EP 66: Tiny Homes: Revolutionising Rural Development

← aLL podcast EPISOdes

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Preserving open range land while providing housing and a sense of community is possible through sustainable development

  • Tiny homes can be a solution for housing in rural areas, appealing to both younger generations and retirees

  • Creating a model community that preserves land can be replicated in other ranching areas

  • Partnerships with vineyard owners and investors are crucial for funding and moving the project forward

 

John Riggs, an architect and rancher, shares his vision for creating sustainable communities that preserve open range land. He discusses his project, Mare Pasture, which aims to develop a small, walkable, and sustainable community on ranch land in Arizona. The community would include various types of housing, such as tiny homes, and would preserve a significant portion of the land for grazing pastures and vineyards. Riggs is passionate about leaving the land in better shape for future generations and believes that this model can be replicated in other ranching areas.
