After a major heart-related medical condition in 2015, life took on a new perspective. We realized how short life truly is—and made the bold decision to downsize, travel full-time, and eventually build the tiny house of our dreams. What makes this home unique? It’s not just one tiny home—it’s two tiny houses connected into a single living space, designed with comfort, aging in place, and long-term living in mind.

In this tour, you’ll step inside our 10×40 gooseneck tiny home—a custom build that combines a spacious living room, connected kitchen, private bedroom spaces, two bathrooms, and a stunning master suite addition. With vaulted ceilings, smart storage solutions, and high-end finishes, we’ve shown that small-space living can still feel expansive, luxurious, and deeply personal.

Why This Tiny House Matters
For us, this build isn’t just a home—it’s a blueprint for freedom. Downsizing forced us to sell 98% of what we owned, but in return, we gained more time, financial freedom, and the ability to live intentionally. Instead of chasing money and job titles, we now chase sunsets, spend evenings by the fire, and focus on what truly matters: family, experiences, and peace of mind.

This home proves that downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading. It’s about rewriting the blueprint of your life and building a home that supports your future, not your debt.
