The Homestead Tiny Is as Cozy as It Sounds, Flaunts Gorgeous Custom Carpentry

Judging by its size, the Homestead is no farmhouse. Still, they share similar aesthetics and a sense of warm familiarity that makes you feel right at home. Sitting on a 20-foot (6-meter) custom-made trailer, this serene home on wheels looks deceptively small and simple. It's a one-bedroom house with an open-concept main floor and a loft. This isn't the kind of house that breaks the norm with an unusual layout or innovative amenities; the Homestead focuses on the details and craftsmanship.

As soon as you step inside, the contrast between the white shiplap walls and ceilings and the dark woodwork throughout invites you into a world of timeless elegance. Forget quirky features, basic furniture, and cookie-cutter décor: this tiny home boasts a mighty character. The gorgeous cabinetry in dark shades of brown stands out, and it's all custom-made.

Instead of a typical living room setup, the spacious area near the side entrance boasts a massive bookcase as its centerpiece. It takes up the entire wall length-wise, providing ample room for storage and décor. Large windows and the glass door add the perfect amount of natural light to showcase this beautiful piece of furniture. The gallery shows a nearly bare lounge because the owners chose to bring their own furniture in addition to the custom-made bookcase; what's important to note is the overall spaciousness in this part of the house and the luminosity that makes it seem even wider and open to the views outside.

The staircase is another exquisite example of craftsmanship. The stained wood instantly turns this interior with a simple configuration into a luxurious abode. While many tiny homes with loft bedrooms feature staircases with hidden storage, few display such a beautifully crafted version. These are not just basic drawers for minimal storage; they are high-quality, spacious cabinets with tops that double as steps. An elegant railing that's solid and transparent at the same time makes it easier to access the loft bedroom while also adding a glamorous touch.

There are no improvised solutions or compromises inside the Homestead. Instead, this is more of a miniature luxury farmhouse, fitted with premium appliances and crafted with care. While the staircase, the railing, and the bookcase double as stylish accents, most of the home remains neutral in terms of colors, which helps create a relaxing, airy ambiance. Although not technically a family home, the Homestead features a dreamy kitchen that any family would love to have.

A high-quality countertop, a huge stainless steel sink, and custom-made cabinets and cupboards come as standard features. A smaller stainless steel refrigerator is cleverly fitted into a dedicated nook with enough space above for an additional cupboard – there can never be too many of those in a tiny house.

Every inch of space was cleverly used without sacrificing style. Opposite the kitchen, a spacious closet for hanging clothes comes with additional shelving for even more storage. This practical storage nook also doubles as a discrete partial wall that separates the lounge area from the kitchen and bathroom area for a more intimate, cozy atmosphere.

It's one of the things that makes the overall design so ingenious: privacy is created in discrete ways that keep the space as open as possible. As a result, the Homestead feels much more airy and comfortable than other models in the same size range.

Next to it, a gorgeous barn-style sliding door keeps the bathroom fully enclosed. The bathroom boasts the same traditional shiplap walls that give it a vintage vibe, even though it's fully modern in terms of appliances. A composting toilet was chosen instead of a conventional model. As for storage, beautiful custom shelves in a darker tone accompany the elegant vanity.

Last but not least, the Homestead's main bedroom is a masterclass in contemporary minimalism. Beautiful floors, white shiplap walls and ceilings, and large windows are enough to create a luxurious platform for the beautiful furniture. There's enough room for a king-sized bed with ample walk-around space and a full-length built-in bench for easy-to-reach storage. The open-work railing adds the comfort of a safety panel without obstructing the view, which creates the visual illusion of a wider space.

This elegant home was unveiled by Modern Tiny Living four years ago as a custom version of one of their most popular designs, the Mohican. Pricing for the standard Mohican currently starts at $85,000. The unique craftsmanship and refined details inside the Homestead took this popular layout to the next level, confirming, once more, the incredible versatility of tiny homes.
