Young Woman's Incredible Tiny Forever Home

While for some, tiny houses are temporary stepping stones, this young woman’s incredible tiny house on wheels has been built as a dream tiny forever home. Within the walls of this house, owner Helen has absolutely everything she needs and has compromised on nothing.
Support our show: / livingbig
Slightly wider than a normal tiny house, this impressive design has meant that this home has a tremendous amount of functionality within a relatively small footprint. Knowing that she planned on living in the house for the foreseeable future, she really wanted to make sure that she could create a space that would truly work for her.

The design of this tiny home has also allowed Helen to build in some really unique features, including a lounge / media loft where she can relax at the end of the day, sit back and enjoy a movie. Living in this tiny house is a dream come true for Helen and it’s great to see all her hard work pay off. I hope you enjoy the video tour of this wonderful tiny home.

This tiny house is absolute perfection. There’s not a single thing that I don’t love about her home. She’s nailed it!

[@klairemonares7130]

SUPER AGREE!

[@lieuwina]

I agree totally that she made it bigger than the usual tiny house films I have seen. I think by not compromising she certainly got what she wanted and when I saw her 2nd loft area well that certainly nailed it for me. I think this is one of the best designed tiny house I have seen. Though I wonder who built it for her, her dad, a company? It is lovely that her father has such a big piece of land as that would have pushed up the cost. I wish Helen the very best in her superb tiny home.

Love the fact that you can stand up in the bedroom loft. Can't imagine crouching over to make a bed on a daily basis. Nice to see a real, decent size couch and not bench seating.

After watching a lot of these videos, my conclusion is if you want a tiny house, you need parents that own massive land.

[@irshikha]

😂😂😂

[@brenttyrrell4581]

Yeah, I’ve also notice that Fiona. Or in other cases the small home owners have made a long term arrangement with a farm owner. But another argument, and it all depends on where you have to live. Well in my country there is plenty of available bare land with running water for sale and (within reason) affordable. But I’m not talking in the CBD of any city or town. So, if you didn’t have to commute to work each day, what would it take to build yourself a very comfortable home, off grid. On your own land without a mortgage???? In this video, the young woman, who I absolutely love, has the option of saving her savings in very high Auckland rent prices and one day purchase her own bare land and relocating her wide tiny home. She could purchase up north if she hates the cold or purchase in Taumarunui if she loves remoteness and the cold.

Aside from that, you don't have authority to change much, accept maybe paint but then, you'd have to repaint back to the way it was if you move, otherwise they'd deduct it from your deposit, even though they'd do it anyway after you leave! 😳 And you generally don't have a yard or space for plants or outside entertaining when the weather is nice. And if you want to have a party, well, you have neighbors right on the other side of your wall(s) and/or up or downstairs! And if you or your neighbors have kids, well, there's that 'neighbors' thing again! If you want pets, you are limited to how many and even what species. Most places these days require deposits of $100-$1000 PER pet PLUS pet rent of anywhere between $25-$100, again, PER pet! 👿 You may not have a designated spot to park your car if you have one, either! So, yeah, depending what your lifestyle is! I say, give me the small house on a 1/2 -1+ acre plot, where I can grow some food, have bbq's/parties with as many guests as I can fit on the property(till 3am if I want), have as many pets as I can financially care for(saving them from being euthanized at the shelter), and being far enough away from the neighbors that we can't hear each other fart in the middle of the night, all for about 1/2 -1/3 of the price of renting over the long haul! 😱😎😺

Isn't she great?

[@camilleize]

I honestly felt the same way--felt such a peaceful & happy vibe just listening to her! That rarely happens to me. I was smiling the whole time. I'd bet she has lots of great friends. Obviously $140,000 was worth it because she seems so happy and content.

[@tehrsbash]

Bryce, Your channel has truly inspired me to design and build a tiny home as a stepping stone towards my dream house (an Earthship). I love the comfort and personality all these homes have and they are an extremely effective way of escaping from the rent trap early on so you can live a fulfilling life with experiences rather than material goods. Love the channel, keep it up!

[@livingbig]

Thanks and best of luck with your earthship!

The higher price is worth all the options it offers ( can move it, won't get unexpectedly thrown out by a landlord or building manager ) and it's her dream with all the things she has dreamed of in a home on top!!!

[@gg-sb8mn]

Worth every penny! !!

[@denisesalt9729]

I have seen tiny house cost more and you get less. This place seems worth it if cost of luving there is high.

[@sharene411]

The reason Tiny Homes exist is for more afforadble housing. $96,000 is NOT affordable with todays economy. It would still be a BIG loan. Not many people have parents, relatives with much acreage. Still LOVE the layout. Thx Bryce. ☺

[@racheldw5557]

@@alanedark1538 Not sure where you live, but In Australia and New Zealand, being able to own a home your own home for under 150k AUD is pretty much unheard of, even in the outer suburbs and country side. Apartments in decent areas go for upwards of 300-500k to well over 800k-1M which is seriously unachievable. In the US (where I'm assuming you are from correct me if im wrong) the price of housing is much cheaper than in a lot of other Western countries, so the figure Helen said may seem like a lot, when in reality its a pretty decent price tag for her standard of housing. Its quite common these days for people around their 30s to move somewhat back home so they can save to afford to buy themselves something in our ridiculously overpriced market. I know A LOT of people who have done it. You'd probably find that she'll stay with her parents until she's paid off her home and then she will start looking to save and buy land to put her house on!

Hands down the best tiny house I’ve seen. Finally! Someone who has created a cosy and comfortable living space that isn’t just a thoroughfare in the middle of the house. That comfy loft space with the TV is just fabulous. Make me a carbon copy of this place and I’m in!

[@kitzbuheler]

What a wonderful home for a beautiful person. Fantastically designed, and I thought it was very reasonably price for the quality and size of the build. Once again Bryce you present a video that fills the heart with joy.

[@YTjndallas]

It’s really high quality and efficient design, but idk about the price. Seems a little high, lol. But I guess it depends where you are. I own this (Small, here.) 1,500sf, three bedroom, two car on 1/4 acre in Grand Prairie, Texas, and the value has quadrupled to $160k since I bought it cash in 2009. But this one is stuck in the ground, while she can move hers! She’s very pretty, btw.

The only thing (if it were mine, and this is just me) I would add some railings around two sides of the bed as I would feel like I might roll off the bed into the lounge room below or onto the stairs! But I'm a tottery old thing. You are very fortunate to have such a beautiful, tranquil place to park your tiny house. Love the dog, Phoebe is so cute.

Helen is fortunate in living on her parent's property. Her house is wonderful and very open. It seems spacious. By the way, the plants that have little round balls for leaves is called String of Pearls.

[@Psalm_27.4]

@Geraldine Fields in the "olden days," children didn't live so far from family. If their property was large enough, children built their homes on the same property. When the parents died, the children inherited the land, and the cycle continued. I think the orthodox Jews keep families together. It's a MYTH that being an adult means leaving home at 18! From what I understand, in orthodox Jewish culture, the man added on to his father's house when he got married. I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure it could be researched! Today, it's to the MARKET'S advantage that families DONT stick together!!! It's part of a systemically induced "ME, MYSELF, AND MINE" mentality, the economic DECLINE of families, and the RISE of HOMELESSNESS!
