This Epic Tiny House & Land Cost A Fraction Of The Average Home And Is Way Better!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2023
- Amidst ultra-high house prices, it’s great to know there are still achievable ways of getting into your own home and your own land. This brilliant off-grid tiny house, designed for family life, is spacious, functional and has everything this young family needs.
It’s parked up on communal land, which Paula and Boyd have bough a share in, giving them long-term security with their parking spot. Around their tiny house they grow their own vegetable gardens and have even planted a food forest. Beyond the borders of their garden, they have access to hundreds of acres of communal land, for which they have taken responsibility of the conservation program.
Their home is self-sufficient and off the grid, with an impressive solar system and abundant rainwater collection. This, coupled with the gardens means that overhead costs of running the home and feeding the family can remain relatively low.
Between the house and the land, they have been able to construct an incredible family home for only a fraction of the cost of the average, yet in truth, have also got a tremendous amount more than you would get with an ordinary home.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this beautiful tiny home. To follow Paula and Boyd's journey, you can find them on Instagram: / thebohemiannz

This is a seriously cool tiny house! It's another which is located at the tiny house community we featured in last weeks episode. If you missed that, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/pyodF1pRHZo/v-deo.html - There's a lot to love about this brilliant home that Paula and Boyd have created for their family. We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
Can you tell me who built their home?
@@SMS9155 I’m pretty sure it’s built by Shaye’s Tiny Homes
I was just wondering if they were part of Franiko's community since they had mentioned that someone did Festivals and alot of the arial shots looked familiar and you answered that question for me here... Such a beautiful community to live in.
@@jessdavis2926 Thank you sincerely for answering my question. I've been giving it some real serious thought of selling my stick home and living tiny and I really liked the layout of this one. Much appreciated.
Absolutely lovely! And hope that you'll shoot a sequel after a year to be updated on their progress with their projects. It would also be nice if you could have episodes on the community as a whole. How do they function? Many tiny home owners would love to be part of a community.
Thanks Bryce and Rasa. Keep going 😊
I love how you don't just jump into the house and start talking about that. The initial connection with the people and who they are and what their about and why tiny living is just as important as the home they live in.
I enjoy your videos so much.
I also like it
Hello Llory LIoyd how are you doing today
Really like the floorplan of this one, with the kitchen centered and the lounge on the end, better than the typical arrangement which is usually the reverse. I feel like a central lounge always suffers a bit from being in the middle of the traffic pattern, but this layout solves that problem nicely, allowing the kitchen to flow smoothly to the outdoors. Well done!
Totally agree
My thoughts exactly.....n especially the 2 bedroom ...really love that...
I am watching this before I sleep so that I can have a tiny house dream... Good Night
Sweet tiny house dreams!
I believe this is the Sophie design by Shaye’s Tiny Homes… she really is the top tiny home designer in my opinion. Just stunning 🙌
Thanks for the tip!
Definitely looks like a Shaye’s Tiny Home!
I'm so glad you mentioned who made this gorgeous home because I was dying to find out😂❤
Great to know, thankyou
Thank you ❤
thx i was thinking the same and wonder why they didn't mention that
Having a tiny home is my dream for retirement in 2024.
I hope you achieve your dream.😊
I did and I love it! The best advice I can give you is to start purging now! It is not easy but I have never felt so free! Best wishes 🙏❤️
@@karengossett1475 purging is a must. Going to spend this summer doing exactly that. Decluttering is a great form of di-stressing your life. Great advice...thank you.
@@bonniepwtf thank you. My sister and husband just purchased a home with 25 acres in Alabama and they are open to me putting a home on their property. I can't wait.
@@rosekisiel3383 Very, very cool. It's something I would have enjoyed doing.
A wonderful self sufficient family of 4. Our kids are a bit older now but picking up plenty of ideas for downsizing and living a similar life when they are old enough to move away. The views are breathtaking too. Absolutely love it. Thanks for showing us around it Rasa and Bryce. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed this episode and are getting some ideas! All the best to you too! :)
If you have thee opportunity don’t do stairs, it’s the one thing I wish I had done differently. They are not welcoming to old age. 😊
@@leahbaker1724 Very good point and true! Cheers!
