Multi-Generational Tiny House Living for Retirement on Shared Property
Customer: Erika
Model: Sojourner
Location: Uralla, NSW
Purpose: Retirement home
With the cost of living continuing at all-time highs and the property market out of reach for many, there is a rise in multi-generational living on shared property. As Erika's story exemplifies, this has some lovely benefits and joys.
For Erika, retirement wasn’t just about a change of pace and location — it was about being close to the people she loves while still enjoying her independence.
Moving into a Sojourner Tiny House in her daughter’s backyard allowed her to be present for her grandchildren’s early years, sharing in their laughter, milestones, and daily adventures. Yet, she found the space to recharge, pursue her own interests, and embrace this new chapter of life with independence.
5 years on, Erika is still enjoying her stunning small space. Erika's house was the one featured on Better Homes and Gardens.
“I moved into a tiny home in the backyard of my daughter’s family’s place and have been able to enjoy close proximity with my grandchildren and to help, especially when the kids were little. It’s brought us closer together but I’ve still enjoyed my independence.”
As one of Häuslein’s Iconic Past Models, the Sojourner embodies the essence of simplified, meaningful living—a home that offers both connection and freedom, proving that retirement can be rich in love, light, and new possibilities.
