    This is one beautiful home !
    Village Farm is a beautiful community, it has concrete, grass, trees, and two pools, just like a big/regular community
    development.
    He got a good deal for this beautiful home. The kitchen doesn't have a lot of counter space, but it is durable and gorgeous. Whoever designed this gem did a fabulous job inside and outside. I really love this build.
    I like the fact he added the deconpose granite in the yard, he has a beautiful yard. It really looks like a yard you would find in a big development.
    And removing the wall in the kitchen was a good idea, it's more open.
    The home looks bigger than what it is. The front and back porches are a nice size.
    I have seen this video before. The bunny joke was corny, but funny 😀
    This man is Really chilling in his later years, enjoying life, that's the way to do it after working many years. He gets to relax in this beautiful home and community, with the things he enjoys around him.

    I love these tiny homes but never would I ever want to live in a community that you still have to pay rent for the lot your house sits on. Utilities aren't even included so you're still making pretty much a huge house payment. You never get away from it! That is the only downfall of these little tiny home communities. I'm sure you may feel safer there and the camaraderie is great but you're still forking out an enormous amount of money after you retire, and that, in my book, MY own book is not feasible. No doubt about that 😵‍💫
    I absolutely positively love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love these tiny homes though 😁🪄✨❤️💖

      $750 per month would be excessive property taxes if that is what you’re implying. That’s $9000 per year……maybe if you own a mansion on a lake. Property taxes here $670 per YEAR!!!! And it’s for over an acre of land surrounded by trees and mountains NOT concrete and neighbors within arms reach. Try again to justify……

      @anony1312 18 дней назад +2

      Agreed, I also never see a fence surrounding the property with these places. Sometimes you just want to sit in your garden with privacy or just want a marked out version of your outside space. He has a small partially enclosed terrace, that wouldn't be enough of me

    • @briancollins3177
      @briancollins3177 10 дней назад +1

      I pay 650 a month plus my utilities, which are generally about another $50-$75 a month all in for gas water sewer electric. That 650 a month includes Internet and cable plus weekly landscape maintenance and or replacement if needed we have organic farm as an amenity at our core with a fully restored 125-year-old farmhouse, and additionally, the home is gone up in value more than double the monthly total payment including my utilities. My water bill alone in the summer months at my previous home could be $200 a month plus another 150 to 200 for electric, they each about $25 a month here.

      That $650 includes lawn and landscape weekly maintenance, Cable TV, Internet, valet trash and recycling pick up or propane tank refill. We have a beautiful historic organic farm at our core, with a fully restored 125 year old farm house, barn, green house etc as amenities, among others. With average home prices hovering around $500,000+ and one bedroom apts renting for $2,000 and up. My tiny home seems like an incredible bargain,....and the fact that it has increased in value by another $80,000 not only pays for ALL my overhead I have had since moving here,....it has also put another $1,000 of value in my bank account every month I have lived here should I decide to selll.

    Austin is crazy town when it comes to prices. Village Farm now at $160,000 and $750 monthly lot lease is a poor value. His place is nice, but as a senior retiree there are lots more affordable cities in Texas.

    $$$$$ lot rent. I think for MOST seniors, it would have to be 1/2 of that to be affordable.
