Jackie and Robb left behind the pressure of city life in Sydney and set out to build something completely different.
Now living off-grid on nearly 20 acres in the Tasmanian wilderness, they’ve created a life that feels grounded, independent, and deeply intentional. Surrounded by forest, a flowing stream, and even their own waterfall, this is a world away from where they started.
At the heart of it all is their beautifully designed tiny house. After living in a previous tiny home, Jackie carefully designed this one to truly work for their family. The result is a space filled with clever ideas, from the light-filled dormer windows and split roofline to the unique loft walkway with a see-through floor connecting the two sleeping spaces.
Beyond the home, the property continues to grow. There’s a music studio for their work as professional singers, a treehouse for their son Wycliffe, and even a converted bus where Jackie’s mother lives on the land with them.
With solar power, gas, and plans to grow more of their own food, they’re building a life that’s more self-sufficient, resilient, and connected to nature. After everything they’ve been through, this isn’t just a tiny house. It’s a fresh start and a completely new way of living.
