VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Imagine your tiny home is situated in an area with mountain lions, coyotes, and a residential bobcat roaming the grounds. This may sound terrifying, but for Hilary, it's incredible! Off her custom deck, she can sip coffee and be at peace coming from a large three-bedroom house full of stuff she didn't need.
Her little home oasis is full of light with plenty of windows and open areas. The design is functional for her, along with her pets. She even has a mini kitty condo for her siamese cat! The loft sleeping quarters are only 42 inches tall, but just the right height for a movie in bed and a good night's sleep. Although it took Hilary a year to get everything in its final place, the kitchen is well organized and abundant with functionality. Retirement is sweet for this brave woman that went against others' opinions and dove into the world of tiny home living.

@perpetualmotion8090 Anos atrás

I'm a single retired woman and I'm trying so hard to get a tiny home of my own on a small quarter acre (or even less). All I have is my small pension and no 401K either. I need to find a small plot of affordable land in my area and not having any success at all. Acreage tracts for 100's of thousands of dollars and that's not what I want All I want is to get out of my dreadful apartment and move out of the city limits and start enjoying peace and quiet and simplicity for a change. My retirement dream is to watch sunrises with my coffee and my cat and work on starting a garden and pursue hobbies I've been wanting to do.

This was one of the realest tours I've seen. This woman got divorced when her 3 children were young, worked hard to raise them and as a result couldn't save for retirement BUT she didn't just lay down and die. She found a way to be able to enjoy her latter years and retire comfortably. I commend her for that and applaud her for doing what she had to do because she's not the only one that has been through this but she was real enough to be honest and this will help others going through the same thing. I wish her all the best.

I love her kitchen! Makes so much sense to have a washing machine instead of a dishwasher, especially for just one person. If I were single I’d seriously consider a tiny home.

@catherinerosner970 Anos atrás

I can relate to her story! Having been married and starting over at almost 40 then another failed marriage, I had some money put away but not enough to last. I purchased a mobile home in a beautiful community in Washington State, two years ago, when I retired. No mortgage rented lot and enjoy the mountains, ocean and farms. You do what you have to do to make life what you want and need it to be. My only issue is her stairs, I couldn't live in a two story like her.

@noreenebostick9593 8 meses atrás

It is wise to not have a two story in the senior years because aging changes of the body will start and continue. I am 65 years, ten months and 19 days as of this comment. I am physically and mentally able and prefer to live on a first floor if there is not an elevator and live in a one story place to reduce the wear and tear on my knees and other body parts. I enjoy living in a small apartment. The daily maintenance allows me to spend quality time reading, watching and listening to videos of people all around the world. I get to look back and appreciate as well as be grateful and thankful for all the steps that I did. Thanks for this BRvid video. Thanks for reading my comments. Smiles

For those of you wondering about when she is older and the stairs....My husband and I both turned 80 in 2021. We live in MO, thus we have a finished basement with laundry. We have two rails for our stairs. I have back and hip issues, but still go up and down stairs. She may be just fine for a very long time. 🤗

@maggiegray8046 Anos atrás

Just a thought which I'm thinking about. I am also a smidge older and have laundry in my basement. I'm thinking of installing something like a dog gate or something halfway down the stairs - something innovative so IF I take a small tumble or whatever, the closed gate can stop my fall down a couple of steps rather than a full break my neck or back fall all the way down my steps. Just a safety option. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a beautiful home. The outside is just as nice and inviting as the best inside . I love it. Doesn’t look like you’ve been there 3 years. What a lovely tiny home! You definitely have everything.

Absolutely spectacular! Love what you have done. Gorgeous home and yard. I vacillate between living in someplace like Portugal in a place where I can walk to everything AND then I see this and it looks awesome. I'm 68, too, but still have a wonderful job where I'm living on the beach so no need to make any imminent changes -- although one day that will have to happen. Thank you for sharing your journey. I have to add that it is such a great feeling getting rid of everything. I had to sell everything when I realized I couldn't pay the rent AND the heat. I moved to a beautiful room in a big house so I didn't need furniture. I still needed to get rid of more stuff and brought 2 suitcases with me to Kuwait back in 2009. Of course, looking around this apartment here in Kuwait, I'll have to get rid of it all again when the day comes to move. BUT I love being free of material things. Best feeling ever.

The outdoor space, fenced in yard and sizeable shed really make this place feel like a regular home. Seems like a great arrangement. Great job landscaping and thinking of what her animals needed. Would miss not having a bigger table, but glad it works for her.

I'm impressed with all the outside work you did. The pavers are amazing! You are so neat and tidy...something you hardly ever achieve in a big house and yard. I've spent 20 years organizing, and it is always ongoing. This is a fine solution, and what a view! I spied that nice greenhouse on the ridge...you seem to be around interesting people too. :D

I've always been fascinated by tiny homes and yours is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! The only thing I may have an issue with the loft bedroom, not the size of the room, not the bed, but the low ceiling. I would be so afraid that I would wake up and hit my head on it, but I guess it's just a matter of getting use to! Beautiful and very tastefully decorated.

It is a lovely tiny home, and she presented it very well. I only wonder how well its design will work when she is in her late 70s and beyond. I hope to build my tiny home next year, but don't believe in lofts that require crawling in especially those you can't fully sit up in for any back or knee issues. The patio and deck are also great spaces.

@aspiring... Anos atrás

I was thinking the same thing. Kneeling won't be so great in a couple of years. Hopefully the downstairs can be converted/extended to make spake for a bed.

@Fishbabies Anos atrás

Elevator Bed! Problem solved! Bed up during the day, down for sleep. My friend is looking at one for her single-wide 1 bedroom so when she can no longer climb up to sleep in her loft, her bed comes down to her.

I love living in an apartment, and in a secure building, so I pay rent, but it is $850 less per month, and includes all utilities, wifi, and maid service. I order my groceries online for home delivery.

This house is so cute and looks so charming. I don't think I could sleep in that bedroom though, the ceiling is too low for me. If I ever get a tiny house I would have to have a bedroom I could stand up in.

@Connie Lott How do you know that? There are three windows and the one at the head of the bed could easily be an egress point. She probably has an emergency ladder just like any other multi level dwelling.

@judil3294 Anos atrás

I was a bit stunned when you said what your mortgage was. How does anyone manage any more? I'm 70 and just retired. If I was on my own, your home would be perfect. About 6 years ago my husband and I knew we wouldn't be able to handle a mortgage as he retired and consider ourselves so blessed to have found a foreclosure that we bought outright after selling our home. It needed work but my husband has built us several homes over the years and like you we have wild animals for neighbors. Totally love the changes you made, especially to the stair treads.

@lauragb3677 Anos atrás

Beautiful home and see seems very happy. She retired from law enforcement, so I assume she has a pension, which actually puts her way ahead of people that only have 401k’s. She’s in great shape for enjoying retirement and even with the possibility of having to go into a care facility later in life.
