Just a quick note… I was looking for another article on the Mother Earch News website and came across this article called Build this Cozy Cabin. It’s basically a free cabin plan. The cabin is a 14′ by 20′ shell with a loft that can be built for about $4000. The article takes you through building the cabin step by step, provides a materials list, and at the end has a list of small house kits for those who don’t want to tackle building a house from a set of plans. Take a look for yourself.

Hi Pauline ,My name is Brad Carlisle and I’m a contractor in north central New Mexico and we build small homes and off grid homes in the mountains . You can call me @505 259 3768
Hi, we have an 8′ by 16′ for sale on a trailer, steel studs, shower, commode, sink in bathroom, sink, shelves, micowave, loft for queen mattress, two seats that open to store things, shelves around the top, hot water heater, refriderator, can send you pictures. We have invested $13,000 in this trailer and our work, we want $35,000 delivered to you. The guy in California wants $56,000 for his. It is a beautiful little home. Let me know. Mary Ann
Do you have it listed somewhere? Do you have photos online?
The article says 14×20. The title says 16×20.
Good link. Thanks!
I would like a few estimates for a tiny cabin built south of Hartsel, CO on a tight budget as long as it meets county codes.
