Reach out with a Letterbox Drop:

Explore Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace:

People occasionally post land available for rent for various purposes (think horses or camping). You may stumble upon a suitable option for your tiny home.


Unleash the Potential of Hipcamp:

Consider utilising this popular platform that matches campers with landowners for short holiday stays. Landowners already open to hosting campers might also be open to a long-term arrangement for a tiny house.

Tap into Your Social Network:

Harness the power of word of mouth by reaching out to your social network, both online and offline. Connect with family, friends, coworkers, and club members who may know of unused land suitable for your tiny house. Personal connections often lead to successful matches.


Attend Rural or Agricultural Land Shows:

Explore events like AgQuip Field Days to network with landowners. With simplified planning rules in place, farmers in NSW may now conduct tourism-related businesses on their land, potentially opening up more opportunities for tiny homes.
