Laurens, SC – A new tiny home community specifically designed for adults aged 45 and older is currently under development in Laurens County. Named The Timbers of Laurens, this pioneering community is distinguished as the first family-owned and operated tiny home village in the area and is set to occupy a tranquil 15 acres of wooded land, just minutes from Interstate 385 at 3315 Metric Road.

After a few years of development, the project is now actively moving forward. The community will feature a total of 40 tiny homes, each with a maximum size of 399 square feet. This layout provides a spacious environment compared to many other tiny home communities, which often have over 160 homes squeezed into 20 acres of land. Property Manager Katie Haddan emphasized this unique aspect, noting the emphasis on ample living space among the residences.

Residents will have the choice of five different home models, with a variety of customization options available. Pricing for the tiny homes will range from $135,000 to $150,000, and this includes the installation of the homes on the property. Once settled, homeowners can expect monthly costs to be between $700 and $800, which covers essentials such as power, water, sewer, and other on-site amenities.

The Timbers of Laurens is designed to foster a sense of community and outdoor living. A gated entrance leads into the community, which will feature several fire pits, a walking trail, and a wildflower meadow, creating an inviting environment for residents to enjoy nature. In addition, plans are in place for a visible Community Center, intended to host family functions and gatherings in the future.

Another important aspect of this community is its pet policy. The Timbers of Laurens will be a dog-free area, allowing only service dogs, which ensures a serene living experience for all occupants. This commitment to peace and quiet aligns with the community’s focus on creating a welcoming environment for older adults seeking a simpler lifestyle.

The rising popularity of tiny homes over the last decade can be attributed to their appeal as an eco-friendly and cost-effective living alternative. One notable model within the community encompasses 394 square feet, inclusive of a king bedroom, a full bathroom, a full-sized refrigerator, and a well-appointed entertainment wall with built-in storage. These designs encourage homeowners to embrace a lifestyle focused on outdoor activities and minimalism, reducing the burden of excessive belongings.

Although applications for residency are not yet being accepted, the community is currently collecting expressions of interest from potential residents. Individuals eager to learn more about this new community are encouraged to reach out to property management via email at [email protected] or to visit the community’s official website for further details.

The projected move-in date for The Timbers of Laurens is slated for the summer of 2025. The developers are optimistic that this unique living space will appeal to a growing demographic of adults looking to balance community and the simplicity of tiny home living.
