Tiny living is an increasingly popular way of life nowadays, as more people defy societal expectations and go against the “bigger is better” trend to reduce their environmental footprint and live a simpler, more intentional life.
Apart from narrowing the living space, thanks to their portable nature, tiny houses on wheels bring with them more freedom to live in a closer connection with nature and encourage dwellers to pay more attention to how they relate to the environment. Compact homes built with sustainable materials are cost-effective alternatives to traditional brick-and-mortar houses, reducing environmental impact, minimizing the owner’s personal footprint, and generally promoting a minimalist and more sustainable lifestyle. And the best thing about micro-houses is what is not included, namely the hefty mortgage and the endless maintenance tasks.

If you’re in the market for a unique, sustainable mobile home that would allow you and your family to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle away from the noise of city living, this pre-owned tiny home with a contemporary exterior and a rustic, all-wood interior might be worth your attention.

Built in 2022, this compact adobe is a custom design and the listing on the Tiny House Marketplace does not mention the manufacturer, but it is touted as an “eco-friendly, non-toxic” solution to your housing woes. It was meticulously crafted with simplicity and functionality in mind, but every detail of the design, from the unusual layout to the materials used, has been carefully considered to create a cozy, sustainable family home.

It was meticulously crafted with simplicity and functionality in mind, but every detail of the design, from the unusual layout to the materials used, has been carefully considered to create a cozy, sustainable family home.

Blending elegant minimalism and coziness, this home offers everything a family needs for a comfortable downsized lifestyle, including cozy sleeping spaces, modern appliances, and even laundry facilities. The use of natural materials gives it a warm, inviting feel, while the abundance of windows provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors in any weather.

The heart of this home is the compact kitchen, which provides access to all the other areas. But as you step inside through the main entrance, there is also a small foyer with shoe storage in the entryway and two small benches across from it, offering seating for guests who have just stepped in.

The cooking area is quite compact for a 35-foot-long tiny home but impresses with its old-world look and high functionality. A Galanz 12 cu-ft fridge, a Duxtop portable induction cooktop with two hobs, a toaster oven, and a huge apron-style copper sink with a water filtration system ensure you can cook decent meals for your family.

But apart from its utility, the kitchen stands out with its rustic, timeless look, highlighted by the materials used in its construction. The PureBond plywood cabinets (formaldehyde free) are beautifully adorned with cherry drawer pulls and hand-engraved geometric knobs for the doors; the birch butcher block countertops look solid and stylish, while the hardwood open shelves complete this classic look.

A standout feature that adds style to the space is a wooden honeycomb wall shelf that can be used to display plants, framed pictures, and other decorative items. Even though they give off an old-school vibe, all these wooden elements, with their natural, rough finishes and different textures, give the space a distinct personality. A tiny wood-burning stove is also neatly incorporated in the common area downstairs.

Right next to the kitchen, a reverse loft configuration reveals a bedroom on the ground floor with a raised platform that fits a queen-size mattress and has two large drawers underneath. Due to its location, this sleeping space is completely open, so privacy is limited. A short flight of stairs leads to a cozy lounge with a custom convertible sofa that is also made from wood and turns into a bed when needed. Windows on three sides of this room make it bright and airy.

But the main bedroom inside this house is in the master loft at the other end of the house. It occupies the area above the bathroom and home office, so it’s quite spacious and houses a plush king-size mattress, plus various shelves that maximize the use of the available space for your belongings. A wooden wall and a slatted railing separate it from the rest of the house, ensuring some much-needed privacy.

There is one more sleeping space inside this home, and it’s in the home office. Smartly configured with a full-height corner bookshelf, a small desk, and a single bed, this separate room is designed with multifunctionality in mind and has its own entrance door for direct access from the outside. The built-in bed also has integrated storage, and just like the rest of the house, everything is made of wood.

The pass-through bathroom is also meticulously designed with a focus on both aesthetics and functionality. The walls are finished in Grecian marble tile, while the flooring is covered in river rock, and a huge copper clawfoot bathtub is the focal point. Custom linen cabinets, a vanity with a small handmade ceramic sink and copper faucet, a washer/dryer combo, collapsable wall laundry drying racks, and a Separett Villa composting toilet complete the design.

If you’ve been looking for a chic family tiny home with a rustic, traditional appearance, this pre-owned build might be the answer you’ve been searching for. It is focused on minimalism and sustainability but still provides everything a growing family would need for a comfortable, downsized life. This eco-friendly home is available in Ashland, Oregon, with an asking price of $175,000.
