We bought this 2001 Bluebird school bus from a school in Beaverton Oregon who was retiring the bus in 2018 and had Wind River Tiny Homes custom build it for us. We have lived in this one of a kind schoolie that turns heads (in a good way) everywhere we go full time for the past 4 years.  We lived in it part time before that for 1.5 years (we lived overseas). We have loved it but with 2 kids now 5 and 3 years old plus another on the way, we needed more space so we just moved into a house. We are sad to let it go but know it will sit for 50 weeks a year and want someone else to enjoy it and make memories in it!

Price: $122,900 OBO. We will be dropping the price every 1-2 weeks and will take the first signed offer with a 5% deposit.
