The house comes with three bedrooms and a large living space[/caption]
The best part is it is described as a “family house”, as there are multiple bedrooms in the layout.
The home is said to “evoke the charm of a small villa nestled in the natural countryside, enhancing your living experience with tranquility and elegance.”
The home comes with 800 square feet of space, which consists of three bedrooms, one living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and one separated wet and dry bathroom.
On the floor plan, the three bedrooms all come off the main living space, which stretches the length of the house.
The prefab home also comes with “L-shaped cabinets, water heater, toilet, sink, mirror, and private shower area”.
And in addition to this, there is “US standard electrical and plumbing systems, suitable for both temporary and long-term family residence.”
The home has also been designed with varying weather conditions in mind.
It is constructed with a steel frame that is said to be fire-rated Class A, wind-resistant up to level 11, and seismic up to level 9.
And to keep you toasty in winter, the home has flame-retardant foam panels for thermal insulation.
One thing to note is it’s not easy to move the home without proper transportation as it weighs 11,030 pounds.
However, it could prove to be the perfect solution for those struggling to get on the property ladder.
It could also be the ideal guest house when family comes to stay, or as a side hustle for renting out for some cash on the side.
Tiny homes have boomed in popularity in the United States over the past decade, mainly down to affordability and sustainability reasons, and the desire for minimalist living.

What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
