Starting Price: $110,000
Size & Layout: Approximately 640 sq ft (20’ x 16’). The Terra Elevate offers a spacious, single-story layout with one bedroom and one bathroom, fully ready with plumbing and electrical connections. Its design features raised ceilings, creating an open and airy ambiance, complemented by premium finishes and abundant natural light from expansive windows.
Key Features:
Gourmet Kitchen: The kitchen in Terra Elevate is a chef’s dream scaled to tiny home proportions. It features custom cabinetry with built-in pull-out pantries and clever corner solutions, all finished in your choice of premium woods or colors. Under-cabinet LED lighting illuminates the solid-surface countertops, creating an inviting glow for late-night cooking. The appliances are full-featured and integrated: a 24” panel-ready refrigerator blends seamlessly with the cabinets, a two-burner high-efficiency induction cooktop and a separate convection oven (large enough for baking or roasting) provide ample cooking capability, and yes – this model includes a dishwasher (a drawer-style dishwasher) to handle cleanup. The deep apron-front farmhouse sink (approx 24”x20”) not only makes a style statement but is extremely functional for washing larger pots and pans, and it comes with a built-in filtered water dispenser for drinking water. An island measuring about 5 feet long (60”L x 28”W) anchors the kitchen, offering extra prep space, more storage via its 3 cabinets/drawers, and bar seating for casual dining or chatting with the cook.
Expanded Living & Dining: Terra Elevate’s living room is our largest yet, comfortably fitting a full-size couch or a sectional, along with entertainment center or shelving. The open plan means the living area flows into the kitchen, but there’s a dedicated dining solution as well: a beautiful expandable dining table that can seat 4 for daily meals and unfold to accommodate up to 6 when you have guests. This flexibility is great for dinner parties or family gatherings, proving you can host in a tiny home. When not in use, the table contracts to save space. Coupled with the kitchen island seating and the spacious living area, Elevate makes socializing and everyday living truly enjoyable. Large windows and designer lighting fixtures (including pendant lights over the island and stylish floor/pathway lighting along the staircase) add to the ambiance. Every light in the home is dimmable and thoughtfully placed for layered lighting – from bright task lighting when you need it to soft, warm lighting for movie night.
Luxury Bath Retreat: Indulge in a spa-like bathroom featuring a 36”x36” tiled shower with premium tile work and a rainfall showerhead. The shower enclosure includes a glass door and high-end fixtures, giving a luxurious touch. The toilet is a high-efficiency flush model that minimizes water use while still providing excellent performance. The vanity is a custom-built piece with a quartz countertop, an undermount sink, and an LED-lit mirror that offers great lighting for your morning routine. At 24” wide, the vanity provides ample counter space, and drawers beneath hide away all your toiletries. We even include convenient touches like in-wall niche shelves in the shower and a sliding barn door or pocket door for the bathroom to save space without sacrificing style. The entire bathroom exemplifies elevated design – it’s bright, polished, and tranquil.
Premium Finishes & Comfort Underfoot: Throughout Terra Elevate you’ll find top-tier finishes that set it apart. The flooring is a premium LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) or hardwood option – not only gorgeous and available in various finishes, but also equipped with radiant floor heating. That’s right – the Elevate comes with in-floor radiant heat that keeps your toes warm on winter mornings and efficiently heats the home from the ground up. (Radiant floor systems can be several times more efficient than traditional forced-air heating, delivering comfort quietly and evenly.) The windows are all triple-pane, wood-composite framed units with low-E coatings and a slight UV tint – they provide superior insulation and noise reduction, truly a step above standard tiny home windows (triple-pane glass can improve energy efficiency by around 40% compared to double-pane windows, meaning less heat loss in winter and less heat gain in summer). Every detail, from the trim work to the cabinet hardware, has been selected for quality and visual appeal. Terra Elevate feels less like a container and more like a high-end custom home.
Additional Features:
Abundant Storage & Laundry: One of the hallmarks of Terra Elevate is the creative use of space for storage. You’ll discover custom built-ins in unexpected places – from a bookcase that doubles as hidden storage to an under-stair pantry. There’s even an attic storage area tucked above the second-floor ceiling for keeping seasonal items or gear. Clever hidden compartments are integrated into furniture and stairs, perfect for valuables or simply maximizing every cubic foot. Despite all this storage, nothing encroaches on your living space – it’s seamlessly integrated into the design. Additionally, a dedicated laundry closet houses a stacked, vented washer and dryer unit, so you have full laundry capability just like a conventional home. No compromises here – washing clothes is convenient and out of sight.
