Tiny house on wheels for sale
A GRANITE Belt couple not ready to settle in one location has instead built a tiny home on wheels.
The manoeuvrable home features a full-sized kitchen, bathroom, and loft-style bedroom.
Owner Anna-Clara Mansolahti said the freedom of being able to move when they wanted motivated her and partner Jacob Marsh to building the house.
“I actually wanted to build a smaller house, so we could travel around with it easier,” Miss Mansolahti said.
“The possibility of being able to sell it or move it around is easily done.”
The 10m long house took seven months to build, according to Miss Mansolahti, who said the frame was custom-built in Brisbane.
Miss Mansolahti said she was surprised by how quickly they adapted to living in the smaller home.
“The kitchen is more like a full-sized kitchen and the bathroom is quite big,” she said.
“We’ve just taken advantage of every drawer possible and whatever storage space we can.”
The couple has since decided to sell the tiny home rather than travel.
They listed the house for sale this week and Miss Mansolahti said they were inundated with questions.
“A lot of people are interested in it and like it,” Miss Mansolahti said.
“We’ve had a few people asking if they can look at it because it’s so different.”
Miss Mansolahti said she could see the tiny home on wheels concept becoming popular for those wanting to save for their first home.
“It’s worked out really well for us,” she said.
“I definitely think it’s a good idea because you don’t need a massive mansion to be happy.”
