Beautiful area but the lot rent is too high

Go farther North and it’s $800+
What a beautiful place for a tiny home community. It's nice to hear that the city was willing and open to the idea and you were able to make it happen. I'm also glad you mentioned the cost excluding land to build the community. Many people don't realize how much it costs to get the permits, engineering, put in the infrastructure, the roads, landscaping. Thanks for sharing your beautiful community with us.
I looked into buying a small plot of property outside of town and living off-grid in a tiny house. In order to do so, I found that I would have to lay in a septic field and have a well drilled for water. That would have cost about $200K up front, including the permit fees. So much for that idea... 😮
@@daviduribe3111 i hear you, I was thinking the same thing, but the infrastructure costs of a septic tank and other items put it way out of my budget.
@@daviduribe3111
Where were you looking that a septic/leech/well would have been over $200k? Or is that with the land?
Beautiful tiny homes, and the whole concept is brilliant.
Studies show that loneliness is almost pandemic amongst older people, so this adresses that issue, too
Such a good point ❤️
You built a beautiful Tiny Home community 👏🏽
Anyone would be proud to call it home ♥️
Keep up the good work!
A beautiful community with beautiful people.
Iam happy for this couple because they have found what filled a void in their life and brought them and others joy laughter and friendship 😊
I'm in awe....this place looks outstanding on so many levels...
The owners are Wonderful!! ❤ what a privilege to live there 🙌🏻🏡
💕💕💕
Wow, a piece of heaven for someone like me dreaming of living in a tiny home someday ..I wish Illinois had a Mark and Linda!
We need more folks like them! 💖
Have yet to watch the entire video, but wanted to comment on the great idea of using the rusty metal for fencing. No loss of trees for a wood fence + little maintenance. The silhouette cutout of mountain top adds to the setting beautifully, esp. with the natural sky as its backdrop. It would be great feature to add to tall fences in the city. There could be cut-outs of sunflowers, tree tops, birds seating on the fence, etc. vs the usual boring restrictive solid look of tall level fencing which is the hallmark of many privacy fences in the city and burbs.
We completely agree! Adding a lil beauty to functional things goes a long way to make neighborhoods and towns look & feel more appealing 😊✨
You have both done such a nice job creating a lovely spot
for folks to enjoy life🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Awesome place ! Should be many more .
Wow! I am so happy you were able to achieve a new tiny house community! And a very well thought out community, those trees will be lovely and tasty when they get bigger😊 I am still surprised how many people are still not familiar with tiny houses, I was hooked years ago! I certainly wish you both the best on your new adventures as tiny house community owners, it's a beautiful place to live❤
Thank you Beverly ❤! We have had the land for quite a while. We thought we would develop the land one day if we could. We pondered apartments and condos, but that seemed too brick-and-mortar and impersonal and just another rental, so we never took action on it. Then we became aware of these tiny homes and we knew right away this is what needed to be done with this land. It spoke to our hearts....it would actually help fulfill the need for affordable housing. People would be able to purchase their own homes where they have not been able to before because of the unreachable prices of homes nowadays. It would also help out the folks who still wanted their own home but wanted to be part of a community and have people around them supporting them. Each Tiny Home is adorable. They are different colors, sizes, and shapes which adds to the personality of the neighborhood. All the events we do with the residents we thoroughly enjoy, and I believe this creates a sense of community which I think our society lacks these days. We have a neighborhood full of WONDERFUL residents!!
To New Journey’s ❤
MarLin Village
Gorgeous
What a beautiful neighborhood. It’s so close to all the amenities and still inside lots of nature’s wonders. The laser cut fence is absolutely stunning! What an art piece and statement . You’ve made something utilitarian and mundane into a showpiece. ❤
Thank you. Your channel is informative and joyful.
You are so welcome! We appreciate the kind feedback 🥰
What a Stellar couple, wow, and they really care. I'm working on getting my finances together to live in a place just like this if I can't own my own land. This community seems really heart-centered all the way around. Cheers from Seattle!
I am sooooo excited about your tiny home community! I am shopping for a tiny home now and always worry about where I’m going to be able to park it. I will be in touch soon! Thank you for being like minded -
What an amazing place to live.
Great little village! Hopefully more places start letting them come in!
We 💯 agree! Many are planned around the US but the more the merrier & the sooner the better 😄
Bravo! Beautiful community! I wish you were in Western Washington!
That fence is gorgeous! Well done!
Joy begets joy!
Excellent community.
Wishes for continued success in making life great for people.
Beautiful Place ❤❤❤
I love everything about this. I just moved into my guest house but this checks off everything I looked for.
Right on! Are you renting out the main house?
Wonderful community concept!
