Tiny House In a Landscape

by
Phantom Ranch

I grew up in Arizona and made quite a few visits to the Grand Canyon, both the North Rim and the South Rim. I never did more than a short hike or a couple of miles into the main canyon. We backpacked and spent several days in the Havasupai Canyon, … Read more

Diminutive Abode

by

It is always fun to see someone take a set of plans and create a tiny house. Shay Cameron was one of the early buyers of the Sonoma Shanty plans and has made some major modifications. He is in the process of building his Diminutive Abode and I’ll turn the story over to him now.

I purchased the Sonoma Shanty plans back in July ’09, and you asked at the time if I would send you pictures of the finished product. Well, I am still in early stages of building, and I have adapted the plans way beyond recognition, but I do have pictures and you can view them at the Diminutive Abode.

I started with a 20′ trailer bought at a good price locally (last year’s model). My tiny house is only around 16′ long, so I will use the remainder of the trailer length, plus the 4′ hinged ramp on the back, as a deck outside my front door.

I have had a number of inquiries, some of which have got me thinking harder about tiny house possibilities. As you may remember, its 18.6 acres a … Read more

Land in Happy Valley Arizona

by

Alfred who designed and built the “Little Red Cabin” wondered if I would be interested in sharing a piece of property he has for sale that might be of interest to someone building a tiny house. It may be out of the price range for many of us but is a very unique piece of property. I’ll let Alfred tell you more about it.

Five years ago (after long searching) I managed to buy an absolutely gorgeous outholding in Southern Arizona, but unfortunately I now have to sell it.

Taken on the property looking west, into the federal wilderness and national park. The mountain at center is the 8,482’ Rincon Peak

An outholding is an island of private property surrounded by federal lands. Outholdings resulted when the federal government aggregated large tracts for national forests or parks in the past century and some land holders refused to sell. As a result, a few truly unique pieces of privately owned land have been preserved as private in some of the most spectacular areas of the west.
