I hear from many of you who have a dream of living a homestead lifestyle on your own property out in the country. Natalie and her family had a similar dream, and they were determined to do it without taking on a mortgage. Rather than opting for an RV or tiny home, they turned a shed into the cottage of their dreams. Natalie joins me in this episode to share about the process, answer frequently asked questions, and talk through their long-term vision. I hope Natalie’s story inspires your creativity and resourcefulness as you work toward your own dreams!

In this episode, we cover:

• What led Natalie and her family to sell their property in Texas and build a 750 sq. ft. shed home in South Carolina
• Making a small house work for a large family is easier than you may think
• Why a shed house is the perfect solution for families who dream of living on land
• What costs should you factor into a shed home build?
• These long-term options make a shed home worth the investment
• What it’s really like living with four young boys in a tiny house
• Answering the most common questions about Natalie’s shed home
• Logistics of moving a large family with farm animals
