Tiny Floating Homes

Kent on 03 Apr 2008

In the last post “Steph’s Tiny Floating Cottage“ I introduced you to the idea of tiny floating homes. In this post I would like to expand on that thought a bit and show you a few of the options and resources available to you.

In a recent post on Park Model Homes we looked at this solution for a place on land. Another use for Park Model Homes are floating homes, and several resort areas across the U.S. and elsewhere are installing these modern trailers onto rafts and selling them as vacation homes or full time residences. Pictured below is one of these examples.

There are many options and resources on the web if you are interested in learning more about floating home living. I have listed a couple below:

This is a CNN article speculating on the place of floating homes in our future as flooding may continue to increase.

    A friend had a house-boat but it sank into the bay. Ever since I’ve been kinda skeptical of floating homes. But the ones featured look really nice. (I’m sure none of them are sinking)
