We spend time with you discussing your vision and what you want in your tiny home and answer any questions you may have. Then we take all that information and we turn it into a 3D digital design so you can see exactly what your tiny home will look like.

It typically takes 12-14 weeks to build a custom tiny home.

Our 384 sq ft tiny home takes us less than an hour to clean.

In our opinion – absolutely! It’s a simple and easy way to add square footage to your tiny home.

Yes they are. Not every RV park or city/town accepts them and it may require jumping through a few extra hoops but is overall completely worth it.

One of the difficulties with tiny homes is storage. As tiny home dwellers ourselves, we completely understand that. That’s why we do our best to work storage into each of our designs, whether that means a hydraulic lift bed with storage underneath, pull out storage in the kitchen, storage in the stairs, etc.

Absolutely! We’ve lived tiny for 3 years and it has changed our lives dramatically. We have more freedom, more money, and have grown closer as a family unit. We travel all over the country from the comfort of our own home

No! We build custom tiny homes that you can place on land, no wheels involved! We call them park models and they are easily customizable to fit your needs. The benefits of park model tiny homes is that they can be much larger, can be installed on your land so you don’t have to worry about finding places to park it, and are more customizable than mobile tiny homes because there are far less restrictions.

Yes! If you only want a tiny house blueprint/design, we can certainly help with that. We offer customized tiny house designs starting at $400.

We can certainly work with that! If you want to be the one to finish out the home, we are more than happy to build the tiny house shell for you. This can be a great way to cut down on cost or be a big part of the project yourself.

The biggest difference is in the materials. RV’s aren’t built to last, the average life of an RV that is lived in full-time is 5 years. A tiny house, on the other hand, is built using the same materials as a regular home. We don’t cut corners so you can rely on the stability and utility of your tiny home, something that will last you for decades to come.

So you wanna buy a tiny home? Four steps to your dream tiny home:

  • Step One: secure your financing so you know your budget.
  • Step Two: secure your location to park your tiny home. Will you buy land? Park in a family or friend’s backyard, or a Rv park or community? See more info at this blogpost:
  • Step Three: choose your builder. You can schedule a free 30 minute phone consultation with Hill Country Tiny Houses to discuss your project. We will use your budget and needs as the guideline. If you wish a custom design, we offer that too. (At this phase, you may want to schedule a tour of one of our homes and/or you may want to book a weekend stay in a tiny home to confirm it’s the right decision for you.)
  • Step Four: now you’re ready to dive in and make your big dreams come true! We collect a $2,000 deposit to start your project. This will be credited back when you place your final order. We start designing your custom home with our software, the floor plan, the elevations, choosing colors and finishes, all the fun stuff!
