Snowboarding pioneer and photographer Mike Basich built himself an epic Tiny off-grid cabin. Without a bedroom or bathroom per se, but equipped with a hot tub and chairlift, this gorgeous Tiny House is most perfectly situated in the heart of the Sierras.

Basich began his career as one of the pioneers of snowboarding. Once embroiled in competitions, he lived a very "big" life which he describes as the American dream: a 4,000 sq. ft. home and expensive car, but ultimately it left him feeling unsatisfied. He bailed out of competitive snowboarding and integrated his passion for photography with his love of the sport.
Long before the days ofGoProcameras, Basich would hook up rigs for full-sized cameras so he could film while riding.
Eventually his path led him to shed his possessions in search of something more, and finally, inspired by nature and deciding against falling for the charms ofboats for sale in Vancouver BC, Mike Basich decided to build himself an off-grid Tiny House in the woods. Armed with an appreciation for the great outdoors and a desire to learn to live off-grid, he bought 40 acres in the Sierras where he could do just that.
After five years of hard work, Basich had a beautiful and artfully designed tiny home, respecting the principles of thegolden ratio完全符合他的生活方式
He spent about two and a half years on the stone work alone. All of the water for the mortar was hand-gathered and he hand-mixed the cement that would eventually hold together approximately 175 tons of rock.
小屋建成后，在朋友们的帮助下，他做了绳索拖，然后做了升降椅，基本上把他的后院变成了他们的私人游乐场。迈克把他的成就描述为实现了童年的梦想，我们当然可以看到原因。

In case you're wondering, Basich does have a second home - on wheels.
