Make fun of Portland all you want, but few American cities (probably none) are showing more creativity with their zoning in order to provide affordable, transit friendly housing options. Their liberal policy about setting up tiny houses in backyards as ADUs is… #portland #tinyhouses
Twin Oaks Intentional Community, in central Virginia, since 1967.
“We are approximately 90 adults and 15 children ranging in age from newborn to 80 years. Our contiguous land encompasses over 350 acres and extends over a mile up from the South Anna River. It includes creeks, woods, hilly pastures and farmland.
Over the years we have built seven large group houses, a children’s building, a community center including our main communal kitchen, industrial buildings, and various other structures. We have incorporated solar and/or wood heat in almost all of our buildings.”

This gorgeous piece of New Mexico property is ideal for a Tiny Home village for those looking for a great place to retire, and interested in earning some fun retirement income. The 10 acre property is located right down the road from a premier vacation town, which offers both winter and summer tourism. Let us know if you would like more information on the property, and what we have in mind for it. Right now it’s priced well below market value and won’t last long.
I just located this 56-acre property out in East Texas, adjacent to Holly Lake Ranch, which might possibly be an ideal setting, and location for a new, Texas Tiny Home Village. The gorgeous property features a 1.5 acre, spring feed, swimming hole, which would provide lots of development possibilities, similar to a development layout design I did on a property down in the Hill Country last year. This possible development could be great and could include a small clubhouse and deck area for community members and their friends and family to enjoy.
The owner says his property is a tranquil place in the piney woods of east Texas. Lots of deer and wild life in the area, and there’s a really nice golf course/club house right around the corner. The property is 1.5 hrs. east of Dallas, 1.5 hrs. west of Shreveport, 30 minutes from Tyler and Longview. There’s a nearby small airport as well, for those who have their own planes.
Lots of great possibilities with this East Texas property. We hope to explore it more after New Years. Let us know if this sounds like a place you might be interested in living, or having a week-end get-a-way place at. Happy New Year!
