Wow! This Tiny Off-Grid Floating Home is an Absolute Dream! FULL TOUR

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- Full tour of a stunning floating tiny house that’s set up on the shore of a small lake. It’s fully off-grid and it’s designed to be used in all four seasons, even in the winter! The interior is surprisingly spacious with comfortable areas to eat, sleep, and relax, and one of the coolest features is the full-size garage door that opens up so it feels like you’re on a boat or on a dock while you’re in the living room.

The tiny floating home is 12 feet wide by 35 feet long and it’s tied to shore with metal cables at all four corners. The platform is installed on a set of PVC floats with foam inside and that’s what keeps the home floating. When winter comes the floats can freeze in the ice so that it can be used year-round.
The house boat is not connected to the grid so for power there are two 250 W solar panels charging six batteries that provide all the electricity. There's a woodstove and a propane heater for heat, a Separett urine-diverting toilet, and they bring in/carry out the fresh and grey water.
The living room has modular sofas that can also be transformed into a guest bed, the kitchen and dinette are spacious enough to cook and host, and the attic ladder is an easy way to access the sleeping loft without obstructing the open-concept feel of the space during the day.

I hope they paid you for their commercial.
Hi and thanks for watching :) Bora Boréal didn't pay us to make this video, we just thought it was a nice float home and we included their info and the end of the tour.
Website has no English version :-(
For sale with land?
I would absolutely sleep in the living room, looks stunning!
Loved the aesthetic of the home and its location. A missed opportunity, I think, was not creating an outdoor deck where one could sit and have a drink or meal. Didn't seem like there was anywhere to put one's clothes/suitcases when vacationing there. And last, not having a shower in the unit, especially in the winter, would not be ideal.
As usual, this quality video is yet one more example which explains why you two have nearly TWO and a QUARTER MILLION subscribers! Thank you both for sharing the videos which are the completed products of your expertise, talent & passion.
Thanks so much Alice! We put a ton of work into every video that we make so you're comment is very much appreciated :) All the best!
Minimalist living at its finest. Perfect for vacationing. It really is gorgeous for folks who live minimalist. I am not one of those folks and I need my shower/bath for meditation.
Minimalisme for rich peoples ^^ (How they got the money is it so minimalist or feng shui ?
sitting right beside nature, and you need a bath or shower to meditate? Are you sure it's meditation your doing? There's water in the river! And it hasn't been processed by human hands. I strongly suggest you connect with something like nature... and natural water... friend. I won't apologize for sounding bossy. It's for your own benefit. xo
Wow, this is a place I can see myself loving, with zero changes. Great work!
Ohhhh! Ice Skating in the winter - right out your door! Cool!
I love this place gorgeous home
Feliz Año 2023 de la ciudad de pergamino Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Thanks 🙏
I liked this vid after the intro sequence. Nice home features.
So pretty
Such a beautiful and perfect layout.
This setup is like a piece of heaven!! I love it! Thank you for the video!
Absolutely fabulous. What a view, year round
Both tiny house and floating house, perfect combination.👏👏👏
Very beautiful video ☺👏
Pretty cool. Looks very big.
It does! Very deceptive from the outside.
Thank you so much for all
Super! J'habite tout près!! I live nearby !! I never knew this place existed.
😃
Very nice set up
Speak of amazing living spaces , this house is fantastic💙💀💀💀😎😀😈😈😈😈😈😈
Beautiful
Holy moly.
Hi and omg it’s so cute
wow!! I want one! awesome!
Perfect!
First! Looks interesting!
Very nice!!!
A Nice place to turn your mind out of the city. Bravo for Bora Boréal and for you guys. Although it could be nice to skate on the winter skate ring; September would be my first choice to explore this beautiful place. Thanks, luv it
Great video
You could fish in your living room and cook pan fish on the cooktop! Fishing in your slippers. Throw a bobber in and just wait while you have your morning coffee....
Fabulous 👌
Wow, so cool! Thanks!
I'd love one
Very nice.
Very nice place. We would definitely sleep in the livingroom although we would like some kind of window shades. Thanks Matt and Danielle ❤
Yes! Window shades would definitely be nice especially for late risers! Thanks for checking out the video :)
ill admit the whole " tiny home " thang i really thought was a joke , That was until i seen yours , damn as Mr. Gump would say " i like it , i like it a lot " and wherever you got it at is priceless!!
This is one of my favourites you’ve posted! Awesome. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much Melissa!
Nice!
Expensive accommodations
Cool! 😀
Great video, this looks like a very relaxing place!
wow!
