Student-Built Tiny House Auction

Handcrafted by the Eukarya Christian Academy trades class · Starting bid: $45,000

Own a One-of-a-Kind Home — and Invest in the Next Generation of Builders

Over the past school year, our trades students designed and built this 19-foot tiny house from the trailer up — framing, wiring, plumbing, cabinetry and finish work — under the guidance of their instructors. Every board tells a story: the timber was milled locally, and the craftsmanship throughout reflects hundreds of hours of student work held to a professional standard.

Now it’s ready for a home of its own. Every dollar raised goes directly back into the trades program, funding tools, materials and next year’s build.

Comparable professionally built tiny homes of this size and finish level are listed at $65,000 and up — this is a rare chance to own one while supporting hands-on education.

The House at a Glance

  • 19’ handcrafted tiny house on a double-axle (tandem) trailer — road-ready with spare tire, stabilizer jacks and safety chains

  • Full bath with shower, vessel sink and flush toilet
  • Glass-top electric range (Forno, stainless) with oven
  • Stainless steel fridge/freezer

Step Inside

The Kitchen

Galley kitchen with cherry cabinets, a black walnut butcher-block counter, open oak shelves on corbels and a stainless Forno range

Cherry cabinets with matte black hardware run the length of the galley, topped with a black walnut butcher-block counter milled from local timber. A stainless drop-in sink with pull-out faucet sits beneath the big window, flanked by open oak shelving on hand-cut corbels. The stainless Forno range gives you a four-burner glass cooktop and full oven.

The Sitting Nook

L-shaped white storage bench with royal-blue cushions beneath two wood-trimmed windows, with the mini-split head mounted above

At the entry end, an L-shaped built-in bench with storage underneath makes a bright spot to eat, read or work — with the mini-split head mounted above to keep the whole house comfortable year-round.

Stairs & Storage

Oak staircase with warm LED strip lighting, built-in white shelving underneath and a stainless refrigerator alongside

Real stairs — not a ladder — climb to the loft on solid oak treads with warm LED strip lighting, and every inch underneath is put to work with built-in shelving beside the stainless fridge/freezer.

The Sleeping Loft

Sleeping loft with a wide sliding transom window, oak shelves on corbels either side and knotty pine floors

The loft sleeps a queen-size mattress under a sloped beadboard ceiling with recessed lighting. A wide sliding transom window and knotty pine floors keep it bright and airy, with oak shelving built into the wall.

The Bathroom

Bathroom with cream beadboard walls, an L-shaped oak counter ledge and a wood-trimmed sliding window above the toilet

A full bathroom, not an afterthought: shower with matte black rain-style head, white square vessel sink on an oak countertop, flush toilet and beadboard walls with a wood-trimmed sliding window.
