Spartan "Royal Spartanette" Tiny House

AN AMERICAN CLASSIC!

This one of a kind 35' length Spartan tiny house offers modern updates to a classic design while keeping true to the Spartan legacy of 1950s America. The Spartan model that we chose to restore is an exceedingly rare two door "Royal Spartanette". Less than 600 of this longer more spacious "Royal" version were produced between 1950 and 1953. Our beautifully restored Spartan tiny house was lovingly rebuilt from the ground up over a 5 year period. If you are bored with the sterile and uninspired "boxy" tiny houses on the market, this beautifully crafted Spartan tiny home might be just right for you!

SHIPPING AND PICKUP

Buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping & pickup. Due to the large size and value of the trailer, I recommend hiring a fully insured professional transit service. If you meet my asking price, then I will split this transit cost with you up to $3500. I have towed the trailer myself for several hundred miles with no issue, however, unless you are experienced with hauling trailers of this size and weight and you have a solid vehicle with a trailer break system (I recommend a dually truck with a V8 engine) then I suggest hiring a professional service to bring it to your destination. Buyer assumes all risk and all liabilities upon purchase of the trailer. Please note - the solar panels must be taken off of the roof prior to transit and re-installed once at your location. The solar utility enclosure as well as the external flushing toilet must be shipped separately. If you decide that you do not want any of the solar components or the external bathroom, then we can negotiate a fair value reduction in the sale price. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
