A Tiny House In The Woods Of North Carolina


This post contains affiliate links.

Meet Matt and Laura. They’re building their own Tiny House in the woods of western North Carolina while they live and work in Atlanta.

That means progress on the house is made on the weekends. And a high five for power tools! They started in April of 2009 and are nearing completion almost two years later.

I wanted to take a moment to publicly congratulate you two (yes you, Matt and Laura!) on your first year of working on Life in 120 Square Feet (click to visit their blog).

You’ll notice that theirs is not built on a trailer and instead they decided to go with a more permanent approach (I’m sure they can move it if they want to later).

Matt and Laura's Tiny House on a regular Foundation

I like the idea of using a traditional foundation versus building on wheels. It gives these homes way more of that Thoreau feel, you know? And I like that.

If you’re wondering, they used the Tarleton design from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses.

You can learn more about them and their previous progress at the links below.

    That looks very relaxing. It would be a great place to get away from it all (or most of it anyway. 🙂 )

    Hi folks. I am wondering what county you did this in? Are there any special building codes? Do you have electricity? Water? My family and I are looking for land now in western NC and wondering what county you built this in as I don’t want to build ours on a trailer either. Thanks and have a great day!
