Tiny Timbers is a one-of-a-kind tiny home agrihood where neighbors share gardens, chickens, honeybees, orchards, trails, and a genuine sense of community. In this tour, founders Melissa and Shane explain how they transformed a vacant property into a thriving neighborhood centered around agriculture, collaboration, and intentional living, while residents Vivian and Brian share why they chose to live there. From the greenhouse and root cellar to the community pavilion, apiary, and shared gardens, every part of Tiny Timbers was designed to bring people together. More than a tiny home village, it’s a fresh vision for affordable, connected living where neighbors know each other, grow food together, and enjoy a slower pace surrounded by nature.

Vivian designed this custom tiny home around two things she values most: creativity and community. Built almost entirely with reclaimed materials—including old gymnasium bleachers, antique stained glass, and historic ironwork—the home is filled with one-of-a-kind details that reflect her artistic personality. Located in an agrihood with shared gardens, orchards, chickens, and neighbors who genuinely look out for one another, the tiny house offered more than just a smaller footprint—it gave her the sense of belonging she’d been searching for. From her colorful mosaic artwork to the bright, functional kitchen and cozy loft bedroom, every inch of the home was thoughtfully designed to support a simpler, more intentional way of life.

After retiring from a 24-year teaching career in Florida, Brian traded suburban life for a handcrafted tiny home surrounded by forests, gardens, and a close-knit community in rural Wisconsin. Drawn to the Tiny Timbers Agri-hood, he found more than just an affordable place to live—he found a lifestyle centered around nature, shared spaces, and simpler living. Built to his custom specifications for just $68,000, the cabin-inspired home features a surprisingly spacious layout with a full-size kitchen, a large ground-floor bedroom, and thoughtful storage throughout. In this tour, Brian shares why tiny living has been the perfect fit for retirement and how downsizing has given him more time to enjoy the things that matter most, including hiking, gardening, cooking, and exploring the outdoors with his dog, Stella.

Interior designer Robin Rick loved the outdoor lifestyle she found living on a horse farm, but when the owner decided to sell, she had to search for a new home. Determined to integrate her independence, her love of nature and her need for a community, she started researching and found the perfect solution in Tiny Timbers, a planned tiny home “agrihood” that incorporates agriculture into a close-knit residential neighborhood. Its shared gardens, hiking trails and even a chicken coop checked all the boxes, and her next challenge came in finding a tiny home to fit the property. Robin turned to Wind River Built, a tiny home construction company that made her dreams come true, building a tiny home on wheels, giving her the ability to move her home in the future.