Wow this is beautiful. (Not including money) this is a great idea I have just been so fascinated with tiny homes lately lol 😂. There’s soo many things and ideas you can do. It’s amazing!
Lovely community. Such a relaxed way of living. LIVING!!!!! 😊❤
🙌🙌🙌💫
If only this tiny home community was near me...we need village's like this here as well...owning your own home is near impossible in most countries these day's (I am one of the lucky people who got enough in my divorce settlement to buy a small house)...if I was divorcing now I wouldn't be able to buy anything land and property prices have sky-rocketed over the past few year's...great tour and a lovely village the owner's seem really approachable which is good 😊
The expensive land costs is a big barrier but also the zoning. Several new communities opened within the last year so hopefully that bodes well for more in the near future! 🤞🤞🤞
Lovely little house in a very beautiful and peaceful village.
What are a beautiful place to live . I want to live in a tiny home.
You two are so cute and thank you for showing us around! Love what you have built!
Great place to live and enjoy lazy,hazy days at
home! What ❤ the owners have!
Congratulations MarLin tiny House Village! It’s already a beautiful community and it’s just going to get even more beautiful! You may be hearing from me regarding a parking spot in about a year or sooner! 🙏🥰💃🏻
Very cool! Best wishes with your tiny planning!
Looks like a wonderful place!
This is Gonna b Excellent THE🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Saturday😀….
Enjoy & happy weekend! 💗😄✨
So nice to see couples! Beautiful place
I love that fence!
Space in between homes - fabulous! Most are packed in like sardines. Nice folks too - very pretty area.
Beautiful
This is awsome so beautiful.
Awesome people!
Very sweet ❤
I sure would love ❤️
Love this!
Beautiful I could see us living there.
Such a fantastic setup, location & people 👌☺️
Very inspiring, great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💕
Lovely!!
Awesome community 👍
I just love you two
I want to find partners and build a tiny community in northern California. This is a perfect concept. Love it such a kind and wonderful couple.
Love it! We need more great communities like this around the country 😊
What a peaceful looking area. Ughh, I still have to work full time and this town looks pretty small to do that.
It is pretty small but close to Durango, which is much bigger! 😊
I wish we had this sort of thing in the UK. Life would be so much easier - everything is already too expensive and it’s just getting worse fast. Beautiful development and lovely couple.
Sure hope the UK comes around! Such a practical low impact way to provide more housing options 🙂
This is expensive for most Americans !
Love it!
A lot of people of an older age would be able to sell their homes and pay cash for this beautiful tiny home. The cost of the rent would be exceptional to save money.
Lovely place!!!👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing!
Most welcome!
So blessed to have a THOW so places like your’s give me the opportunity to ‘travel’ and live elsewhere! 💜🏡🌲⛰️🌄
What a cool fence. Nice place.
Very cool love this place and their property along the creek so pretty, Having storage units great idea as is the garden, and community meeting place .Wish there was a community like this here in Ontario. I love tiny homes . The owners have a real big kind heart.
C’mon Ontario! We need these everywhere 😅
Very Nice! Me and my wife are not too far in Alamosa.
An awesome place. I would love to buy a tiny home. Wish more states would do this.
Yes! They’re are very much needed 🏘️
Thanks!
We appreciate you very much!! 🥹🥰
Looks like an nice place. I'd worry a little about space when it's fully occupied but for now it looks great.
Nice
Very nice
Thank you, was wondering about Colorado options..
😊❤
Would LOVE this!
I wish I could do this in Weld County.
Looks nice, only missing grass 😥
We miss the grass also!! The TOB was concerned about water consumption, so we are trying to be as green (tree and flower planting) as possible around having grass.
Très belle communauté
Awesome! I live in Northern Colorado and am so excited for another potential place for me to one day ha e a Tiny home! I would love to know where the owners found those used skid steer tires they have in their garden area!
So happy to share, and best wishes with your tiny home journey! Reach out Mark & Linda on their Fb page or website. But they might pop over here to answer some questions ☺️
Hi, If you are looking for used skid steer tracks call your local rental businesses they usually have a pile of used tracks. Good Luck😊
🤗♥️
❤❤❤❤ Oh Am Totally going to enjoy this one. 😅🎉 🫶🏾🙌🏾✨🔥✊🏾
💕 enjoy! It’s a wonderful place to call home ❤️
❤❤❤😂🎉
Hi, thnx for the vid. You may want to check out a new TH & RV community, Lakeland Ridge in Bean Station, TN. Btw, did YT take action re: the channel which used your pics & vid of Karen's incredibox?
Are there more Tiny homes rentals across the US for long term? I have a hard time finding one.
