Spartan "Royal Spartanette" Tiny House - Joshua Tree, California

AN AMERICAN CLASSIC! This one of a kind 35' length Spartan tiny house offers modern updates to a classic design while keeping true to the Spartan legacy of 1950s America. The Spartan model that we chose to restore is an exceedingly rare two door "Royal Spartanette". Less than 600 of this longer more spacious "Royal" version were produced between 1950 and 1953. Our beautifully restored Spartan tiny house was lovingly rebuilt from the ground up over a 5 year period. If you are bored with the sterile and uninspired "boxy" tiny houses on the market, this beautifully crafted Spartan tiny home might be just right for you! Look for our feature coming in Dwell magazine later this month!

Due to the large size and value of the trailer, I recommend hiring a fully insured professional transit service unless you are well versed in towing a trailer of this size and weight. Buyer assumes all risk and all liabilities upon purchase of the trailer. GENERAL INFO Unlike Airstream designs which curve in, this Spartan is straight walled which makes a tremendous difference in feeling open and spacious. You might ask, does it feel as cozy in person as it does in the photos? The answer is that it is even more cozy in person! I am happy to answer any and all questions about the tiny home so please feel free to ask away. This tiny home truly feels like a home. *Please note: The Spartan comes with an external full sized flushing portable restroom unit from PolyJohn as there is no toilet inside. The power connection is a standard 20 amp Edison plug in order to connect to a 30 amp receptacle simply use adapter (120 volts only - do not connect to 50 amp service). The solar panels must be taken off of the roof prior to transit and re-installed once at your location. The solar utility enclosure and components as well as the included external flushing toilet unit must be shipped separately. If you decide that you do not want any of the solar components or the external bathroom, then we can negotiate a fair value reduction in the sale price. HISTORY The origin of the tiny house concept began with Spartan trailers. Oil tycoon John Paul Ghetty purchased the Spartan Aircraft Company in 1935 and later commissioned the construction of these lavish houses on wheels as a means to host investors on his oil drilling expeditions. It wasn't long before a go go 1950s America followed suit as this new concept of luxury and travel began to blossom during this period. The Spartan model that we chose to restore is an exceedingly rare two door "Royal Spartanette". Less than 600 of this longer, more spacious "Royal" version were produced between 1950 and 1953. We are located in Joshua Tree, California about 2.5 hours from Los Angeles and just 35 minutes from Palm Springs. Buyer is responsible for shipping / pickup of the trailer. Payments accepted via Zelle or wire transfer.
