Little boxes on the hillside

Z-Glass Tiny House

I'm a huge real estate geek. I'm constantly looking up real estate in other cities to get a feel for the market and see pictures of the city's interior and exterior styles. The other night, as I was looking at Asheville, NC real estate I stumbled upon a development project for a Tiny House residential community. Curious, I googled the tiny house project and discovered "Tumbleweed Tiny Houses."

I know some people might think I'm insane, but I think the concept of Tiny Houses is a great thing. In our culture we hoard onto too many things, waste too much energy on our over-sized houses, and buy furniture to simply fill up space. These Tiny Houses range anywhere from $16,000 to $60,000 to build, and some can actually be delivered ready-made. For a lot of the Houses, building plans can be purchased so that a homeowner can physically built his or her house.

I think I could definitely live in one of the small houses. A regular tiny house would be a great idea for an inexpensive vacation residence in the mountains or countryside. I would love to check these houses out in person!
