She and her husband are so industrious--they're so blessed and fortunate to have so many skills which they have been able to use to build up their homestead--and they enjoy their hard work too. I so admire all the wonderful things they have built to live off the land and off grid in such a peaceful place. Just having a creek would be enough for me--love the comforting, serene sound of a flowing creek in the country.
I love every inch of this place! So many people would be so much happier if they would simply go back to doing things the way we used to. I admire everything you and your husband are doing, God bless you!
I love you, sis. You have a beautiful heart. I don't know you, but I feel that good people with beautiful hearts are rare. So, I wish you all the best with your life and husband. Thank you for the tour.
I'm so happy for this lady and her hubby. She lives VERY well with only a tiny fridge, becuz what she eats is mostly FRESH produce and really, what else does your body need? Hope her homestead runs well throughout the years and the family lives comfortably in retirement. Thanks for the video!
I love your content. I am African, i always tell my friends that one has to rescue him/herself. You cant complain without taking action to rescue yourself. I love the way you found ways to live a better life. Good thinking skills. Blessings to you.
FREEDOM is priceless!!! Bravo to this couple for breaking free of the corporate world & downsizing. 💪 Puppy is adorable & so happy running around freely. 💙
All those times you were laid off, it was a blessing and when it happened the last time and you quit, this was the time that it was meant to change your life for the better. What a wonderful homely and calm place you have made for yourselves. Well done to you both. We don't need a lot of stuff to be happy. We just need to live without stress and love what you have and are with. Your place is beautiful and you have such an aura and grace about you. Hope you do more videos for us to watch how you are doing.
This is the most inventive, original, creative design for tiny house living that I've ever seen. Kudos to you and your husband for all you're doing to keep life simple, yet complete!👍 Blessings and Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🙏🤗
This is lovely… while I personally couldn’t live this life I totally admire this couple for seeing some land that others would see as trash and they have found a way to resurrect it. The gardens look lovely and it’s amazing how much they already are supplementing the couples lifestyle but her ambition to get it to a much higher percentage is great!
lOVE THIS COUPLE ..this is a HOME ..its so great to have a partner that you live "on purpose" with ...it eliminates the need to be ostentatious and fill you space up with ego ..this is what I call "living true" ...live with what you REALLY need ...it has opened my eyes to redirect what I've designed for my future home ...it REALLY doesn't have to be ANYTHING like what we see .they've nailed it
What a brilliant setup! The creativity and practicality combination of this property is clever and aesthetically attractive. This is REAL living. Congratulations to you and your husband on your very many achievements. 🦋
What a great setup! And she's absolutely right - simplicity is a big key to joyful living. Homesteading is work, but it comes with a lot of freedom - including freedom from being laid off! Very inspiring video.
This is fantastic. So proud of y’all for learning on purpose to live w less. A few years ago we gave away 98% of our stuff-three houses worth-and moved into a very small 700’ square (not legit tiny) home. We do have the amenities, albeit no room for a dining table, but we are slowly learning to live without so much, and it is getting to feel so normal and healthy. We have a bit to go, but I see people constantly buying things-so much plastic and so many electronics and so much junk food-and I feel like we have come so far. We did move to a lot that is almost completely as if it is a gravel pit w an inch of top soil on it, full of fleas and rock, so we’ve had to put in raised beds and use whatever rock we dig up to create islands where we use cardboard and then add compost and top it off w mulch to try to at least start somewhere. It took us two and a half summers to get our first zinnia, to be honest, and we celebrated that little flower. It’s been so disappointing, but we are learning as much as we can w full time jobs and all that rock. Next place will hopefully, please the Lord, be more fertile and ready. For now, we are finding farms from which to purchase better food when we can and are getting better at reusing everything we can in whatever ways we can. It’s amazing how much clearer I can think now without all of that “noise” in my mind. Thank you for some really fantastic ideas that we can absolutely use now, even as renters. Coming soon-find some land of our own.
I’m h I love so much of this for you! And I agree I see so much waste in shopping too. I’m glad you got some ideas. And I wish you all the best in finding a perfect place for you to buy! 🎉❤
I've seen many of these tiny homes videos, and your entire set up is in my top 5. Everything about the house and homestead is amazing. I'm not sure how much of it I can do as I am partially disabled. You are living my dream. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us!
I do not blame you for quitting the corporate world. I left it a long time ago. Broke and happy instead of stressed and miserable ❤ love y'alls spot and house 😊
I am so impressed with what you guys have done on such small acreage. You are so right...we ALL could live without a lot of the things we have. Life could be so simple !
I love what they have done with a piece of land that was in such bad shape, they probably have worked their tails off, but the result is amazing. And she is right, we really don't need all the comforts we have become so dependent on to live a nice, peaceful, fruitful life.
Thank you so much ❤ we have worked hard but just one project at a time so it wasn’t too overwhelming. We love that is has become a beautiful place again 🌱💞😊
Wow. I'm so impressed with what you and your husband have accomplished in just a few years. Obviously you are a great team!! I'm also very happy for you. My best wishes and God's blessings.❤😊 Rebecca
Melanie and John: Making Magick happen one maverick moment after another! So amazing to see all these wonderful updates. Love it all, especially the garden, garden gates, and the Hobbit pantries! May the universe continue to empower the trailblazing as you light the way and steady the path for so many. Blessings!
Understandable this took you so much time. So carefully thought out, so amazing. Your serenity is what I admire most, you prioritize living over all else. Thanks so much for sharing...
Thank you 🙏 it helps that we have kept everything small and simple and functional on the acre. It looks so pretty when the gardens are all up and growing! ❤
