    Loved the aesthetic of the home and its location. A missed opportunity, I think, was not creating an outdoor deck where one could sit and have a drink or meal. Didn't seem like there was anywhere to put one's clothes/suitcases when vacationing there. And last, not having a shower in the unit, especially in the winter, would not be ideal.

      sitting right beside nature, and you need a bath or shower to meditate? Are you sure it's meditation your doing? There's water in the river! And it hasn't been processed by human hands. I strongly suggest you connect with something like nature... and natural water... friend. I won't apologize for sounding bossy. It's for your own benefit. xo

    Its an interesting place, but there are some major turn-offs as well. I don't really like the idea of an open bedroom above my dining area. I'd be nervous of things dropping down. I don't like the fact that there aren't any curtains. Another thing that I would find less than ideal is that I have to transport the grey and black water to another location on the property. That does NOT sound like fun. I also don't like that there doesn't seem to be any privacy WITHIN the home. The bedroom is open and people below can see straight up into the room. Showers being in a separate building can also be incredibly annoying.
    Its a beautiful property, but they chose aesthetics over practicality. It would have been better in my opinion of they would have made a better mix.
    Though, this isn't my favorite property, I do thank you for showing it in this video!

      @@janeysiegrist5061 Did you see the rain on the water outside? And that doesnt look like winter to me. Granted, there are those ladies who would be unfazed by that, but then there are those who wouldnt enjoy the cold muddy trip to and from the shower.
      Understand this: I live in a tiny house with an outside solar heated shower/toilet. I guess you might call it a "wetroom". Summer is great IF Im home while the sun is shining, but last winter I installed a shower indoors.... I just had to.
      This setup MIGHT be ok for a rental unit, but not for living permanently, but to be honest, I'm not really interested in watching videos about fab rental pads, although, I must concede, there are sometimes some good ideas to be gleaned. Im much more interested in seeing how people live their lives in small dwellings and how they deal with the challenges. One of which would be going out to the shower in winter.

    A septic tank is a way to go, but if the house were 1 level hight, we could have and entire sewage treatment system, a garage, and a gym or an atellier, just under it.
    Despite que great view around, without city lights astronomy is a must. I would put longe chairs and a telescope on the ceiling. Good to watch wild life too.

      Hi and thanks for your comment :) We always try our best to show a mix of people living in spaces as well as builders and also some rentals. When we feature rentals we try to find places with interesting and unique designs that might inspire or give people ideas. It's also very challenging to find people who are living in alternative spaces week after week so we have to balance everything as best we can. That being said, we plan to show less rentals moving forward. Thanks for watching :)

    Wow. This place is great...mostly. The garage door is very cool and it being screened is really sweet. It would be good for a family or even a group of friends. The living/dining areas are obviously set up for a few people. The garage door is cool, but what's even cooler is that it's screened.
    The first downside is having to go outside to shower, especially in the winter! The second downside is the kitchen. Yes, it's nice to have a grill, I'm not sure how thrilled I'd be to do that in the snow. So really the only real cooking area is the 2(?) burner in the corner area of the small counter/prep area...which is NOT spaious. If one is cooking for a family or small group, good luck. So much space is given everywhere else, but not the kitchen??? I didn't even see a toaster oven, let alone a real oven. This is a complete deal breaker for me.
    Whoever designed this place either doesn't like to cook or just doesn't. Even coming up for a couple of nights with my family this wouldn't work. I don't feed them prepackaged 'food' that just needs to be heated up or just thrown into a bowl.
    What a shame. If this had a real kitchen it would be a great place.

I don't cook a lot and maybe the idea is that people will grill on the outside bbq, but fridge would be enough for steaks, veggies and drinks for 1 night. 19l of water for washing dishes lol. Will the garage door insulate enough?
      ÍWould be much cooler if there was more sitting area outside and/or on the roof. Shower is not nearby, so feet will get dirty before returning.
