Spectacular Federation-Style Tiny House Redefines Home With Jaw-Dropping Cottage Charm

Video Description

In this week's episode, we meet Lana and David, an inspiring couple who built a stunning tiny house with classic cottage charm on 25 acres of farmland in rural Victoria, Australia. What began as a DIY project has grown into a beautiful, heritage-inspired tiny home and a flourishing homestead filled with creativity, character, and soul. Nicknamed “River”—after the beloved TV series River Cottage—this tiny house is anything but ordinary. Designed with nods to Australia’s federation-era architecture (think vintage details, ornate woodwork, and timeless style), this home feels like a storybook cottage—yet it’s cleverly compact and incredibly functional. From a full-sized kitchen and cosy lounge to a loft bedroom, craft room, and thoughtful storage, this tiny house proves you don’t need to be a minimalist to live tiny—you just need to be intentional. Each space is filled with meaningful items, souvenirs from travels, and creative expressions that turn this small home into something truly special. And the story doesn’t stop at the front door. On their 25 acres, Lana and David have planted orchards, started market gardens, and built a large polytunnel—laying the foundation for a life of self-sufficiency and purpose. 🏡 Tiny house design inspiration 🌱 DIY homesteading in Australia 🎨 Big personality in a small space 🚜 Starting a small farm from scratch 💡 Living large with intentional design If you enjoy our show and would like to help support our work, please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig Our Socials and Links: https://linktr.ee/livingbig Find out more about this tiny house and others on our website: https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com/ Please subscribe for more videos on tiny houses, architecture, DIY, design, and sustainable, off-grid living.
