Amazinginteriordesign.com - StumbleUpon. Home-designing.com - StumbleUpon. A Former Pro Snowboarder Has Built An Incredible Off Grid Tiny Home. The American Dream is something that a great number of us, whether intentionally or not, are striving for.

We want to live in a sizeable house with the perfect husband or wife (and that Bugatti in the driveway). Even if that doesn’t necessary describe your version of the American Dream, we all want to be comfortable – understandably so – and comfort for the most part is something that we feel comes with substantial ownership. One-time professional snowboarder Mike Basich once attained this dream, making on average $170,000 year doing what he loves. However, when he got there he realized that the so-called dream isn’t all that it is hyped up to be. Now over 15 years removed from his pro snowboarding career, Mike has found happiness in a life that, on paper, is far less impressive. Mike is the proud owner of a 228-square foot tiny home that is completely off-grid, nestled amongst the beauty and nature of Soda Springs, California.