There are a few here and there, but can be hard to find unfortunately. Right now, we know The Bird’s Nest tiny community in Texas has one right now 😊 thebirdsnesttx.wixsite.com/home
@@TinyHouseExpedition Awesome I live in Texas. I will check it out thank you! 😁
@@rekiatgiwa4737 you’re welcome! ☺️
Are you completely full yet?
They still have spots 😊 Contact them and apply here: marlinvillage.com
That's not cheap!
I wish there was a viable tiny house village in MN. 😢
Have you heard of The Sanctuary community in Ogilvie, MN? 😊 www.thesanctuaryminnesota.com/new-page-1
Yes, I have but they do NOT return calls or emails, hence the reason I said VIABLE tiny house community.
@@carmelleabron4058 so sorry to hear that!
@@carmelleabron4058and their site has minimal information. Not impressed.
I love the concept but $650 per month is quite an outlay. Residents might own the tiny houses, but they’d still be responsible for house maintenance, on top of paying lot rental. What size are the lots?
way too expensive!
I love the idea but I don't like the HOA. It will go up and I would be towing my Tiny home to my own land.
The biggest need in our country is for affordable working class housing and low income and senior and disabled housing and these tiny house communities are not fitting the need. Tiny homes are for folks with money.
I’ve been tiny house watching for a long time but I know I couldn’t afford the $600 a month a lot rent
Definitely look into tiny home communities in Texas, New Mexico, and Tennessee 🙂 there are many with lot rent between $350-450. Hopefully that’s more doable for you 💕
It’s way too expensive.
Sorry I'm old.
You can be old and live tiny 😄 (Dorie who lives there is 76) but maybe you meant something else 🤔
@@TinyHouseExpedition I had to watch it all the way through again to find out why in God's name I wrote that. Unwarranted, and I apologize. It was based on a community member's comment about the age demographics at the community. I actually LOVE this beautiful site and admire so much the lovely developers. Thank you for show-casing it.
@@moonchild7456 no worries, and you're welcome!
It is far too "sterile" looking for my liking. Grass,flowers and landscaping goes along way for not only aesthetics but also emotional health. Looks like a boring parking lot.
no, people need to STOP paying soooo much money for a little speck of dirt. Paying off the loan for the tiny house and other bills on top of the sickly expensive lot rent everywhere, it needs to stop. People with a fixed income of $1300/month can't even rent anything anymore... a space under a bridge maybe? in a tent?
Realtors and government have made ownership impossible for us.
bla, Bla, BLAAAA, ... how much?! 😱🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
$650/month inclusive of utilities(except electric) and amenities
I am sorry it is pretty but I will take my home in Maine with my own land and not pay $600 a month rent. And I want lawn not gravel around my home. I also have a two car garage with my 3 bedroom two bath home. I is a double wide that I bought as a new build with land that I own. Tiny homes are nothing but a glorified trailer and if you have loft space you can’t stand up. Happy living too you all but not for me.
To each their own! 🙃 The lot rent, which includes most utilities, is more affordable than any other housing option in the area. Also, many folks find tiny house living quite comfortable but not everyone’s cup of tea, of course. Yup, they’re built on trailers but often built with very durable materials & high quality insulation. Land costs are much more affordable in most of Maine compared to Colorado. So affordability really is relative to where you live. 🙂
It is always a bit surprising to me that people who aren’t interested in this style of living and already have a home they love and meets their budget, watch these videos and post long, negative comments.
Let’s not knock someone else’s solution to the same problem you had when you bought your double wide. We all need affordable housing and we all have unique tastes and needs as well as different access to options.
I agree about the gravel. Its quite boring. I actually like tiny homes and they come in all designs and sizes. The tiny homes are actually built to higher standards in many case than your doublewide. A 3 bdrm house with two car garage is not attractive when you are old or ill and cant keep it up.
This is just an overpriced mobile home park $650 per month lot rent is insane. Go buy your own land. You'll own the land in five years. This isn't nice. IT's a scam.
It’s quite affordable compared to lot rent at RV parks in the area, apartment rents, house prices, and expensive available raw land. Unlike apartments, rent includes most utilities. Buying land isn’t cheap around there and not many tiny house friendly single lots. But if you’re down to live in rural areas in some states, like Arkansas, you could buy & develop land for a relatively affordable price 😅
A scam? It cost them $500,000 plus the cost of the land to develop this. That's a LOT of months at $650.
Not everyone is able to afford land. They also may not want to develop and maintain land. And maybe they don’t want to commit to staying in one place for a long time and like the mobility the tiny home lifestyle can give them.
This is a wonderful option for people that clearly have different goals and needs than you do William. You should try being a little more open minded.
@@fire_flying well said 🙌✨
