Nestled in the lush forests of the Oregon Coast, Tara and Brian’s Terrapin Station is more than a home, it’s a dream built to fit perfectly among towering Douglas firs. Measuring 12 feet wide by 36 feet long, this custom teeny home blends timeless charm, smart functionality, and a deep personal connection to the couple’s favorite band, the Grateful Dead.

A cozy living area with built-in seating, storage drawers, and an electric fireplace perfect for Oregon’s rainy nights. A spa-like bathroom with a deep soaking tub overlooking the forest canopy. A light-filled bedroom with abundant storage, a skylight for stargazing, and panoramic forest views.

The property’s story is just as remarkable as the house itself. Originally listed for $80,000, the couple purchased this forest retreat for just $30,000. With minimal monthly expenses—around $100 for water, power, and internet—this lifestyle offers financial freedom without sacrificing comfort.