We live a short life, I think we can do anything at any age for as long as It makes u feel happy
I am totally blown away with this tiny house! This is exactly what I would want hook, line and sinker! This young couple is lovely and having two tiny girls - I'll bet those girls will really have a wonderful life growing up there! Good luck to them both and thanks for trying to save our planet and be self-sufficient! Thanks much Bryce & Rasa! Well done!
I wasn't sure about the kitchen layout but when I realised that that section could simply roll out of the way or onto the decking I was completely sold!! A home of complete happiness and a couple full of joy, absolutely wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
Technology had to catch up before the hippie dream of the 1960s could become real. Now it's here and we have to embrace it. Another excellent video.
That’s my most favourite design yet. Girls are adorable.👋🏻🇨🇦🐉👩🏼⚖️
😍
You really need to love Shaye’s designs!
I have never commented on a UA-cam video, but I’m concerned about the decking attached to this beautiful tiny house. In most parts of Canada any deck must have fencing/railing if the deck/patio is more than 42 inches above the ground. The patio appeared higher than that to me. Willow would be hurt if she danced off the edge. Even 42” is too high for a little one! Love the channel!!
Bewildering isn’t it. Love the design of the house but come on, this is an accident waiting to happen!
they have only been there 3mths? and with a new baby! If it were me I'd put some garden boxes/seats round the edge
I love that this channel features tiny houses that are higher end and also those more budget friendly. Not everyone who wants to go tiny wants to, or needs to, do it on a budget. It’s all individual and adds a nice variety to life 😊
This was such a gorgeous episode. The families little dance at the end so adorable.. 🥰 Wishing them all the best.
Hello Nixie Moon how are you doing today
Wow, Paula and Boyd..You home is absolutely gorgeous....I love where your living room is ..tucked out of the way while your kitchen is in the center of your home makes perfect sense... your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous...that bread looked amazing...the bathroom has lots of space and it awesome...love the catwalk and both bedrooms are beautiful...growing your own veggies and fruit is satisfying and no pesticides. Your land is gorgeous and your porch is such an amazing addition ...❤ Be Safe and Be Blessed ...Congratulations on your new baby ....
Its such an inspiration
Hello how are you doing today
Loved this whole episode. Loved the tiny house and the people. Brought lots of smiles and a few chuckles to me. Really needed that so this episode was perfect timing for me. Thx you.
The center kitchen is a nifty, welcoming touch. Side note: cute kiddos.
Hello how are you doing today
Very nice home.. The land is to die for, just beautiful!
It's a beautiful home but what scares me is the drop from the decking for the kids
I thought of that, too. Afraid the kids would be running around, not paying attention, and fall off.
Hello how are you doing today
Phenomenal design, love the all the white.
This house checks a-l-l the boxes...except for one...no wood stove. Coming from a colder climate, I love those😊😉 LOVE the upstairs walkway & the real stairs (no monkeys required). I don't know why other tiny home designers don't use the catwalk idea. (Interesting choice...queen bed for a teeny girl. Think of how much more play space she'd have w/ a smaller bed...) If the designer sells plans, could we have contact info? Hopefully more people will do the community living thing. What a great idea!
Very true! Nothing makes a home cosier than a wood stove! That being said, this region of New Zealand is pretty warm year round and tiny houses are so easy to heat. Most of the time, if I light my wood stove, I end up cooking myself out of the tiny house and need to open up all the windows!
i believe the designer is shaye's tiny homes... i recognized the layout immediately. i think the layout is called sophie? i love shaye's homes - they're so well thought out!
@@livingbig hi can i ask what is the size of this tiny house? And can you send the floor plan
This is epic!! It is in a whole class different from a tiny house. I don't even think most people who live in smaller homes would notice the difference. It's pricey, but worth it.
Love the design of this home very practical with children
What a gorgeous house!!
The huge deck, gardening area, amazing interiors, breathtaking parking spot and a very beautiful family😍
Everything about this tiny house is stunning!💚
This home was easily one of the best designs I've ever seen on this channel. Putting the kitchen in the centre is soooo much better than the sides! Great job on designing this home!
New Zealanders say "yeah" alot. 😂
Another amazing place! Thank you for sharing this home and their beautiful vision!
Very cool
Hello Eliane how are you doing today
I love this tiny home, awesome bathroom design. All of it is so functional and beautiful! And the spot they are on is spectacular! I think New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Willow and Winter are beautiful but unusual names -- I especially like 'Willow'.
Love this house also. The layout of the kitchen, bath, bedrooms, and livingroom nook, as well as the surrounding land and landscape also.
