Next to the tiny home on 13989 Long Gulch Trail in Littleton, CO
, a Phoenix totem pole stands guard. For owners Kristen Moeller and David Cottrell, this small house rose from the ashes.
The couple had previously lived in a cabin on the 36-acre property since 2003. However in 2012, Moeller was forced to flee with their two dogs and a cat, and not much else, to escape the flames from the Lower North Fork Fire. Their home burned to the ground.
Last summer, the two constructed the 772-square-foot home together with help from a Cabin Fever custom kit, and then appeared on A&E’s “Tiny House Nation.”
The home, which Guth says offers “lots of land, privacy, and incredible views,” could work as a vacation spot. Or, for a heartier soul, a year-round residence.

I don't think $490K is unreasonable either, for a custom home on 36 acres with those kind of views. The only downside I see to living there is the lack of internet access, which I know was an issue for Kristen and David both working from home as they do.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
