Tiny House Eco-Village / Mortgage Free, Self Sufficient, Off Grid Community!!!

I took a visit to go to SMS Eco-Village outside of Ashville N.C. to get some tiny home tips. This small village was setup to be a debt free, self sustainable group with a big backyard and neighborhood shower and restroom. I heard them say that these wood 100 sq ft tiny homes only cost about $10,000. This is one method to stay debt free and close to nature. A more hassle-free life. Way to go guys!!!!

  1. They are too small. I live in a simple house that would be considered much
    smaller than the norm. These are just beyond human limits. I’d love to hear
    how folks get on though. But they are too small.

  2. I think its a great idea like you said one or two people max but again
    living 5 feet from your neighbour is what I am entirely trying to remedy.
    Also, these are not possible in our province, you have to first build (or
    one must exist on the property) a 1000 square foot house before they allow
    you to put these up. And even at that, they may cry about it being over
    8’2″ with loft. Hard reality in Canada but so be it.

  3. Once the garden is in, you should consider putting in a beehive. You’d
    easily be able to produce enough honey for you all, as long as you had
    plenty for the bees to eat year-round. They’ll greatly increase the
    pollination of your fruit trees, resulting in a better yield every year.
    Plant some scented natives between the toilet block and the ‘village’ to
    keep the smell pleasant. Good luck! I’d love to be involved in something
    this awesome (but I think I’d struggle living in anything so small).

  4. I will support you sir. The more you own, the more you have to care for and
    the less time you have for life. LESS IS MORE AND MORE IS LESS.

  5. Do you live there? I’ve been researching the Tiny Home Movement. I think
    300 square feet is good for me and most that want to make the move. That is
    not a trailer built house though…that would need county zoning
    approval…blah blah. You know what I’m saying. Nice community bro!

  6. sure..i’ll gather up all my loose change and dig thru the sofa and head
    right down there lol I will probably be about $1994 short tho .

  7. I don’t speak as an outsider. I too live this way. However, my flat has
    much more room. I think there is a limit. Your houses could have built much
    larger and more comfortable for very little extra cost.

  8. I could live in a tiny house with a washroom and a little piece of land..
    but shared washroom? when it’s raining and snowing? really? Why not put 4
    metres between each house? Do they photograph better pushed together.. do
    you like hearing your neighbours fuck? Come on guys, what a depressing
    community.

  10. 10,000.00 dollars are you serious??? you could do a lot more with that much
    cash! I just could not live in one of those huts, I love the idea of tiny
    homes and all but this is a bit much and very reminiscent of a Commune type
    situation rather than a community , Kinda Scary! Sorry
