I am also looking for land to on which to build a tiny house.

I am in the Northampton, MA area and one of the major problems is that I cannot find land where the local city or town will let me build such a small home.

Ideally I would build a tiny house on wheels and place it on some land and bring in utilities. A tiny house on wheels is basically an RV and many towns have rules against "habitating" in an RV.

The penultimate situation would be to build an actual house that is just super small, with all the normal built on the ground stuff, i.e. full utilities. :) I realize that this is really my best option for living in town. I just cannot find land I can afford in town.

Any one have any suggestions on where or how I can do this kind of thing in Western Mass, specifically the Northampton Area?

I would be willing to live an a more rural area in order to accomplish this, my wife however really wants to live close to town. We have to work that out, as I said it is just too costly to get land close to town that I can build on. :(

Thanks,
Pete

It's a terrible state of affairs !

I've heard that the Zoners in East Longmeadow won't allow trailers either . . . . even if it's a nice shiny new Double-Wide. Just lacking in good taste, I guess.

Dale,
Do you know of land in Vermont where I can do what I am describing?

Thanks,
P.
