A TINY hometown in Kansas has been created by a supporter of the tiny house movement.
Set in nature, lots start at just $540, but residents must meet four requirements to live in the community.
O Tiny House Village Getaway is located in Kansas City, Kansas.
The village was built on a property that was once a junkyard filled with old car parts, tires and scrap metal.
The junkyard was transformed into a beautiful village in 2019 when the first phase of construction was completed.
The village has eight small residential lots for rent, a community garden, a dog park and a laundromat.
It was created by Wyllard Hartley, who alongside his wife has lived in a variety of tiny spaces – including a travel trailer, a motorhome, a bus conversion and a tiny house on wheels.
In 2013, Hartley was hired to build a housing development on the outskirts of Forth Worth, Texas – 30 miles west of Dallas.
Instead, his passion for tiny homes led him to convince the homeowner to build a tiny house community.
Six years later, Hartley built Hideaway Tiny House Village, a vibrant community located amid nature.
