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
