This $35,000 Tiny Home Proves You Don’t Need More Than 161 Square Feet to Live Well

At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, the Tulsi by Simplify Further Tiny Homes doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t. It has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. That restraint is exactly what makes it work. While the tiny home market is crowded with builds that either sacrifice livability for aesthetics or pile on features that inflate the price tag, the Tulsi threads the needle — landing at a starting price of $35,000 for a fully functional, NOAH-certified home on wheels.

The Florida-based builder behind it, Simplify Further, has built a reputation around the idea that quality and simplicity aren’t mutually exclusive. Their motto — “Simple Living, High Thinking” — runs through every design decision in the Tulsi. The build carries a BBB Accredited A+ rating, and its certification as an RV through NOAH means it meets a recognized standard for workmanship and safety.

Designer: Simplify Further Tiny Homes

At 161 square feet, the Tulsi packs in a kitchenette, a full bathroom with a shower stall, a flush toilet, a mini sink, a built-in seating area, a main-level queen-sized bedroom, and a loft. The loft measures 7 by 4 feet with a 36-inch height at the low side, accessible by ladder with black metal railings — tight, but functional. The height under the loft sits at 6 feet 4 inches, which means the main living area never feels like you’re ducking through a crawl space.

What sets the Tulsi apart from its contemporaries is its genuine flexibility. The main level bedroom isn’t a compromise — it’s a feature. For guests who don’t mind the loft, you could designate the loft as the main sleeping area and convert the downstairs bedroom to a living room. That kind of adaptability is rare at this price point. In the kitchen, buyers can opt for open shelving or swap seating for additional cabinet storage — a small but meaningful decision that shapes how the space actually lives day to day.

Simplify Further positions the Tulsi primarily as a guest house or mother-in-law suite — a secondary structure that gives visitors full independence without removing them from the property entirely. But the build has proven versatile enough to serve as a short-term rental, a starter home, or a full-time residence for someone drawn to the economy of small living. The Tulsi by Simplify Further seamlessly blends convenience and comfort, making it a charming addition to any property.

For a 161 square foot box on wheels, the Tulsi has quietly earned its place as one of the more thoughtfully designed entry points into tiny living — and the numbers back it up.
