HANCOCK, MI (AP)--   A tiny house built by teenagers in the Upper Peninsula is up for sale.

Bids start at $29,000. 

The house was built by students in a technical program offered by the Copper Country Intermediate School District in Hancock. The house stands on an 8-foot-by-20-foot trailer.

So-called tiny houses have been embraced by people seeking a minimalist lifestyle. This one has water and sewer hookup, a carpeted loft and a queen bed.

Gavin Simonson will be a senior at Hancock Central High School. He worked on it for two hours a day between September and March.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
