Hannah and Scott transformed their 55-by-90-foot lot into a vibrant micro homestead. First, they added a tool shed with a small pole barn, perfect for home remodeling projects. Next came the she-shed, which connects to their tiny home via a deck. It’s used as a cat-friendly lounge, laundry room, and walk-in closet.

Their tiny house micro homestead also includes an evolving chicken coop with an attached enclosure. Additionally, Scott built an outdoor kitchen and dining area. It currently just has a small grill, but they plan to make it a more fully functional cooking space. They already have hydroponics tower gardens nearby, so they can easily pick greens and herbs to use in their home-cooked meals.

Amazingly, Scott and Hannah’s entire tiny house micro homestead cost about $100,000. The Peacewind lot came to $57,000. They scored an incredible deal on their preowned home on wheels, just $25,000. However, it did need a fair amount of work, like completely re-doing the bathroom. Scott and Hannah are beyond grateful for their affordable setup. It’s less than a third of the cost of a traditional home in the area.
