ONE-LEVEL TINY HOUSE ON GABRIOLA ISLAND

If you’re looking for a one-level residence, guest house, granny suite or studio (with 2 storage lofts), consider this mostly-finished 26 ft x 8.5 ft Tiny House on Wheels (THOW) that can legally be transported on BC roads.

Gabriola is in the southern Gulf Islands of BC and has ferry and float plane connections to Nanaimo and Vancouver. It has been almost a year in building, but life plans have changed, so now it is up for sale.

Now that restrictions on auxiliary buildings and RVs as residences on the islands are no longer enforced due to the housing crisis, it’s a good time to invest in this practical solution to your own housing needs – whether as a primary residence, guest quarters, studio, or shop, or whatever you can imagine.
