Completed in 2018, the San Juan has captivated thousands of tiny house enthusiasts across the world. After six years of calling it home, Greg and Stephanie have completed construction of a foundation house. As much as we would love to keep the San Juan as a guest house or vacation rental, it just isn’t in the cards for us. We have decided to release it into the wild for someone else to enjoy!
The asking price is $90,000. All reasonable offers will be considered. You can read the full detailed description here, along with more photos: https://rockymountaintinyhouses.com/the-san-juan-tiny-house

- While this tiny house was built to high standards, it does not carry any certifications. We did begin the NOAH cert process when building, just never finished it. It might be possible to re-instate, but it might also be too late. Best suited for a buyer whose situation does not require certification.
While it has been a great house for us, it is sensitive to high moisture in the winter time. We never thought this would be am issue in a place like Durango, but a couple of really wet winters proved us wrong! Two humans and two dogs can generate a lot of moisture in a structure this small. A heat recovery ventilator helps to bring in fresh air, but if the outside humidity is also very high, it will not reduce interior humidity levels. Like several other tiny houses, we had issues with windows condensating. The only solution was to run a dehumidifier to keep indoor RH 40% or less. Skirting the house will also help with any condensation issues where the warm wood framing meets a cold steel trailer.
If you want, we can make modifications at additional costs. Perhaps you would like to have a combo washer/dryer installed in the closet area? Different floors? Different paint colors. Feel free to reach out and we can see what is possible.
We can also help arrange delivery. If the distance is short enough, or destination some place I don’t mind going, I can personally deliver it and help setup at it’s new location. Please reach out with any additional questions, and check out the main description page for more photos/info.
