About Indigo River Tiny Homes
Indigo River Tiny Homes is a custom builder located in Athens, TX, specializing in tiny homes on wheels (THOW) that are designed to offer full-size living in a compact footprint. The company is veteran owned and operated by Peter Huggler, an army veteran, and his wife Christina. The founder and lead builder brings over 18 years of construction and home-improvement experience to the business, having designed tiny homes on wheels since 2017.
Unlike manufactured homes or standard RVs, each build from Indigo River Tiny Homes is a custom project shaped by the homeowner's input and a selection of base floor plans. The goal is to create homes that can withstand daily use over the long term while incorporating comfortable, livable features. The company has made hiring veterans part of its operating philosophy and has employed veterans from four branches of the U.S. military.
Services and Construction Offerings
As a builder focused on custom tiny homes, Indigo River Tiny Homes offers a range of construction services tailored to each project, including:
- Custom trailer foundations
- Custom kitchens and bathrooms
- Custom carpentry and storage solutions
- Custom exteriors and interiors
- Standard RV utilities along with custom off-grid options
- Custom plumbing and waste water management systems
- Tankless and standard water heaters
- Custom heating, cooling, and air flow management
- Radial tires rated for trailer weight and towing
In addition to fully custom, move-in-ready builds, the company offers THOW shells for buyers who want to finish interior work themselves, as well as tiny home plans and trailers for those pursuing a more complete do-it-yourself approach. All homes built by the company are designed to be road legal and towable, whether owners choose to hitch the home themselves or arrange for professional towing.
Visiting and Touring Builds
Indigo River Tiny Homes does not maintain a traditional showroom of model homes at its Athens location, given its scale as a small custom builder. Instead, the company opens each newly completed home for tours at its Athens shop prior to delivery to the homeowner. Any move-in-ready homes currently available for sale are also typically open for touring during these events.
The company additionally manages two tiny homes at Lake Richland-Chambers, which can be booked for a lake getaway stay or visited for a private showing. Serious buyers interested in viewing current builds, consignment inventory, or the lake houses are encouraged to reach out directly to arrange a private tour. Updates on upcoming tours and events are posted for those who want to stay informed about scheduled opportunities to view the company's work in person.
For those exploring options, Indigo River Tiny Homes provides an online planning tool intended to help prospective buyers estimate a budget and learn more about available tiny home configurations before requesting an appointment with a tiny home specialist.
