Couple Lives 7 Years Off-Grid in Their DIY Tiny Homestead

It’s been five years since we last visited Paul and Annett in their incredible off-the-grid tiny house on the Gold Coast and a lot has changed over the years. It’s not often that we get to interview people who have been living in their tiny homes for this long and so it’s wonderful to be able to share their inspiring story and see how off-grid tiny house living works in the long-term!

Their home is looking wonderful and enjoys some new features and developments since we were last here. From the expanded solar system which now charges an EV, through to the now much-more established fruit trees, there is still a lot to love about this place.

But what’s even more special is the life-style and freedom that this home has provided Paul and Annett. With energy from solar (which now also powers their electric vehicle), rainwater collection, gas created by a bio-gas digester, and much of their food coming from the garden, their only real outgoings are modest rent and their food budget.

The rest of their income (both of them now work from home) can go towards travel, their hobbies and has also allowed them to do something very cool! You’ll have to watch the video to find out about that though!
