Ep 4. Oregon Pear Farmers Build Tiny Home With a View in Their Orchard

Oregon Pear Farmers Build Tiny Home With a View in Their Orchard follows a couple, Sally and Ed, who are looking to simplify their lifestyle by downsizing into a tiny home. The couple currently owns and operates a pear orchard in Oregon and wants to build their tiny home on their property with a view of their land.

The episode starts with Sally and Ed meeting with their real estate agent, Shannon, to discuss their vision for their future tiny home. They want a home with a rustic aesthetic that incorporates natural materials such as wood and stone. They also want it to be energy-efficient and have a lot of natural light.

Shannon shows them three potential properties that could accommodate their tiny home, all located on their pear orchard. The first property is a hillside spot with a stunning view but requires more excavation than the other two options. The second option is less expensive but has fewer trees and is closer to the road. Finally, the third option is the most expensive, but it already has a foundation and basic infrastructure.

After seeing the three properties, Sally and Ed decide to go with the first option on the hillside with a view. The couple works with a local architect, Casey, to help design their dream tiny home. They want to have plenty of storage, a loft bedroom, a full-size kitchen, and lots of outdoor living space.

The rest of the episode follows the couple as they work with Casey and the general contractor to build their tiny home. They face several challenges along the way, including harsh weather conditions and the difficulty of building on a hillside. Despite these challenges, Sally and Ed are determined to make their tiny home a reality.

As the building process comes to a close, the couple is excited to move into their new home. They are especially pleased with the layout and the amount of natural light that floods in from the large windows. They enjoy their new outdoor space, which includes a fire pit and a porch swing, and are thrilled with the views of their pear orchard.

In the end, Sally and Ed are happy with their decision to downsize and build a tiny home in their orchard. They feel that it allows them to simplify their lives and focus on what's important, all while enjoying the beauty of their land. The episode concludes with the couple settling into their new home and starting a new chapter in their lives.
