How do you want to spend your years of retirement? Why couldn’t they just go to a small town with their best friends and live there?
Even though they all had busy lives and schedules, a group of Texas spouses decided more than 30 years ago to guarantee themselves
group vacations for the rest of their lives. The couples agreed to start their own small village so that they could live closer to each other and to nature.
They’ve built the “Llano Exit Strategy,” a neighborhood outside Austin, Texas, which comprises of four tiny homes with a view of the Llano River.
They spoke about their options while enjoying some wine and food. Their options, according to Outside,
included investing in a fleet of luxury Airstream trailers or buying a piece of land on the Texas coast, both of which were pricy and remote.
They became a more logical group after they finally gathered in one place. The ‘exit strategy’ of the four couples
had to get them within 90 minutes of Austin because three of the four couples lived there. Otherwise,
visiting and keeping in touch would be challenging. The four couples must be able to spend as much time together in the living room as feasible.
Additionally, each pair requires a private bathroom and bedroom, and the home should be as ecologically friendly as possible.
Jodi Zipp and Fred Zipp, her husband, led the hunt. According to Jodi, they wanted a place where
they could all spend a lot of time together eating, drinking, and hanging out but yet being able to separate when necessary.
In states like Vermont, California, and Colorado, the tiny-house craze was expanding. Miniature homes, which are typically less than 1,000 square feet,
were created in real life after being styled to appear fashionable online due to the 2008 financial crisis and the idea that less is more when it comes to living spaces.
The group’s March 2011 acquisition of 10 acres of land on the Llano River and subsequent discussion about future plans with builder Matt Garcia were lucky accidents.
Garcia showed a little hamlet with affordable, environmentally friendly homes to show that not everything in Texas needs to be bigger. For more information on the hometown of the best buddies, keep reading:
