Lexi and Diego Newkirk moved from urban Austin to a serene rural setting in Texas, acquiring 12.5 acres for $180,000. They built a 640 sq. ft. home using two shipping containers, each costing $5,500, as an affordable living solution. Their project began after they were denied permits for a commercial venture to create an Airbnb ranch, prompting them to prioritize personal residence. As they complete their home, they aspire to foster a complete homestead on their property, reflecting their desire for a simpler life away from the city's bustle.
"We grew up in the city and we wanted to escape it."
"We're living on 12-and-a-half acres and I love it - It's like our own little city."
