Thank you for posting this. It gives me hope for my retirement ! Not sure where I'll land, but I can tell you, thanks to folks like you, this movement is taking hold.
@@annjames1837 yes and are disappearing in many places intentionally because of zoning restrictions. Also, tiny houses on wheels aren’t allowed in all "trailer parks" because there built using a hybrid of RV and stick-built housing standards.
My parents have an old hobby farm - videos like this inspire me to dream BIG about what could be done with their property some day. Thank you for sharing!
Really nice to see larger space with room for garden and to build a studio/shed. I never understood how people can not have a shed. I could only do a tiny home if I had a separate office studio AND a shed!
Very happy to see tiny house communities like this one. A tiny house is not just a leg up towards a typical oversized, resource guzzling American house. It is a way of life that takes less resources from the Earth and gives tiny house homeowners both less indebtedness & more freedom to live a fuller human life. A lower resource footprint, a smaller carbon footprint, the possibility of running on renewable energy, and the necessity to acquire fewer material things. The opportunity to break the cycle of consumer spending addiction, garbage creation and storage unit renting for owning even more unnecessary crap. Plus the ability to move on if your local environment goes to $h1t. Global climate change, a sixth mass extinction, and a massive worldwide debt bubble all suggest the wisdom of going tiny...
I love the fact for someone like me doing research on Tiny Home living that they offer an Airbnb to test the idea. Definitely looking to utilize my PTO and check it out!!!
Great video. Appreciate the owner's honesty about the challenges. Hopefully communities like his will continue to help pave the way for more ! Thank you for the content 😊
Love the park!! And am grateful for the couple that built this place to house the tiny homes🙏 However, I think his Lot Rent is astronomical!! Up to 825 dollars a month, and all they cover is sewer and garbage??? So, the people that reside there who are trying to live affordably are still paying for recycling, power, cable + dwelling taxes??? Like I said, cudos to the couple that built the park, but.. he's making a killing .. I watch a lot of tiny home channels and this is by far the most expensive for rent... People need to go tiny because they can't afford high rent or mortgage payments... It's not just for young couples starting out, what about the elder community who lives off of social security or a pension??? If your rent is already topping out at 825 a month, where will this "Rent" end up?? Are you going to up it every year??? Just like an Apartment? So... In all things considered, Are the owners really trying to give people a break?? Or are they in it for their own personal benefit? I watch, as I said so many of these tiny home villages being made, and your's by far is the most Expensive. More than 300 dollars a month from some I've read about... Even ones in California... God Bless You Both and Hope you start to see the bigger picture... Helping your fellow friends live a comfortable, affordable, Happy life... One that they don't have to stress about yearly when the rent goes UP! JUST REMEMBER, WHEN YOU BLESS AND HELP PEOPLE, IT WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
We do get this comment from people unfamiliar with housing, land and development costs in locations like Durango. We had the option of developing condos or homes selling in the $800,000 range as is being done down the street. They quickly sold out. That route would have been much more profitable and less hassle with building and zoning. Our development may not be the right fit for you. There are smaller RV style spaces in less desirable locations at half the price. There are more expensive and nicer ones as well. To each their own.
@@louisaisthankful6455 it’s a glorified trailer park in a nice location and apartments is like comparing apples to oranges. She is arguing the sudden rate hikes; which is illegal in some states. The owner may choose to do so but it’s Not out of love of his fellow man but the dollar. Oh it’s true, it’s true!
We really appreciate Chris’s perspective because the reality is the more housing options available the better & diverse housing options are a critical part of that!
The trailor parks use to be great for low income, but these days, not so much. I appreciate that you see that there needs to be something for the low income.
$700 for a parking spot that they will never own is insane. I wish more people had the option to rent and buy land straight from the government and not have to be involved directly with landlords that will over charge at every opportunity they have. $300 for a parking spot is still a profit per tiny house… $700 is greed.
Not too bad of a price for Colorado. I live in Aurora and pay over $1600 per month for a small one bedroom. I think it’s a great price considering its location, location, location. There are other parks in other states that have lower income levels if that’s what you’re looking for.
Thank you posting this beautiful area. I'm going to be in the market next year to buy a tiny home and I need info to dealers in your area to purchase. Hopefully you'll have a spot for me next year. Ty. Your doing a great job 😉.
This fascinates us. Do you consider it a good alternative for a about-to-retire senior couple, looking for affordable possibilities? Thanks in advance for your help.
I would like to know more about the return on investment for the property owners. Yes they do it to help people but there must be a finial gain as well. Maybe not up front but what about the long haul?
$650-800 with sewer, water, landscaping, snow removal, irrigation water for gardens, fruit from orchard, and community gathering space. Internet and electric is extra; electric about $20-45/mo (on individual meter)
Being born and raised in Colorado and seeing the homelessness population rise over the years along with astronomical housing costs, this is just ridiculous. The point of tiny living was to lower expenses, reduce clutter and live a more simpler life that was affordable and comfortable. Just like with the van life craze, people have now taken advantage of this movement and turned it into another commodity made for the wealthy. The lot rent for a piece of land you'll never own is outrageous and greedy. Shame on them really.
We just sold the tiny house we had as an Airbnb so it is no longer available for nightly rental. We are having another one built but it won't be available until next year.
In this super expensive area for development costs, there’s not a huge profit in this business. Definitely very cool for a landowner, on their personal family home property, to create a housing opportunity for others. Not right for everyone but for those who want or need to live in this area, it is far less expensive than a market rate apartment. 😄
@@TinyHouseExpedition Like he said, before it was just unproductive unused grassland, now he has a monthly cashflow and he is providing a low cost option for tiny house owners, a win/win situation for all.
Es gefällt mir nicht! Keiner bei euch hat draußen ein kleinen Garten und sieht wie ein Abstellplatz aus.... Steckt mal ein bisschen mehr Liebe in euer Projekt, dann wird es cool ;-) Gutes Gelingen euch :-)

