  • The Pickalotta is a unique and artistic off-grid cabin with solar power, a green roof, incinerator toilet, outdoor shower, well water, and propane heat. It's a 2-storey structure that measures 15'x15' and it's perched on top of reclaimed telephone poles. Approx. 30% of the materials in the build are reclaimed, and the majority of the furniture, dishes, and other items are unique vintage finds.

    Joel and Stephanie have been living off-grid in their own self-built home for 14 years and they've created a beautiful and inspiring tiny home on their land to share the lifestyle with visitors! Right down to being able to raid their garden while you're there ;)

    you might want to check for any leaks in the hose for the water pump. my 12 volt water pump made that same noise until I discovered a small leak where the hose connected to the filter. Once it was fixed it stopped making that noise.

    Absolutely right comment: not too impressive outside but surprisingly it is very well thought! Living 14 years off grid is an experience!
    Love the fact they keep the died tree to make sculpture, the driftwood lamps upstairs. Not too sure about the hamac in the bedroom floor. Kitchen counter is gorgeous. I would really like to see a little sofa in front of the wood stove. Kitchen seems pretty nude with just that tiny table.
    No matter those details it is a beautiful realization. Thanks

    I love this especially the kitchen. That tile work is beautiful. The bedroom looks so calm with its simple furniture and accessories. I am so Happy to hear that they have an incinerator toilet. This would be the only way that I could do off grid living. I think the composting toilet would be a deal breaker. And not having city water.
