A tiny house prototype worth $20,000 has been spotted in Queensland less than 24 hours after it was stolen from a Canberra business over the weekend.

The house's owner, Julie Bray, said the house and its trailer were stolen from her Mitchell business on Sunday night.

This tiny house stolen from Canberra, owned by business owner Julie Bray, was found in Queensland less than a day later.

Someone in the area called police when they heard an angle grinder being used on the trailer's wheel clamp, Ms Bray said.

Police arrived "within minutes", but the house was gone.
