Backcountry Containers continues to push the boundaries of creative, functional living spaces with the Augustine tiny house, built using a 40-foot shipping container. This versatile structure is perfect for rural living, hunting lodges, or a unique off-grid home. With its compact design and flexible layout, it offers an efficient use of space for both living and storage needs.
The Augustine tiny house features a durable metal exterior with a dark gray “Iron Ore” paint finish, giving it a sleek, modern look. Inside, the shipping container has been transformed with insulation, windows, and a front door for a comfortable living experience. The interior boasts pine walls, vinyl flooring, and a charming shiplap ceiling, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The open living area, located just inside the front door, is a multi-purpose space. It includes a large sofa, a dining table for two, and chairs. This area can be easily converted into a bedroom with a sofa bed or bunk beds to suit the needs of its occupants. A small yet functional kitchen is nearby, featuring a fridge, sink, cabinetry, and even a coffee machine. There’s also room for additional appliances, making it easy to cook and relax in comfort.
The bathroom in the Augustine tiny house is snug but equipped with a flushing toilet, sink, and shower, ensuring all basic needs are met. On the opposite side of the container, you’ll find the garage space. While it may not accommodate a full-size vehicle, it’s perfect for an ATV or similar small vehicle. This area can also be converted into a master bedroom or another sleeping area with bunk beds, depending on your preferences.
For added convenience, the Augustine comes with standard hookups for power and water, ensuring it’s ready to go. If you’re seeking a more self-sufficient setup, it can be upgraded to be completely off-grid with solar panels and water tanks. For those who want to enhance their outdoor living space, options like a rooftop deck with a staircase and a wood-burning stove are available, although these upgrades come at an additional cost.
Currently listed for $75,000, the Augustine tiny house offers a unique, sustainable living option that combines flexibility, modern amenities, and practicality, all within a compact, portable structure. Whether you’re looking for a rural retreat or a customizable tiny home, the Augustine is an ideal choice.
