In this episode of Living Big In A Tiny House, we meet a fascinating couple who have managed to retire early by embracing the tiny house lifestyle. Originally from America, they found themselves in New Zealand after their plans to move to Scotland fell through due to Brexit. Determined to find affordable land, they settled in an off-grid community where they built their dream tiny house on three and a half acres of picturesque land. The house, aptly named Tiny House 2.0, is a single-level sanctuary that perfectly blends in with the natural landscape using timber and iron sand steel. It's a real-life example of how downsizing can lead to a life of freedom and simplicity.
The heart of this tiny house is the kitchen, a space that holds particular significance for the couple who retired as chefs. With ample bench space, a top-notch oven, hob, and clever storage solutions, this kitchen is a chef's dream come true. But what truly sets this kitchen apart is the ingenious setup for fizzy water using a restaurant-sized CO2 tank - a stroke of genius for those who, like the couple, live for the refreshing bubbles. The open design of the house, complete with high ceilings, skylights, and a large window connecting the indoors with the outdoors, creates a sense of spaciousness and tranquility.
The living area features a custom wraparound couch with hidden storage underneath for blankets and quilts made by Jennifer's mom. Sharing their space with Iggy, their deaf dog, adds an extra layer of warmth and companionship to this tiny house haven. Outside, a cozy fire pit and a ceramic egg grill provide the couple with the perfect setting for outdoor cooking and relaxation. The house, including a porch, spans about 750 square feet and sits on a trailer placed on screw piles, showcasing a clever and practical approach to tiny house living. From their journey into tiny house living to the thoughtful design of their home, this couple's story is a testament to the idea that true wealth lies in reclaiming our time and embracing a simpler way of life.
