The Houses: The Lighthouse
October 17, 2018





One of the great aspects of Tiny Estates is our full-time residents living in our small community.  People from different backgrounds, ages, and experiences in life.  Most recently, Ryan and Sarah Wennell have joined us bringing with them their 32' custom Liberation Tiny Homes built tiny house.  They settled in at the far end of the property with a south facing view of the lower fishing pond. 

The house is beautiful and displays a variety of exterior finishes.  The sign on the house has the name "Lighthouse" carved in it, representing the name they chose for their home.  "The name Lighthouse to us is a reminder to clear our minds and remember what means the most to us in this world: relationships," is what they told us about what the name means to them and why they chose it. 

Both Ryan and Sarah have graduated from Ursinus College as well as Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine and have backgrounds in Sports Medicine.  Sarah has a focus on nutrition, and Ryan works locally as a physician.  They will bring their knowledge and experience to help form and run a community garden for our residents.  This will be a wonderful and healthy addition to the property and we look forward to their future contributions.

On the inside of the Lighthouse you will find full size kitchen appliances, dual lofts, one being an office, custom tile in the bathroom as well as a full-size claw foot tub. And as of a few days ago you will now find a small timid Australian Shepard puppy named "Latch", all the way from Utah, romping about the house. 

If you aren't sure about sharing a small space with your significant other, Ryan and Sarah have this to say, "So many people think tiny home living would drive them and their significant other away from each other but actually it has brought us closer together as a couple".

The Houses: The Low Country September 9, 2018  Many of you maybe already familiar with the Low Country. It made a quite an impression when it arrived here at Tiny Estates, and for good reason. This tiny house has big personality and lots of rustic style. Built on a 39 ½’ gooseneck trailer, this low country rustic timber home has plenty of space with 379sq ft of space to call home. When you open the custom wood door and walk in, you get a beautiful aroma of fresh cut lumber. Everyone walks in and takes in a big whiff, breathe it in, it’s awfully nice. You’ll be amazed at the custom-built wood cabinetry with built wine glass holder, granite counter tops and full-size appliances. If you ever wanted to try tiny, but thought you couldn’t handle a tight space, this is the house for you! Custom wood floors, walls and ceilings lend a masculine feel to the interior with rustic touches of décor throughout. Custom bucket light shades and a fabulously tiled and stone bathroom

The Houses:   The Skyline The Skyline is one of the newest additions to our already great lineup of tiny homes.   But if you are looking for something a little different, this house has some great unique features. 274sq ft doesn’t seem like a lot of space, but you will be surprised at how well this space has been designed.   It sleeps up to 6 people with two queen lofts and a fold out sofa. Both loft spaces are unique with two different and unique sets of steps to access the lofts. One loft has walk up stairs that wind along the wall and up to the sleeping area with a queen bed.   The other has a different type of stairs that almost appear floating, those are pictured below that leads to the loft where there is a custom live edge wood piece that serves as an artful headboard and queen bed. At 24’ long and 8.5 wide, you will not feel like you are in a compact space.   The bright blue color stands out against the natural landscape and green of the trees surrounding

UPDATE: Brandi and Jon's Tiny Home Journey We first introduced you to Brandi and Jon in December 2018.  They are on their journey to tiny house ownership, and it’s been about two months and we want to give you an update on where they are in their process. When we last blogged about Brandi and Jon, they were scheduled to have a settlement on their 2000sq ft home on January 25th.  Just prior to this, they were informed that the buyer’s buyer had backed out of their offer on their home they were selling, and the buyers could no longer move forward with settlement on Brandi and Jon’s home.  This was a devastating blow to them both, as they all just took huge steps in this exciting yet scary process.  The family already paired down their large home, giving away almost all of their big furniture and many important items to family and friends, so now what? In the meantime, they took their son, Nate, back to college in New York after winter break, and then the coup