This is so incredible Bryce! Would love a whole video (or several) that explore community set ups like this, and discuss what models they use, guidelines etc ! You would do such justice to the topic ❤
I just smiled so big during this segment! Seeing them so happy just made me so happy and happy for them! What a genuinely gentle and kind couple with sweet little girls ( and I'm not a kid person, I like cats and dogs, lol!). They will grow up so loved by their family and community and will benefit from this environment! Beautiful home with THE perfect layout! Great job as always, Rasa and Bryce! You two know how to bring out the best in a presentation! You and Boyd could be brothers hair wise and names! Lol! Thank you for a lovely time while I ate my loaded salad! 😊
I love their tiny house. It has one of the best layouts i have ever seen
I love the design of the living room! The different pitches in the ceiling are so cool & modern! And, it's very private, something you don't usually see in tiny homes.
A gorgeous family with beautiful values and what an amazing place for their kids to grow up. Gorgeous tiny house!
I saw the empty space from where the washing machine was in the bathroom and immediately thought it would make a great vanity space! And would take minimal effort to create that.
Amazing home and lovely family.
I've been enjoying watching these tiny home videos in an effort to live off grid and sustainably in the coming future.
This was such a joy to watch - what a beautiful and wonderful home they have in that community! I'm happy for them, and I hope this beautiful little family has many happy years there.
Love the Sophie Design by Shaye, works really well with the kitchen in the middle. Awesome deck guys, that is an amazing addition to a tiny, and what an incredible spot, love love love it!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful family. I love their home so much. Its bright, and look so spacious even though its a tiny house. Talking about good design. The kitchen as a centerpiece is brilliant. I love how they put dried flowers here and there. Lovely touch.
Love the idea of the kitchen in the middle. I grew up entertaining in the kitchen. Best way to do that.
Lovely family in a cozy tasteful home! And what an amazing community and country..all the credits go to New Zealanders who have kept their country so beautiful and natural!
What a beautiful home and family. I wish this type of living was allowed in the US. Good luck to all of you
Beautiful floor plan. And no crawling into bed upstairs. All Tiny Homes with stairs should have ceilings high enough to stand in. 😊💕🙏🏼
Probably the nicest/best all-around tiny home I've seen. The land, the community, the home, the incredible deck, fully off grid, self-sustaining. Well done, Paula and Boyd!
370 seems like an exorbitant amount of money for a tiny house, until you think about the fact that they own the land, the water catchment system, the solar (both of which there’s no ongoing bills for) and the support that they get with everybody else living there. Amazing!
Beautiful home and adorable children. Congrats and best of luck to this family; they have a beautiful foundation on which to build their lives.
what a happy life so simple and so lovely. and so wonderful for the girls to grow up so connected to the land. it is inspiring to see the joy possible with tiny house living in a community!
Brilliant layout and the colour scheme (or lack thereof) only increases the resale value.
I love this family and their cozy home.
I really like having the kitchen in the middle. Great design. And a wonderful community
Agree with you Ellen. First time I've seen the kitchen in the middle. What a difference to not have wheels...
Never seen such a spacious tiny house before ❤❤❤
Hi Bryce and Rasa. Great to keep up with your videos. I have tried watching a few other channels, but I keep coming back to only yours. Maybe it is predominantly the NZ/Aus base being more relatable, but definitely your presentation of each home is a major part of the decision. Keep up the good work.
Finally, I can say that's the best build, following this show for so long. Extraordinary view, great interior design, the garden area also awesome. The vast and beautiful world is the home we share together . Be your own kind of beautiful .Thanks for Bryce and Rasa for this golden opportunity to saw such a great build home.😃 Dream to make such home come true..... 💖🌷🌷🌷💖
These young people have an awesome living setup!! Beautiful home being off grid in a communal environment is the way everyone should be thinking of living!! ✌️❤️
Hello how are you doing today
Im seeing a steady trend moving towards this kind of tiny community living in a beautiful setting. And it is just wonderful. It is like a storybook dream.
I love this tiny house
It’s my dream to have my own land and house
And this design it’s perfect ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Can't beat a bush find, living off the land its what tiny living is all about!
This place rocks! What a wonderful the house is so well designed for a family too. The carport add-on is spectacular! ❤️
A beautiful home and I love the co-op arrangement of the community!