That’s my dream home I can live there until I die love it love it but I will sleep on the bottom those sofas look comftables I cannot climb but is very beautiful out there the house the surroundings amazing
Really love the idea of a water home - simple and peaceful! Can you tell me where the modula sofa seats are from??
I wonder how well it's insulated with that garage type door window esp. for winter times.
Amazing. I just hope it has an smart sewage system.
A septic tank is a way to go, but if the house were 1 level hight, we could have and entire sewage treatment system, a garage, and a gym or an atellier, just under it.
Despite que great view around, without city lights astronomy is a must. I would put longe chairs and a telescope on the ceiling. Good to watch wild life too.
Great concept.
❤❤❤
Great Video! Was this House 1 or 2?
Beautiful design but where is the clothing storage
very nice little house but won’t there be a bazillion flies over this little see in the summer?
Beautiful Off Grid float home. Please share where we can find the floor sofa?
I just want to know how many water snakes get into the home? Other than that. OMG LOVE IT
Should have turned the ladder long ways and closer to a corner so it can be out the way when it's down. But this house is perfect.
Солнечные батареи просятся на крышу.
Тогда освободится еще одна терраса, куда можно сделать выход из комнаты.
Are the mosquitoes bad in spring thru early fall? All that water surrounding.
Beautiful 🥰🥰
500 Watts of Solar is enough? For light, water pump and refrigeration it might get by. Are the windows double glazed?
Can you put 2 layers of felt on a shed roof?
This looks good, but I bet that the mosquitos are a huge pain in this area.
They're a pain everywhere. Have you been anywhere in southern Ontario or Quebec that doesn't get plastered with mosquitoes every year?
Coconut 🥥 wipes … mosquitoes 🦟.. 👍🏻 fly screen s ..
That mesh floor in the sleeping loft is only fun until your date drops an earring, or you drop a pen or a battery or something. Then it's a pain in the **s because you have to go all the way back downstairs to retrieve that item.
🤙
Wonder wat they do about the killer mozies. well on the side of a lake they can truly turn into lil killers i no that much my friend. 'nice set up tho.
Awesome 👌🏾
I like the concrete ones they make overseas
The steam and smell of cooking into the bedroom through the grill floor surely is a design flaw.
What, u never heard of bachelor/bachelorette apartments?
Jfc, the lame excuses people craft to criticize new things.
I didn't even think of that.
@@bleh329 Have you missed the point here....These are New Build Holiday / Vacation homes not Student Apartments
@@bleh329 Lame? I've lived in a bachelor and I'm even great cook, but Paul is right.
The worst part about that grill beside the bed is crawling in and out and scraping your knees or other body parts!
Need the build plans
Kudos to the person who designed this. I personally wouldn't put black furniture but the overall is amazing. thanks for sharing.
Masha Allah, beautiful, the land! Lovely accommodations on this property, just watching is relaxing.
What’s the property tax on a float home considering water space isn’t normally taxed?
What a beautiful place! It seems like a creative and simple solution for having option for some privacy with all those big windows would be good. also, I'm wondering why they put in a grated floor for loft... Dust, dirt etc will fall down to the areas below... I see no practical reason to Support such a choice... there's already plenty of light in that space
Easy to assemble a shed. Just follow this guide
Whats the deal with mosquitos though?
Its an interesting place, but there are some major turn-offs as well. I don't really like the idea of an open bedroom above my dining area. I'd be nervous of things dropping down. I don't like the fact that there aren't any curtains. Another thing that I would find less than ideal is that I have to transport the grey and black water to another location on the property. That does NOT sound like fun. I also don't like that there doesn't seem to be any privacy WITHIN the home. The bedroom is open and people below can see straight up into the room. Showers being in a separate building can also be incredibly annoying.
Its a beautiful property, but they chose aesthetics over practicality. It would have been better in my opinion of they would have made a better mix.
Though, this isn't my favorite property, I do thank you for showing it in this video!
Cool house. Location = mosquitos.
Beautiful home,, stunning location, but if you cant bath or even shower in it, it's a TOILET... NOT a bathroom.
Major drawback that. I would pump pond water through a particle filter and a gas geyser and use biodegradable soap. Or have a grey water tank.
@Maarten de Groot why? There's a shower room right on shore?
@@janeysiegrist5061 Did you see the rain on the water outside? And that doesnt look like winter to me. Granted, there are those ladies who would be unfazed by that, but then there are those who wouldnt enjoy the cold muddy trip to and from the shower.
