Most, he said, have a minimum 1,800-square-foot rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Cinderblock-Frame.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Cinderblock-Frame.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Cinderblock-Frame-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Cinderblock-Frame-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Cinderblock-Frame-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/agents\/tony-luna\">Tony Luna<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casa Luna, as the project was dubbed, would be 600 square feet when completed, which meant finding a place to build could prove difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as fate would have it, a friend had the perfect property for sale, and Luna was able to purchase a piece of land near the lake\u2019s Sligo Marina with no size restrictions. Even better, the property had a beautiful, year-round view of the Center Hill Lake waterfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But soon thereafter, the real estate agent ran into another snag in his plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the contractors he spoke with weren\u2019t interested in such a small build, citing the multi-thousand square foot jobs were where the money was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tennessee, property owners are permitted to build one home without having a contractor\u2019s license. So, without an outside contractor to build his tiny abode, Luna committed to taking on the challenge himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, Luna\u2019s family owned a marina much like the one in Sligo where his tiny home would be located. Both places were dotted with \u201cshed-roof\u201d style rental cabins that Luna incorporated into Casa Luna\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-House-Framed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-House-Framed-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-House-Framed-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-House-Framed-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-House-Framed-1-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/agents\/tony-luna\">Tony Luna<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI drew-up the floorplan on a napkin,\u201d Luna said, \u201cand then I taped the whole house out in a parking lot so I could get a better sense of the layout\u2019s flow. I knew where I wanted the kitchen, bedroom and living area to be, but I found out on my walk-through that I didn\u2019t like the bathroom placement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew I wanted to build a shed-roof tiny home as a sort of homage to Sligo Marina\u2019s original cabins and to my roots,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had no intention of selling, at least not initially, he confessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ground broke in June 2017 and construction continued for roughly seven months before Casa Luna was complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the while, Luna chronicled the building\u2019s progress on his social media accounts and immediately gained attention from lake lovers across the state looking to buy his finished project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI lived in the house for about six months and had several people ask me about selling. I finally thought, \u2018well I\u2019ll list it and see if anything comes of it,\u2019\u201d Luna said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 30 minutes of listing the property, he had a bite, and within 12 hours, Luna had accepted an offer from a financial advisor who had been following his story online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the property\u2019s new owner uses the Center Hill Lake tiny home as an Airbnb, which she tells Luna has been one of the best investments she\u2019s ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Internal-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Internal-view.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Internal-view-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-Internal-view-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/agents\/tony-luna\">Tony Luna<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the potential for more tiny home builds across Center Hill Lake, Luna said a tiny home boom is unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained, \u201ceven though we do have a lot of land listings on the market here, many of them are located within subdivisions where you can\u2019t build tiny homes, or they are in old fishing camps from the 1970s that were originally divided into small lots. Today, you have to buy multiple lots to have a space big enough to build, and in those cases, it becomes a big undertaking to contact multiple owners of individual lots just to build one tiny home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that\u2019s not stopping Luna from continuing with his hobby. In fact, \u201cCasa Luna II\u201d will be completed by the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think the tiny home trend will continue to grow. Younger generations are starting to buy on our lakes, and these minimalist homes are exactly what they are looking for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to their compact design and less severe impact on the environment, Luna also said tiny homes are attractive because they are so much like the lake\u2019s luxury properties, but on a smaller scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy tiny home projects are on permanent foundations, just like the homes on the lake now. And I build these homes with the highest quality materials,\u201d he continued. \u201cI use high-end hardwoods, all custom cabinets, real granite counter-tops\u2026 the panoramic door on Casa Luna II costs $8,000 alone.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-SOLD-1-1024x751.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10152\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.365296803652968;width:782px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-SOLD-1-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-SOLD-1-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-SOLD-1-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tony-Luna-SOLD-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/agents\/tony-luna\">Tony Luna<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luna plans to list his second tiny home in about two weeks, and will then take a break from building for the next year, but he assures his followers this is not the end of his tiny home journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until his return to the construction scene, Luna will continue serving the Center Hill Lake community as the area\u2019s lake real estate expert, developing new designs and searching for land where he can embark on his next not-so-tiny adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many real estate agents enjoy spending their spare time engaged in activities unrelated to the industry.
