A CANADIAN couple have ditched busy city life to live on a colorful off-the-grid float-home and garden they’ve dubbed “Freedom Cove.”

    Wayne Adams and Catherine King created a completely self-sustainable float home consisting of 12 platforms that houses wooden structures, green houses and living spaces all interconnected through a wooden pathway.

    The magenta and turquoise floating structure, off the coast of Tofino, British Columbia, was built in 1992, and the couple, who have two children, live in the home year round.

    During winter months, the couple collect rainwater for drinking and in the summer they collect drinking water from a nearby freshwater waterfall across the bay, according to Collective Evolution.

    They have several greenhouses in which the family grows fruit and vegetables year round.

    A hen house also used to reside on the structure, but the couple decided to give up on livestock when they realized how many predators had easy access to the hens.

    Electricity is supplied to the home through solar panels and photovoltaic energy generators.

    The artist couple spend their free time making and selling carvings and candles in the town of Tofino, which is about a half-hour boat ride away.
