Small cabin get-a-way for your consideration

Your get-a-way

Need a place to ...

Hide out from the world

Relax

Fish & Hunt

Take the kids

I am posting this for those of you who are interested in small cabins. I will share this [tiny?] 22x28 get-a-way cabin with you. We finished it about two years ago in Virginia. The owner built it on his property as a Man Cave, a short walk from their home. I would be glad to share my photos of it with you.

I worked up an estimate for a cabin like this for a client a short time ago. This cabin has a great room on the right . Bedroom and bathroom on the left . Large screened in back porch . Full basement.

The material package "estimate" for this small 22 x 28 cabin is .... $34,000. Add in a shipping estimate, sales tax and dry-in construction and this figure comes to around $53,000.

To receive a PDF copy of this material package, send an email to Jack@LogHomesByJack.com.

Pricing for this cabin is slightly different from the version shown in the accompanying photos.

The photos shown …

- has a dormer over the front door [not provided in this estimate],

- a heavy timber exposed beam roof system [more economical trusses used in this estimate],

- a 12' back screened in porch [a smaller deck is used in this estimate], and

- a finished basement [not in this estimate]. The dry-in labor costs are estimated.

This will give you some Food for Thought for your little "get-a-way" when the time is right. It should be noted that this could appreciate in value ... under normal economic conditions.

Basic model described above. 

Material package is $34,000. Package plus shipping, sales tax and dry-in construction is around $52,000. Finishing materials and labor not included. Estimated total cost is under $100,000 for a memorable and solid get-a-way.

More Luxurious Heavy timber options shown in the photos

Material package is $44,000. Package plus shipping, sales tax and dry-in construction is around $70,000. Finishing materials and labor not included. Estimated total cost is around $100,000 depending on your finishing tastes for an unforgetable and solid get-a-way.

Let me know what you think. Thanks ... jack