The developer has a really great mentality about housing in general. Would love to chat to him and just pick his brain.
Thanks for the video!
So happy to share! Love how he thinks and that he, as a developer novice, invested in such a wonderful community on this family land ❤️✨
Love this place..he did a great job in developing it ..seems very warm and welcoming there 🏡

Beautiful tiny homes on wheels and the scenery is lovely 🌳🌳
We love the 360 Mountain views 😍💓
Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes look at what it takes to create a tiny house community. 🙏
Happy to share! It really takes so much dedication to make something like this happen 😅
It's definitely Not a trailor park. People need to be able to afford a home. Thank you for doing this!❤

I think you might want to take a look at the cost of apartments in Durango.

It's Hermosa, Colorado. Very high-end property. There are other places that are much cheaper.
Absolutely, I agree with Your Sentiment

I just love that staged coffee pour with no coffee and both going.. save the scene save the scene. and nobody does.
Great attitude with starting out in the housing market..tiny homes are marvelous lifestyle 🏘🏖

I can't wait to be my own Tiny house rental community someday.
Love the dream!
Lot price too high...sorry
That's nice that you rent out the tiny cheaper to friend's and family.
This was super to see..I'm glad that you guys featured this tiny home park
Happy to share 😊✨🏔
What a beautiful location and view.
The location is superb 😍☺️✨
$700 for a parking spot that they will never own is insane.

It depends. What are his taxes? What did it cost to create the mandated parking? 300 isn't much anymore
Includes sewer and water
Mobile homes have to pay space rent and home owners often have to pay high HOAs.
I think this is a good option until you find a nice piece of land.
no property taxes or HOA. @@georgewagner7787and

Whoa! Hot springs!
What a nice man this was a pleasure.
Thank you MaryAnne!
How Cool! What a Neat Guy!
Yikes...way too expensive to be crammed in like this. Nope. At first I thought it was ok but then he said that.
Corporations are watching and salivating over this. They will be buying out all of these parks just wait and see
Not this one. We will be leaving it to our kids.
Hopefully the tiny house community won't let this happen. 🤞

Best wishes with your tiny journey Patricia! Rocky Mountain Tiny Homes and Korallus Tiny Homes are two great local builders 😊
Great video! Good to see Alexis do an ad, XO Macenna offered same brand!!!
Thanks very much! 🥰
So wonderful I really like what I am seeing
Is this just a trailer park with extra steps?
What do you mean by extra steps? Extra legal steps?
Great job!
Really lovely to see someone like Chris go out of his way to create a place to live for others ☺️✨
This is so cool and a great thing ,thanks
Thanks for watching!
Me and my bf live in co and are rlly thinking abt doing this
This fascinates us. Do you consider it a good alternative for a about-to-retire senior couple, looking for affordable possibilities? Thanks in advance for your help.
This is awesome thank you
Appreciate the kind feedback 😊✨
That recycled tiny home is too cool!
A beautiful community..wondering if a fence can be utilized for my dog?.
We think they will allow shorter fences or electric ones 😊
I wanna see the rental.
I would like to know more about the return on investment for the property owners. Yes they do it to help people but there must be a finial gain as well. Maybe not up front but what about the long haul?
I'd like to know what the properties are worth if I want to stay out there for a couple years
Forgive me, but are there permanent foundations?
Hi! Does anyone know if a second dwelling is allowed on my single family lot/backyard can I place a tiny home there? What would be the requirements?
My nephew's name is also "Hawken". Wow I've never heard anyone else by that name.
Oh wow! We’ve only heard that name once
The name "Haakon" is pretty common in Scandinavian countries, though it's sometimes pronounced "Ho-kon."
Hi 👋, so these are only for rent , you can’t buy one ☝️ and just pay a lot fee ?
You can bring your own tiny house on wheels and rent a lot to park it on 😊
Do you still have spots available? August 2022?
We believe there’s 1 or 2 open. Contact Chris here and tell him Tiny House Expedition sent you: www.hermosapark.com 😊
what are lot rents? what is included or not?
$650-800 with sewer, water, landscaping, snow removal, irrigation water for gardens, fruit from orchard, and community gathering space. Internet and electric is extra; electric about $20-45/mo (on individual meter)

You guys in Colorado currently? Haven't seen you in a while. -JR
Now in central Oregon 😁☺️
You can see why they named it "Hermosa."
😍🏔
Lot rent is a bit high, especially if you are payingc
on a home still. Imagine very low income, teacher aide. I appreciate you doing this though.
as long as theres no screaming brats next door. when you get older you value silence!
Is there a link to your Airbnb tiny home rental?

@@TinyHouseExpedition That IS good. Sorry for my incorrect assumption of this Tinyhouse community.
