Mortgage-Free at 30 in Their Self-Built Off-Grid Tiny House

At just 30 years old, Lexie and Jed are living mortgage and debt free in a stunning off-grid tiny house they built themselves — despite only having very limited building experience.

In this week’s episode, we meet a young couple who set out to create their dream home with only the most basic DIY knowledge under their belts. Undeterred by the scale of the project, they took on the challenge of designing and building their own tiny house from the ground up — learning along the way, problem-solving, and building something truly beautiful.

Their fully off-grid home runs on solar power and collects rainwater, which means their living costs are kept to a bare minimum. With no mortgage, no debt, and only a nominal rent for their parking space, they’ve created an enviable lifestyle of freedom and simplicity.

Set on a private site with expansive views across a 200-acre farm, their parking spot is nothing short of spectacular — the perfect setting for their peaceful, off-grid home.

This is a story of determination, growth, and the power of creating your own path. Whether you're dreaming of off-grid living, financial freedom, or building your own home, this episode will leave you inspired. We hope you enjoy the episode!

I read a quote a long time back, "wash a dish not just to clean it, but because you love the one who will eat from it." Always stuck with me.

Girl had a dream and “He really delivered!” She says. What an epic love story. Blessings on your precious home.

I've seen a lot of tiny house vids that make me say, "I could live here, " but this one? This one made me say, "This is me. This is perfect for me."

Well done!

Ne kadar huzurlu bir seyir oldu. Yatak odası renk desen uyumları muhteşem. Mutfak, sarı ile ahşabın birlikteliğine bayıldım. İlham ala ala oluşturduğunuz özgün evinizle, bizlere de yeni ilhamlar kattınız. Teşekkürler bu güzel paylaşım için 🙏

Thanks Bryce and Rasa for another video showcasing a tiny house. This couple should be proud of themselves and a job well done on their tiny home. I love their color scheme and lay out….even the knobs on the cupboards. ❤️

Bryce, clearly your channel is making a difference in the tiny home world! So many people you interview make reference to your posts as inspiration for their builds. This is another beautiful build. I've often wondered about cladding a tiny home in black. I thought it would heat up the home. The homes I see are a great resource of ideas. Thank you all for sharing!

As an Aussie, I am so proud of Lexi & Jed! They are such a gorgeous couple, and what they have designed & achieved is spectacular! 💞🌈🌿

This is such a lovely home. I love the rattan kitchen doors and chairs. All the beautiful Australian woods and the stairs at the back off the bathroom. It's so thoughtfully made.
