Ever dreamed of a tiny home that doesn’t feel tiny? Well, dream no more because Mint Tiny House has just redefined small-space living with the Orca, an extra-large tiny home that delivers all the comfort and grandeur of a full-sized house—without the massive footprint.
At 44 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 13.5 feet tall, this single-level home-on-wheels is the brainchild of marketing expert Farai, who set out to prove that going tiny doesn’t mean giving up space or style. And guess what? No cramped lofts, no ladders, and definitely no squeezing into awkward corners!
A Tiny Home That Thinks Big
What makes the Orca a total game-changer in the world of compact living? Let’s start with the fact that it boasts two full-sized bedrooms, a roomy living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy bathroom, and even a dedicated laundry room. With 528 square feet of cleverly designed space, this isn’t just a house—it’s a statement.
The high ceilings and clerestory windows flood the home with natural light, giving it an open and airy vibe that makes you forget you’re in a tiny home at all. And don’t worry about extreme weather—this beauty is built to handle anything from brutal -30°F winters to scorching summers, thanks to spray foam insulation and a dual-zone heating and cooling system.
Luxury Meets Functionality
Step inside, and you’ll immediately notice that nothing about the Orca feels “tiny.”
• Kitchen Goals: With tons of storage, a double-door fridge, a propane oven with a stovetop, and Butcher Block countertops, this kitchen is designed for serious cooking. Oh, and yes—it has a dishwasher!
• Cozy Yet Spacious Living Room: A fireplace, room for a 65-inch TV, and French doors leading to a deck make this the perfect space to relax or entertain.
• Two Full Bedrooms: The main bedroom fits a king-sized bed (yes, really!) and has a private door to the deck. The guest room holds a queen-sized bed and even has a built-in desk for a home office setup.
• A Real Bathroom: No composting toilets here—this one has a full shower, matte black fixtures, and a traditional flush toilet.
• Laundry That Works for You: A full-sized washer and dryer plus extra storage mean no sacrificing space or convenience.
Is It Really a Tiny Home If It Feels Like a Regular House?
Of course, all this luxury comes at a price. With a CAD 231,000 price tag (around USD 170,000), the Orca is definitely on the higher end of the tiny home spectrum. And since it weighs a hefty 27,000 lbs, moving it isn’t exactly a DIY project—you’ll need a heavy-duty truck and a pilot vehicle to transport it.
But according to Farai, it’s totally worth it.
“This home truly mimics the experience of a traditional house—but with the freedom and flexibility of a tiny home. If you want to downsize without compromising, this is the way to do it.”
With the Orca, you’re not just getting a house on wheels—you’re embracing a whole new way of living. So, whether you’re a minimalist, a sustainability enthusiast, or just someone who loves a well-designed home, this extra-large tiny house might just be your dream home in disguise.