Smart Home Technology & Climate Control: Terra Elevate comes standard with a smart home upgrade. The smart thermostat learns your schedule and preferences, adjusting the temperature to keep you comfortable while saving energy (studies show smart thermostats can trim roughly 10–15% off heating and cooling costs on average). Paired with the efficient ductless mini-split system (with multiple indoor zones), this home intelligently maintains your ideal climate on both floors. You can even control your heating and cooling from your phone, ensuring you always come home to the perfect temperature. We’ve also outfitted Elevate with a smart lock on the front door for keyless entry and enhanced security – you can lock or unlock your door remotely and never worry about losing keys. From lighting to climate, the Terra Elevate is ready for integration into your smart lifestyle.
Superior Windows & Entrance: The upgrade to triple-pane windows does more than just save energy – it also keeps the interior quiet and comfortable. Even if your tiny home is in a bustling area or subject to harsh weather, these high-performance windows significantly dampen outside noise and eliminate drafts. They, along with robust insulation in walls and roof, ensure that the interior environment remains peaceful. The front door of Elevate is a beautiful solid wood door with a large glass panel for natural light, fitted with a smart lock as mentioned. This door isn’t just pretty – it’s insulated and secure, giving your home a true residential feel. Outside, you’ll find a full covered porch and deck at the entrance, just like on the Select model but expanded. The porch provides a great outdoor seating area or mudroom space, and the overhang is perfect for enjoying a rainy day without getting wet. Whether you’re drinking morning coffee on the porch or watching the sunset, the indoor-outdoor transition feels smooth and intentional.
Outdoor-Ready and Off-Grid Potential: With its high-efficiency systems and construction, Terra Elevate is well-suited for sustainable living. The home’s electrical system can be configured for solar panel integration if you choose to go off-grid in the future. Its low energy requirements (thanks to LED lighting, superior insulation, and efficient appliances) mean a modest solar array could power it. We include rainwater catchment-friendly roof design and a tankless water heater option as well (if desired) to align with eco-friendly goals. In essence, the Elevate is future-proofed for green living. (Even if you stay connected to the grid, you’ll enjoy lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint due to the home’s smart design.)
Design Highlights: The Terra Elevate’s design marries modern luxury with the cozy charm of tiny living. The interior color schemes are customizable, but we lean toward light, neutral tones with natural wood accents to enhance the sense of openness. The use of glass (from the staircase railing to the big windows) ensures sightlines remain open and every corner receives daylight. The staircase itself is a focal design element – not only is it functional, but it’s crafted with hardwood treads and metal rails, contributing to the home’s open-concept feel with a floating stair aesthetic. In the evening, integrated pathway lighting and under-cabinet lights in the kitchen create a magical glow, turning the home into a cozy haven. On the exterior, the container origins are chicly dressed with optional wood or metal cladding accents, and that covered porch extends your living area, giving the facade depth and character. In total, Terra Elevate’s design demonstrates that small homes can be truly stunning, combining architectural creativity with a heartwarming atmosphere.
Comfort & Efficiency: Life in Terra Elevate is comfortable by design. The insulation, triple-pane windows, and tight building envelope work together to minimize drafts and hot/cold spots, so every room stays at a consistent temperature. The radiant floor heating system provides silent, even warmth – no more cold spots or noisy fans; heat rises gently from the floor to warm you and your furniture (many tiny home builders find radiant heat not only cozier but also significantly more efficient than other systems). In warmer months, the high-efficiency mini-split cools the home effectively, and the smart thermostat ensures energy isn’t wasted when you’re not home. Thanks to the advanced windows and insulation, the mini-split doesn’t have to work hard – the home naturally stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which is a major benefit of the triple-glazed windows and proper insulation. Even lighting contributes to comfort: the LED lights emit very little heat and can be dimmed to reduce glare and eyestrain, while still saving electricity. Overall, Terra Elevate maintains a comfortable climate year-round with minimal energy use, letting you enjoy a luxurious lifestyle that’s as green as it is cozy.
Sustainability & Warranty: Terra Elevate is the pinnacle of our sustainable design efforts. We follow a zero-waste construction philosophy for this model – meaning during the build process we minimize material waste by efficient planning and recycling of scrap. The use of repurposed shipping containers reduces the need for new structural materials, and the recycled-content finishes (from reclaimed wood options to recycled glass tile backsplashes we can offer) showcase our commitment to eco-friendly luxury. Water conservation is built-in with low-flow fixtures, and energy conservation is evident in every appliance and system choice. When you choose Terra Elevate, you’re not just getting a beautiful home – you’re also making an environmentally responsible choice. We back the Terra Elevate with our most comprehensive warranty package: a 5-year structural warranty, plus 2-year coverage on appliances and systems. And as an Elevate owner, you receive priority support – our customer care team will be at your service to promptly address any questions or issues, giving you extra peace of mind. This home is an investment in quality, sustainability, and your future, and we stand behind it fully.
