Built in 2011. Built the same as a regular home, not like a tiny house on wheels. 432sq/ft with 144sq/ft porch. Mostly open concept with bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Everything electric. Never gone over $200/mth even in the winter and usually around $100/mth in the summer with the AC on a lot.
Well insulated with R40 roof, R24 walls, R40 floor. Heat tape on main water line.
The kitchen could use remodeling as it is just the basics that was suitable for a single guy who doesn't cook. There is no stove but one could be put in. Between a microwave, a hot plate, a Insta-pot and a convection toaster oven you can cook most food items. Lots of appliances can go with the sale.
The bedroom can be curtained off from the living room. I never put a wall there because then a simple 5000W AC unit can cool the entire house. Heating is provided by five natural convection (no moving parts) heaters with individual programmable thermostats (although I just set them all to 21C during the winter and don't touch them).
.67 acre of land, 4-person septic, electric well pump. 80' driveway just paved two years ago.
What this place is is a cheap place to live for a single person or a loving couple. Only $529/year for taxes currently.
The house can come turnkey with all furnishings and electronics included. I replaced most furnishings within the last three or four years. There is a newer mini-barn out back (purchased in 2021). There can be a lot of extras going with the house. I also have a backup heating source (indoor propane heater) and a backup electrical provider (car inverter) that can go with the sale.
The mini-barn has a three year old snowblower, an air compressor, a gas-powered weed whacker, air tools, misc tools, car detailing supplies, etc, etc. Just stuff I collected over the years.
I had a realtor out who did a market value assessment at $180,000 and I have taken $20K off to start. He compared the price of land in the area, prices of cottages in the area and the relative newness of the house.
