No utility hookups? No problem — if you plan the three systems that make a remote site livable.
Remote land is cheaper land — and a tiny home is the perfect thing to put on it, because a small, efficient home needs far less to run off-grid than a full house would. It comes down to three systems.
Power
Solar packages can power an efficient tiny home, with battery storage carrying you through the night and cloudy stretches. A small, well-insulated home keeps the system — and the cost — modest.
Water
- A well, where the geology allows.
- Rainwater catchment and storage.
- Hauled water to a cistern for the most remote sites.
Waste
A properly sized septic system handles waste to code; composting systems are an option on the right sites. This is exactly the kind of thing our property analysis flags early, before it becomes a surprise.
