A Tiny Home Community for Veterans
Mission Statement

Our Goal
To provide fully contained tiny cottages for veterans who need safe reliable accommodations at an affordable price.
The Village
18 acres of land in the City of Shelby, NC
Fish pond, nature trails, disc golf course and picnic grove

The Cottage
Fully contained 200 square foot cottage with a full bath, kitchenette and sleeping area with heat/air conditioning.
Plus a front porch to enjoy the beautiful wooded area and neighbors
The cottage will be at an affordable rate and will includes all utilities
We are hoping to have at least 50 cottages scattered throughout the wooded property.

Reusing Resources
We believe in reusing the resources that are on the property to make it better.
The old barn area has become our sawmill area where we are taking the trees we have had to cut down and milling them into wood to transform the property with a wonderful wood fence. In addition, wood will be used to make benches, picnic tables and accents for the cottages. Smaller trees and branches are being chipped for mulch for along the new fence line and flower beds.
The old tin roof will be used to create and art walk across the village where local artists and students will be invited to share their talents.
Phase One
Build first set of cottages, create new entrance to village, design community center.
Picture shows the overall property layout and the small box is the area for phase one.
