Designed by Tiny Timber Homes, the Old Man Pine brings a roomy and practical approach to tiny home life. Its extra-wide layout and well-planned spaces make it suitable for families who want to downsize without feeling cramped.
- Spacious tiny house with apartment-style interior
- Two loft bedrooms plus flexible third loft space
- Full kitchen and sizable bathroom with laundry
What happened
Tiny Timber Homes recently introduced the Old Man Pine, an innovative tiny house designed for comfortable family living. The home’s triple-axle trailer foundation allows it to be wider than typical tiny homes, measuring 2.9 meters across. This extra width creates a more spacious interior that resembles a small apartment rather than a compact micro-home.
The house features an open layout with a central living area that includes a large sofa and a wood-burning stove. Its kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, four-burner propane stove, sink, fridge/freezer, and generous storage, making it practical for preparing family meals. Two lofts and a ground-floor bedroom provide flexible sleeping arrangements.
Why it feels good
Families looking to downsize often worry about losing personal space, but the Old Man Pine eases this concern by offering room to move and relax without sacrificing the tiny home lifestyle. Its thoughtful layout balances privacy and communal spaces, with a sizable living room, distinct bedrooms, and even a designated office or extra bedroom loft accessible by ladder.
Large glass doors and tri-fold windows blur the line between indoors and outdoors, enhancing the sense of openness. Features like the laundry area with farmhouse sink and a roomy glass-enclosed shower add real-life conveniences that contribute to a comfortable everyday living experience.
What to enjoy or watch next
The Old Man Pine is currently available for purchase starting at NZD 145,000 (around US$83,000). Prospective buyers should contact Tiny Timber Homes directly for delivery details and custom options. Its combination of extra width, practical design, and family-friendly features makes it an appealing option for those intrigued by tiny living but not willing to compromise on spaciousness.
As more families explore downsizing solutions, watching how designs like the Old Man Pine evolve to meet diverse needs will be exciting. Meanwhile, tiny house fans can look forward to seeing more models that broaden the definition of what compact, sustainable living can look like.
