The Houses: The Chairman

June 30, 2018

The first house in our new blog series, "The Houses", is the “Chairman” and it’s quite an appropriate name for this tiny dwelling.  It may be tiny in size but is big in character.  The chairman sits quietly just off the water at the entrance to Tiny Estates, and much like a chairman who oversees, this Chairman oversees the front of the property.

The name of this home was chosen by Dan Hobson, who is a developing partner and Chairman of the Board of Tiny Estates.  When you visit, or see pictures of our homes, you will notice wooden signs hanging on each house.  The signs feature the name of the house and below the name is the person for whom the house was named for.  

The Chairman, which is also known by its builder as, the Blue Heron, is quite unique in that it is ten feet wide, whereas almost all tiny homes on wheels, are 8.5' by restriction of travel laws.  Built by Blue Sky Tiny Homes in Indiana, this home is 27' long and is 270 square feet. Due to the extra width, it required special permits and transportation to travel here from Indiana. The Chairman didn’t come easy.  After obtaining all the special permits required for the long trip, from the Midwest, to PA, Blue Skye began the long haul.  Part way through, the truck hauling the house began having mechanical issues and shortly thereafter was out of commission. The Chairman was now stuck in transit and new permits needed to be filed and obtained for the house to be transported by the new truck, which took an additional week.  So, it was quite a journey.

This big box design has tall 13.6' open ceilings and lots of windows that allow in natural light and a beautiful pond view.  Often you will find many mallard ducks resting under the shade of a tree in the front yard area.  There are two sleeping lofts and a fold out sleeping couch in the living room.  One loft is reached by normal steps with built in storage, and the other is a loft with ladder.  The kitchen is practically full size, featuring a larger refrigerator, dishwasher and full-size range, as well as, a custom- built kitchen island, that converts into a dining table for four.  The kitchen island/table conversion is great for meals, extra counter space, family game night or a nice desk if you are here working. Can you see yourself sipping a nice cup of tea or coffee sitting on the bench by the big window enjoying the sunrise?  The lush green grasses out front by the pond would make a great spot for some morning yoga or exercise.  The house also features a large bathroom with a washer/dryer combo and walk in shower with a seat.  The Chairman can sleep 5-6 people and is a perfect house for someone who loves a view of nature and enjoys lots of natural light.

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 bath...

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 gr...

The Houses:  The Escape Houses number 32 and 33 rolled in not that long ago.  Both coming from the tiny home builder, Liberation Tiny Homes. We have several houses onsite already from Liberation and but these two are quite unique. The Escape is black and gray on the exterior and is the modern version of the Rumspringa.  Similar to the farmhouse originally, but the roof is a shed style roof more like the roof a modern.  The house has lovely wood accent pieces throughout including a custom made headboard mounted on the wall in the loft and a wood feature on the end of the loft that extends onto the ceiling. Some have already said that the wood pieces on the loft and ceiling resemble bars in a jail cell and the dark colors of gray and black don't necessarily jive with the name the Escape, but it seems fitting for this new tiny. The cupboards are black and have gold knobs and handles that really stand out. We see an updated refrigerator with a fr...
