Where can I put my tiny house?
…
It’s probably the most common question we receive. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most complicated questions we can answer. Basically, if we’re building you a foundation-ready tiny house, we’ll look at the zoning for your specific property. If we’re building you an RV-style tiny house, you can pretty much place it wherever you can legally place a traditional RV (our tiny houses are RVIA certified!). If your tiny house will be your primary residence and you want to live it full-time, there may be slim pickings. Needless to say, we’re always keeping our eyes peeled for new spots.
During some recent internet scouring, we stumbled across a real gem. It turns out there’s a tiny house/vintage trailer park set to open this summer only an hour away from Tiny SMART House! They’ll be offering both long-term and nighty rentals in Waldport, OR.
Take a peek at the photos and description from their previous Craigslist ad, and find links to their new Facebook and website below.
“Welcome to Tiny Tranquility, a 12.5 acre park on the Oregon Coast that was designed and developed to provide a truly unique opportunity for owners of tiny home and vintage travel trailers to live or stay on the Oregon coast. Opening in June, 2018, TT will provide sites ranging from 2,500 – 3,500 square feet in a park-like setting with a variety of features, amenities and gathering spaces – all designed to support tiny home living. These features will include:
*Generous sites with power, water and sewer hookups and free wifi
*A large 2,400 sq/ft game and entertainment room
*2,000 sq/ft outdoor area with a basketball court and covered eating and grilling area
*Wood fired hot tub looking out onto a duck pond
*Newly constructed commons building with bathroom, shower and laundry facilities (first floor)
*Great room with ocean views and wrap around deck (second floor)
*12,000 sq/ft greenhouse for rental of your own personal nursery or storage space
*Freshly grown organic produce and micro-greens grown in greenhouse available to park users
*Enclosed dog park
*Over an acre of outdoor area with picnic tables and fire pits, including entryway into a canopied nature trail with a small creek and old growth trees
Within just a three minute walk to miles of pristine Oregon beaches, the park has been thoughtfully designed by noted landscape architects at KLA with native coastal plants, trees and shrubs to create a park like setting that protects the privacy of individual sites while at the same time featuring a host of communal gathering spaces. By providing for rental of the sites on a longer term basis, the TT community will include park residents who desire to live full time on the Oregon Coast as well as part timers who can use their tiny home or vintage trailer as a “beach house” for weekend or summer visits without being handcuffed to maintaining a traditional beach property. And for those who simply want to vacation and explore an amazing stretch of the Oregon coast, a variety of park and user-owned tiny homes and vintage trailers will be available at the park for nightly rental.
TT is nestled between the sleepy towns of Waldport and Yachats and just a 20 minute drive to “big town” amenities found in Newport, Oregon. Waldport serves as the gateway to amazing crabbing on Alsea bay and salmon/steelhead fishing on the Alsea river while Yachats has been named the “Best place to stay on the Oregon coast” (Oregonian, July 2016) and the “gem of the Oregon coast”. With its location on the central coast, TT is just a short drive to a stretch of coastline that is unmatched for its natural beauty and for the multitude of natural features available for your exploration. Whether you want to see the spouting horns or Thor’s Well and then hike or drive to the top of Cape Perpetua for an amazing vista, throw the crab pot in Alsea bay, watch for gray whales, bike in a corridor of old growth trees, visit an active lighthouse, watch the huge waves roll in during a winter storm or simply kick your feet back and relax on the beach while your kids are flying a kite or building a sandcastle, the opportunities here are boundless.
If you are interested in living or staying at Tiny Tranquility, please email us your contact information at tinytranquilitypark@gmail.com. We will contact you as soon as our website and Facebook pages are up and running and welcome your questions in the interim.”