This is one of the best place I've seen. I love every inch of this property. This couple has done a great job. This is an example of the way life should be lived. ❤❤❤
This is amazing love your story and what you have done with your property. This is what I want to do thank you for the inspiration. You have given me a better vision for what and how we want to build. God Bless you and keep you safe in your travels of this life.😊
Fabulous tiny. I absolutely love the way the house looks from the outside and also the 4 degree roof pitch that gives so much extra height. Fair play to you both for creating such a sustainable lifestyle for yourselves!
Super smart and resourceful couple. They know how to truly live without things they don't really need. I am impressed with how they set this tiny home up to allow them to actually retire someday. They took the reigns and took control of their lives. I wish I was that creative. Very inspiring!
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the compliments 🙏💞 it’s been so peaceful living with less and we are so thankful we made the choice to do this 💞 have a wonderful thanksgiving 🍁
I’ve found that you need to live in a space for a while before you can figure out how best to organize your home & store things. Plus, your needs & tastes change over time. Your home is beautiful. I’m glad that it’s working for you & your husband & that you’re happier. That’s such a blessing. Good for you 👍🏻💐❤️🇨🇦
I completely agree - we started with bare bones and added as we lived in it and changed it as we needed - it’s a huge help in a small space to build simple and grow into it! ❤ thank you so much for the comment. 💞🙏
I’m jealous - in a good way. Spending quality time with the person you care about is priceless. Your beautiful home and rustic property are amazing. Keep enjoying your life to the fullest!
I admire this couple so much. I’ve lived in the city all my life and was never an “outside” person. I would not be confident enough in learning the skills to grow and preserve my own food and to properly take care of the animals who maintain my sustenance. But it is my desire to convert to a minimalist lifestyle. Her website and book will definitely be a reference. I wish them a successful homestead life.
Thank you so much! I grew up in a city - Las Vegas actually! I have learned so much in this process so it’s definitely possible! Just one skill at a time so it isn’t overwhelming ❤ I hope you enjoy my books and the downsizing process. It is life changing 🥰 best of luck 🤞
Lovely video. You were clever enough to see the potential of the land. Well, septic, hydro but a lot of junk. Good for you to see all that and just went to work. A little paradise.
Thank you. This is such an attractive homeowner who expresses herself so well. The house is such a comfort. And to return the dustressed land to be useful,even in drought is affirmative. Makes mevthink whst i can fo without.
Thank you for the kind comment! ❤ we really love being able to make this land beautiful again and have a wonderful place for our tiny home ❤ thanks for watching ❤
Wow! This couple is amazing at what they have done. I think that this one I have enjoyed watching more that any❤! Can’t wait to follow you and see what you do!
Wow Mel and Jon y’all have a beautiful homestead! I’ve seen pictures of most of it, it was fun to see how to see is on video. Thanks for all the hard work you in the tiny universe.
@ that’s very cool and nice to know. I know a lot of tiny dwellers in those communities! So many wonderful people 🩷🥰I hope you love it! And wish you all the best!
Thank you. Yes for sure, it takes a lot of time and work to bring a property back and we have had a lot to do. ❤ it’s pretty now … but lol it was such a mess 😂
This is wonderful. Bless you and your home. I worked 40 years and was laid off because of automation. My home is in disrepair. I love your tiny home concept. Bless you and husband.
Great job 👏 Melanie! I’ve followed you on FB for a few years now and have seen all that you’ve done on your property. It’s nice to see everything presented in this video. I love ❤️ your place. ❤❤❤
I'm happy for you and your husband. Time is precious, so you made a wise decision. Love your little house. It's nice and cozy. Wish I had one myself. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing. 🤩
This makes my heart happy ♥My adventure is similar in ways. We became debt free during covid with all those checks they sent out. We lived in Washington state and buying a house there was ridiculous! We started looking elsewhere for a livable fixer upper. We moved in 2023 to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we love it. We bought a house on almost 1/2 an acre for $23,000 and paid cash. We have lots of plans to become more self-reliant. We also have chickens, 5 hens and 1 rooster which is almost too much eggs for just the two of us but it allows us to sell a couple dozen to earn back the cost of feed for them. Essentially they have paid for themselves. I now work very part-time as a substitute teacher which I love and my husband has retired. However he has tons of things to keep him busy! Stay blessed Copeland Family!
Oh my goodness I love this for you so much! It’s an amazing feeling to be debt free! And a huge congratulations 🎉 for that! I’m very happy for you guys too! ❤
Thanks 😊 it definitely takes time! We just do one thing at a time and finish and then the next but it has taken years. You got this! 🙌💞 thanks for watching ❤
This is what the average person should be able to do. What a great story!!!

Thank you so very much ❤
I came here to say this !
"Small electric appliances are a huge trick and blessing-few people realize that!"
I love how they built it for their own life and there is nothing pretentious about it. Comfortable and practical.
Thank you 😊
"Small electric appliances are a huge trick and blessing-few people realize that!"

You are so very kind 🙏💞 thank you ❤
I feel the same. We would be great friends.
I'm so happy for this lady and her hubby. She lives VERY well with only a tiny fridge, becuz what she eats is mostly FRESH produce and really, what else does your body need? Hope her homestead runs well throughout the years and the family lives comfortably in retirement. Thanks for the video!

We bought a house on almost 1/2 an acre for $23,000 and paid cash. We have lots of plans to become more self-reliant. We also have chickens, 5 hens and 1 rooster which is almost too much eggs for just the two of us but it allows us to sell a couple dozen to earn back the cost of feed for them. Essentially they have paid for themselves.
I now work very part-time as a substitute teacher which I love and my husband has retired. However he has tons of things to keep him busy! Stay blessed Copeland Family!
Oh my goodness I love this for you so much! It’s an amazing feeling to be debt free! And a huge congratulations 🎉 for that! I’m very happy for you guys too! ❤
