. Those steps are hazardous for older people. And most older people have aches and pains and mobility issues. Your not the norm. However, your home is stunning and perfect and certainly would be something I’d want except I want a bed downstairs.

[@allthingsfrench]

Yes, I am perfectly prepared to have a bed downstairs when the time comes.

[@amberscadding805]

Would love to know how she bought the block! 45k is such a great price but how much was the land?
