SoCal Cottages advertise their buildings as options for a home office, a guest room, or an artist studio. Their cottage designs range in size from 120 to 600 square feet and they offer several finishes for the exterior and roof. All the cottage sizes are affordable and can be installed quickly.
Many of the smaller units feature open floor plans and can be customized for your needs. Bathroom space is included.
It is easy to buy SoCal Cottages direct from their website. They offer free delivery throughout California but will deliver their homes anywhere in the US with costs based on location. They do offer installation but describe their prefab construction as easy to put together with the directions provided.
If you’re looking for a tiny home opportunity in conjunction with a traditional house or as a back yard rental with a willing homeowner, SoCal Cottages could be a great opportunity. The homes are designed for complete plumbing and electrical systems to be installed. Their structures are built to code and easy to assemble on a freestanding floor system. Because of these features, owning one will be pretty straight forward compared to some of the challenges faced by tiny homeowners.
By now you’re asking “What is the cost of one of these prefab cottages?” All of the sizes are affordable and even the additional options won’t break the bank. The base cost of the smallest model is $7,450 and the largest structure costs $19,450. The extra features include items such as a country porch which will cost an additional $800 or a vaulted ceiling which rings in at $550. For example, the 10X15 cottage with all the features will cost a total of $15,400. Many DIY tiny house builders have completed their homes around the $20,000 budget and some fully built tiny homes will cost up to $50,000 or even $60,000. In the right situation, a SoCal Cottage may be a great and affordable option to a tiny house.
