Mortgage-Free at 30 in Their Self-Built Off-Grid Tiny House

At just 30 years old, Lexie and Jed are living mortgage and debt free in a stunning off-grid tiny house they built themselves — despite only having very limited building experience.

In this week’s episode, we meet a young couple who set out to create their dream home with only the most basic DIY knowledge under their belts. Undeterred by the scale of the project, they took on the challenge of designing and building their own tiny house from the ground up — learning along the way, problem-solving, and building something truly beautiful.

Their fully off-grid home runs on solar power and collects rainwater, which means their living costs are kept to a bare minimum. With no mortgage, no debt, and only a nominal rent for their parking space, they’ve created an enviable lifestyle of freedom and simplicity.

Set on a private site with expansive views across a 200-acre farm, their parking spot is nothing short of spectacular — the perfect setting for their peaceful, off-grid home.

This is a story of determination, growth, and the power of creating your own path. Whether you're dreaming of off-grid living, financial freedom, or building your own home, this episode will leave you inspired. We hope you enjoy the episode!
