Woman Living Off-Grid in the High Desert in an ULTRA Tiny Yurt Home

Molly lives off-grid in a tiny yurt on a piece of land that she bought with her two brothers in New Mexico. She bought her yurt secondhand for $2,800 USD including the wood stove. It’s a traditional Mongolian yurt from Groovy Yurts that was handmade and hand painted in Mongolia with natural materials like wood lattice and cotton canvas. The yurt is a circular home that measures 13 feet in diameter so it’s a very tiny house but Molly has organized and decorated the interior beautifully with a small entrance drop zone, a tiny kitchen, a custom loft bed, an open closet space and dresser for storage, a small reading nook, and floating shelves for books, the battery for her solar panels, and her satellite internet. For water, they truck in water from a nearby spring and then use that to fill smaller jugs that they can carry around the property. For a toilet, they have an open-air outhouse. And for bathing, they built an outdoor tub that heats the water with a fire underneath.
