If you love real estate as much as we do, you’ve almost certainly asked yourself this question: “can I take it with me everywhere I go??”
Okay, maybe not. Maybe the marketing team got a little too hype with this one.
But here we find ourselves. So we’re proud to introduce: portable real estate.
Don’t knock the van
Vans aren’t just for electricians, people. While we might not be quite ready to ditch the apartment and commit to #vanlife, plenty of people are. (As evidenced by the 13 million posts so tagged on insta.)
We’ve got to admit, it doesn’t look so bad:
Is it real estate? Not really. Can you drive it? Sure can! Can you live there? Why not?
But portable real estate isn’t just for ex-urbanite hipsters. If your vibe is less boho and more flex, consider our next choice:
Private Tour Bus
The world of custom-built RVs is really something. Check this out:
Insider even put together a listicle: 11 luxury RVs nicer than your house. Sure, the price of entry is a bit steep—these bad boys go for a cool $3 million—but also, that’s the price you pay for air conditioning, large TVs, a self-cleaning toilet, and (we imagine) gold-plated faucets.
Too fancy for your wallet? Try an
Ikea Trailer
Okay, technically you can’t drive this option. But it does have wheels. Just add a pickup truck.
Is it “the world’s most beautiful tiny house,” like Forbes apparently said?
Maybe. I’d take that to Yosemite, eight days a week. Plus, it’s apparently the product of a collaboration with—you wouldn’t guess this so we won’t make you try—Ikea. (Although you wouldn’t know it, because this one comes preassembled—no Allen wrench required!)
And hey, it even one-ups the #vanlife crowd by adding an in-unit washer and dryer.
If you like the concept, but fancy yourself the nautical type, you could always try a
Houseboat
If you don’t mind moving to Dubai, this can all be yours:
Pretty nice, no? And the master bedroom is actually below the waterline.
They take pains to emphasize that the windows are shark-proof.
Is it real estate? Sure, why not! Do we want to live there? Yep, that’s an easy one. Sure, you can’t “drive it” in the conventional sense. But we’re feeling pretty okay about that.
But if you do insist on driving, you could always call up Elon Musk.
Tesla Camper
Let’s face it: we all knew this was a matter of time.
Once the long-awaited Cybertruck hits a showroom near you, you’re gonna buy one. And once you do, you’ll be asking yourself: can I get a camper for it? And—since you’ve read this article—you’ll know the answer is yes.
The $24,000 “Space Camper” attaches to the top and uses pneumatic struts to hold up a chic-looking home away from home.
That’s not the only Tesla camper solution, either. Check out this little number:
Will it look out-of-place at a campsite? Sure will! But can you drive it? Sure can! Will you want to? Ehh.
Time to hit the road
With that image living rent-free in our heads, that’s all for this one. May your dreams be full of vans, Elon Musk, and hygge.
