Self Contained Tiny House

This is a very tiny, super cute, and fully self contained one-person residence in a private backyard garden setting in Bayside. The house has high ceilings, lovely windows, a loft bed platform, and an open air but covered outside bathroom on the deck (complete with clawfoot tub). Total covered space would not exceed 300 square feet - including the covered deck/bathroom area - but it is light and bright, and very charming and functional for the right person. Tenant will also have access to an organic vegetable gardening area adjacent, plus a chicken coop which is available for use if you want to have chickens.

The tiny house has an on demand hot water heater and a two burner gas cooktop (no oven) - so the tenant needs to be able to fill and haul and connect/disconnect the five gallon propane tank as necessary (i.e. take it down to the local gas station for a re-fill). The house is also on well water, but you need to fill water bottles for drinking water (water bottles and propane tanks provided). The tenant also pays a share of the other utilities (electricity, garbage, sewer, spotty wireless internet), usually between about $25 to $33 per month total depending on the season. Wireless internet at the property, but patchy reception at the house itself - you could always check your email in the garden??

Landlord lives on site in the main house. Property is located in Bayside (but within Arcata City limits), close to the Jacoby Creek School and the Beachcomber cafe, 2.2 miles to the Arcata Plaza and HSU, about 1.0 mile from the Murphy's Market in Sunnybrae. Not particularly close to any bus lines that I'm aware of, but easy bike riding if that's how you prefer to get around. In fact.big points to any one who doesn't have a car :)

No pets (other than chickens perhaps). Absolutely no cigarette/tobacco smokers.

Prospective tenants must be available to meet in person. Month to month rental agreement - $635 per month rent plus $1000 security deposit. Available now. Call 707 407 5061 for more information. Please leave me a message if I can't answer right when you call. Thanks and goodluck in your house hunting.
