A TINY home enthusiast has constructed his property featuring a jacuzzi, terrace, and carport.
Robert Abasolo built the two-story, 330-square-foot tiny home in California for $60,000.
He purchased the plan for the Conejito home for $149 from The Small House Catalog and began building in Joshua Tree, California.
The DIY expert came up with the idea after renting out a studio apartment on Airbnb and figured it would help pay off his mortgage.
On Instagram, Robert explained that he took out a seven-year $45,000 loan for the build as that was the projected cost.
Under the terms of the loan, the monthly note was $691 and the rent was set at $1,500 per month and so he hoped to have it paid off within three years.

Rober explained: "Eventually once this is paid off, it’ll cover roughly half of my mortgage.
"I currently have a studio apartment (underneath my house) that I rent out on Airbnb. That makes about $2,000-$2,500 a month.
"So between that and my tiny house, I’ll have my mortgage covered. Why pay my mortgage when someone else can do it?"
However, during construction, the price increased to $60,000 as Robert admitted: "I could skimp on many final details, but I really want to do this right."

The interior features a spacious and fully-equipped kitchen with a modern design with a small dining table.
There is a sofa that converts into a bed and a smart TV in the living area.
Downstairs there is also a bathroom with a tub, toilet, and sink.
Upstairs, there is a bedroom with a double bed that leads out to a small balcony to admire the view.
Outside, there is a carport, a slightly protected seating area, and a jacuzzi that looks out to the sunset.
On Airbnb, the tiny home is currently available to rent for $143 per night, down from its usual $275.
Situated just eight minutes away from the Joshua Tree National Park, you can have a perfect time away with relaxation and privacy.
Robert states: "At a full 300 square feet, you'll enjoy the regular luxuries of a full-size home without sacrificing comfort!"
The home can keep up to four guests, though it would be a tight squeeze.
Airbnb customers have given it an average of 4.95 stars out of five.
One reviewer said: "The home was beautiful and the hot tub and deck were great places to relax.
"Super close to the entrance of the park and you’re able to see the stars well at night."
