Wasatch 28′ Tiny House

March 1, 2016 By Greg Parham 43 Comments

Wasatch 28' tiny house exterior

We now have plans available for this design here!

Introducing the Wasatch, a custom 28′ tiny house for a family of four. The Wasatch Range in Utah extends from the Idaho border into central Utah, forming the western edge of the Rocky Mountains. Most of Utah’s population lives in the valley to the west of the range.

This is a stick framed structure with spray foam insulation built on a 18,000 GVW custom trailer. The house itself weighs 11,700 lbs dry. Wall framing is set at 8′ in width, it is almost maxed out on height at 13′-5″ .

Notable features of this house include beetle kill pine flooring and ceiling, a bedroom with bunk beds on the first level, a full size bathroom, a good sized kitchen, a large master loft with built in storage that doubles as privacy, a second loft to act as storage or lounge space, abundant light, and a few other clever details.

My photos didn’t come out very well, but there are a few at the bottom.  The video tour quality is decent. This build came in at about $76k with all the features included.

    Once again (of course), the design is simple but spectacular! Bright layout, plenty of storage, seems to have a roomy feel for a tiny house! Thanks for sharing Greg! I was going to get a tiny house for retirement, but I have moved my tiny house goal date to 6 years from now (when my son graduates high school), instead of 25 years from now. Why wait!?!?! You always have the best most sensible design, keep up the good work.

        on average we are seeing 28′ in the 75k range. This build would be similar

    Could this be built with another extra bedroom and a on-grid toilet? Like have the bunk room lead into a third bedroom and extend the loft? Thanks

    It will be more efficient if the bunk beds were foldable (Murphy stile), son when not in use; the room will look bigger. How much $ for a 30′? I have a design on paper.

    Amazing! What I was thinking for our family of 4! Love the white walls but also all the wood. Just was wondering if you could take out the tub and do a shower to make more counter space in the kitchen? And is it plumbed for a washer/dryer? Thank you. Expensive but so well done and ideal for us. Will definitely be considering this tiny house.

      Every house is built to order. This house is plumbed for a w/d and they already have it installed.

    I absolutely love the beetle kill, especially combined with the white shiplap. Very serene and pleasing to the eye. Beautiful work! Hopefully, we will have a conversation one day about building my tiny house : )

        I would love to finance this home. How much is needed down? Also, can changes be made? Like adding a second staircase where the door is and moving the door to the other side of the home?Placing the window in between the staircases?

          You will have to speak with a financing company to see how much they would require for a down payment. We do not finance in house. We can customize the house to meet your needs, even draw up a completely new design if need be.

        Hello, after a serious operation my husband is seriously thinking of building tiny houses. I’m all for it! I cannot find a better craftsman than him. For instance, he recently made and sold a pocker table for a measly $3,500. Made out of black walnut and maple. Beautiful piece and we let my nephew steal it. Anyway, we live in North Idaho about 60 miles from Canada and as far as I can tell we’d have little competition. So, my question is, would you like to expand to North Idaho? Or, can we become part of Rocky Mountain Tiny House’s crew?

          You would have quite a bit of competition not only from the builders already established in Idaho, but from builders in the PNW, midwest, and even myself since these houses are on wheels and can be moved anywhere. We have hit the maximum size we wish to get and don’t plan on getting larger anytime soon. I do wish you guys luck if you pursue the passion.

    Are the plans for this design up anywhere? If selling plans, how much? I would make the extra little bedroom downstairs into a closet/makeup vanity area, and the roof space between lofts into a screened in kitty space. Awesome design!

    This is exactly what we had in mind for our growing family! Brilliant! A couple questions for you; can you also mame is completely off grid? compost toilet, solar panels, rain catch basin with arsenic filtration for whole house? And what type of truck would be best to pull something like this? We currently have a F250. And at 30′ would this be street legal or would we need permit? Sorry for so many questions but thank you!!

    Reply
    • Greg Parham says

      October 12, 2017 at 6:18 pm

      Yes, we can make just about any of our builds fully off grid. A 99′ diesel F250 or newer would be up to the task, although if it is a short wheel base you will get jerked around a bit. You will also need a weight distribution hitch. This model is only 28′, but yes we could go up to 40′ for a bumper pull and still be legal since width is under 8′-6 and height under 13′-6.
