This off-grid tiny house video is sure to inspire with plenty of ideas and features that you'll be sure to love.

The video explores the incredible off-the-grid tiny house of Glade, Cloe, and their two young children. The spectacular tiny home sits on a lovely 12-acre property just outside of Melbourne, Australia, and is completely off the grid, generating all of its power from a huge solar system that sits on the home’s roof. You'll be surprised to see a tiny house on wheels with such a large solar array. Shop Tiny Homes Incredibly, this tiny home on wheels has an astounding 4kw of solar panels sitting on the roof, paired with 36kw of lead-acid battery storage. This tiny home generates enough electricity to power not only all of the required modern appliances, including air conditioning but also a tiny house building workshop which is also located on the property.

The tiny home was constructed by Glade and Cloe, almost entirely from building materials that were found in hard rubbish.

With the vast majority of the construction materials being recycled and reclaimed, and with all the labor done by the couple, the tiny home was able to be built for an amazing budget of only AU$10,000, not including the solar system. This pioneering couple decided to construct a tiny house on their 12-acre property after being inspired to pursue a more simple life, where they could spend more time at home with their children, and live closer to the land, homesteading and growing much of their organic food.

The off-grid tiny house was built and filled with beautiful timbers and clever design which make it ideal for family life.

There are two lofts, a great sized kitchen where Cloe is able, not only to cook, but also to do her preserving and life out the homestead dream, and plenty of space for the children to play and for the couple to entertain. With Glade’s background as a stonemason, the couple eventually plan to construct a small stone home on the property and decided to build the tiny house as a stepping stone, allowing them to get onto their land and have a place to live while their home on foundations is constructed.

Image

Having enjoyed the process of building his own tiny house, Glade wanted to share the journey with others and has started his own tiny house construction company, where he builds tiny homes for others from a workshop on his property.

Working from home now affords Glade the wonderful situation of being able to spend much more time with his family, watching his children grow up, and enjoying all the little moments together.

If you want to become almost self-sufficient and move away from the costs and other issues that come with being on-grid then it helps when you have access to low-cost solar power systems, it gives you a greater chance of living off-grid and not just surviving, you can be thriving.

One of the greatest benefits of off-grid living is the reduced monthly costs. When you go off-grid, you can break free from the grasp of the energy companies and start building a self-sufficient lifestyle that relies on nature rather than corporations.