Understand this: I live in a tiny house with an outside solar heated shower/toilet. I guess you might call it a "wetroom". Summer is great IF Im home while the sun is shining, but last winter I installed a shower indoors.... I just had to.
This setup MIGHT be ok for a rental unit, but not for living permanently, but to be honest, I'm not really interested in watching videos about fab rental pads, although, I must concede, there are sometimes some good ideas to be gleaned. Im much more interested in seeing how people live their lives in small dwellings and how they deal with the challenges. One of which would be going out to the shower in winter.
@@janeysiegrist5061 Rain...snow, muddy or frozen. Plus it's not even right outside. Ah, no thanks.
@Nature's Infinite WELLth it's a Murrkin thang. It's almost as if the word "toilet" is somehow "dirty" . I've never heard it called "toilet room" in Britain, but yeah. You missed WC, which is "Water Closet". That's gotta be Murrkin too. The English dialect speakers. LOL.
So it's just a boathouse but not really. There are tons in lakes all over the US.
I want one! It just needs a wee bit bigger kitchen to have both an under counter fridge and freezer for year round living. And a step stool to reach the upper cabinets and the stairs.
What happens when the water level goes lower??
not understanding why it's in the water, instead of on the flat-land beside the water.
Is a rbnb review an "alternative" ? 😁
Hi and thanks for your comment :) We always try our best to show a mix of people living in spaces as well as builders and also some rentals. When we feature rentals we try to find places with interesting and unique designs that might inspire or give people ideas. It's also very challenging to find people who are living in alternative spaces week after week so we have to balance everything as best we can. That being said, we plan to show less rentals moving forward. Thanks for watching :)
Looks great but that swamp is a mosquitoes haven lol. The type of netting you will need would have to be as reliable as prison barbwire. Your ass would have so many mosquito bites one would think you had small pox. It’s a no.
Wow. This place is great...mostly. The garage door is very cool and it being screened is really sweet. It would be good for a family or even a group of friends. The living/dining areas are obviously set up for a few people. The garage door is cool, but what's even cooler is that it's screened.
The first downside is having to go outside to shower, especially in the winter! The second downside is the kitchen. Yes, it's nice to have a grill, I'm not sure how thrilled I'd be to do that in the snow. So really the only real cooking area is the 2(?) burner in the corner area of the small counter/prep area...which is NOT spaious. If one is cooking for a family or small group, good luck. So much space is given everywhere else, but not the kitchen??? I didn't even see a toaster oven, let alone a real oven. This is a complete deal breaker for me.
Whoever designed this place either doesn't like to cook or just doesn't. Even coming up for a couple of nights with my family this wouldn't work. I don't feed them prepackaged 'food' that just needs to be heated up or just thrown into a bowl.
What a shame. If this had a real kitchen it would be a great place.
"Wow, this place is great... except that was a lie and I only actually like one aspect of it. Aside from that I have only criticism and will evem go so far as to suggest these people I don't know don't cook".
What a whining comment. I mean, seriously? If you don't want to cook outside, then doooooooon't? What kind of nonesense is that, even?
What I really enjoy is ur replies to other comments seem to imply that u liked the space until other people pointed out things that u didn't consider urself.
@@bleh329 Bleh. Guess only your opinion counts. I agree with the first comment. If this is a rental, which it is, constructive criticism is important, and can lead to improvements that can increase their income by appealing to more people.
@@kimdawcatgirl lol, I guess ur opinion is the only valid one is what u agree with 🤣
U agree with this whiny nonsense, good for u. When was the last time anyone presented u with a grill and forced u to use it when u didn't want to? U agree with that, or did u decide to ignore that idiocy?
What else did u agree with, exactly?
@@charlesmciver897 Why? To impress the intellectual powerhouses in this comment section?
🤡🤪🤡
@@charlesmciver897 I am really not sure what is good about this house. It seems spacious and bright, but that's about it. I don't cook a lot and maybe the idea is that people will grill on the outside bbq, but fridge would be enough for steaks, veggies and drinks for 1 night. 19l of water for washing dishes lol. Will the garage door insulate enough?
ÍWould be much cooler if there was more sitting area outside and/or on the roof. Shower is not nearby, so feet will get dirty before returning.
Might be good for 1-2 nights, but not functional to stay for more and connect with the nature
Mozzzies?
one word: mosquitoes lol
Very beautiful surroundings, but I'm not a fan of the modern, prison looking design. Would've liked so much more inviting with some wood tones. A deck wouldn't been great too