Some homes make you feel so welcome and relaxed, this home and location, the way it's set out, is one of those, and those kids are seriously adorable.
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful family 🙏💝 Yes the home they have created is gorgeous, but they are the stars of this video. Many blessings to all 🙏💕
This home and lovely family is so inspiring! What a wonderful place to raise a family.
Love this layout. Stunning home.
Beautiful family, beautiful home, beautiful community, beautiful tour...you just made my evening perfect. Thank you!
This the best designed tiny house ever! Beautifully executed….❤
I believe i saw a gap between the deck roof and the house; I wonder how that does during rain🤔
Beautiful home and beautiful family! Thank you and Namaste.
Nice place. I like the stairs up, the upper walkway, and the way extra headroom is achieved with the layout. Nice folks too.
Lovely loaf of bread, family and home.
OMG my mind is blown! Talk about living the dream, holy hecka!
using "Holy Hecka!" tomorrow 3X.! thanks for that.
4:26 - The trampoline is dangeroulsy too close to the edge. I’m clumsy when I wake up, so I can imagine myself falling off with my coffee as I seat under the gazebo with a newspaper in my hand 😂
15:34 - Whaaaaaat 😂
Wonderful house and couple/kids to match ! Please secure your deck SURROUND and make it kiddy proof 😘
I enjoy watching your tiny home videos.
He does such a great job!
I love this family, this house, the garden, and the countryside ❤!
What a cute couple. Absolutely beautiful home. What a great way to live and great place for children to grow up.
Wow I watch this channel all the time and never noticed this video! Best layout yet, love this! And did anyone remember Paula was a Silver Fern!! 🥰👌🏽 Awesome whare guys thanks for sharing
In a world with conspicuous consumption mega mansions, it's nice to see these wonderful homes. Living beyond our means is wasteful. I would love to be able to start again like this couple.
Beautiful..just loving the tiny house communities. Simple life and off the grid ❤️❤️ thanks Bryce and Rasa for sharing
I love the layout of this house - it looks so much bigger than it actually is! Really well-done. The deck is also gorgeous but the one thing that would keep my up at night as a worry-wart mum is the lack of railing. It would probably never be a problem, but all it takes is one moment of not concentrating...
It's a glass railing.
Hello how are you doing today
Beautiful home, beautiful children and beautiful couple, what more could you ask for? Tfs.
Such a lovely couple, such a great interview. They're so 'la' given a 2 yo and 3 month old. But therein lies the difference between a mortgage, shit you don't need, the kids don't need, and teaching them how to do it themselves. Bravo.❤
Beautiful home, beautiful family...Thanks for the video!
I'm a foodie so any house where the kitchen is the center of the house gets my vote!! Haha!
I love their tiny home. I love the family happy and jolly, what more could you ask for. Thank God, they are very inspiring. Thank you Bryce for this feature. Now gotta save money to build my own tiny home.
I have to acknowledge how much I enjoyed seeing this lovely family and their amazing home! Having said that I am really excited to see this community again. I am very interested in helping to make something like this happen where I live. We have a displaced workforce and this would be a great way to help more of the people who work here be able to afford to live here. Thank you for another inspirational video!
Don't know how to express my feelings on going thru this beautiful video. The family is adorable, Bryce , you bring out the best from the people you meet! ❤️ love this tiny house channel. Thanks a lot Bryce n Rasa!!!
The key to tiny homes is a generous outdoor space for sure. And a bambaloo...
WOW! Just when you think we've seen pretty much every Tiny version, along comes another brilliant and beautiful layout! Loved this video Bryce and Rasa x
This is the best tiny house layout I’ve seen!
What a beautiful home, so bright and spacious! The children have a beautiful space to grow up in. I love their life style!
Everything absolutely amazing: home, rewilding, community... everyone should live like this! ❤
Beautiful home for beautiful people ❤
This is the most beautiful, well designed tiny house for a family, I have ever seen! Amazing layout, seems like a perfect fit.
Im 21 and your videos changed my ideas of what it means to own a home. Now i want a tiny home of my own
I would love to see more of this globally, in colder climates and with retirement communities too. What a wonderful family, home and tiny living community. 💚
Hello how are you doing today
This tiny house and the land around it is just so beautiful! Definitely one of my favourites !
This is the best tiny house layout I've ever seen. Having the kitchen in the middle and the lounge at one end makes each room more versatile.
