Quote from: superduder on September 09, 2023, 04:56:33 PMI recently bought another property,
a little over a half acre of unincorporated/non zoned land (.66AC) for a secondary/possible income property.
I (using good old 3D home architect) laid out one .22 acre lot and did plans for one 10X20... Bungalow (?) cabin.
Just to see what kind of space I'm really dealing with,
Well Suffice it to say IF I wanted to do the traditional "Rack'em and Stack'em"
a.k.a. "Prison Cell but with more privacy" style of housing,
Not that I have that many people in my group (I don't even know 42 adults personally),
but it's nice to have room for company. Right...?
I could make do with housing on one lot and  farming/animal husbandry on the second and third lots.

Each cabin would have it's own bathroom (standard toilet and 36"x36" shower),
kitchen (with RV 110/12v/propane fridge and propane RV cooktop), and small 8X16 storage cellar.
Two bunks and a "jack knife" fold out sofa for bedding
Each can (hypothetically of course) house 3 adults, there's no utilities at the location though
so water tanks, or a VERY deep well and gas/propane or diesel generator
and/or wind & solar aso would be a necessity it would be cozy, borderline crowded, but again Could be done. 
What would the cost breakdown be in this?
The individual sheds/cabins in that post could be bought assembled, and delivered for (checked today)
$5000 Each.
That's unfinished, and I saw today there were within "driving distance" of the property (150mi)
several pop up "tent" trailers Or truck campers with all appliances, lighting, and water systems in tact
and working but bad canvas, body tub, Floor or bad roof for $FREE-$500 ea.
I'd go $6K-$8K each to be move in ready.. This is also No electrical power generation system,
or water tanks other than holding tanks from the trailers/campers,
And doing all the interior labor/installation yourself of course.
The IBC totes route for the water would run $300-$500 installed, and the solar... (don't shoot please)
HF 100W kit, with controller and wiring (beginner level kit but they do work)
and a single 100AH Walmart deep cycle battery (regular lead/acid is fine)
will run a laptop, 12v accessories/lighting from a camper well enough.

So...
$5000 base Shed (more $$$ = More finished shed)
$500 Camper
$400 IBC food grade tote water system
$500 solar/batt/inverter
-------------------------
@ $6000-$7500 each livable Estimated/YMMV of course,

I haven't checked if a shed/barn dealer would be inclined to give a discount for multiple buildings yet.
I really should, because IF I decided to go with the cabins idea, getting even 10% off each would mean a pretty good discount.

I had one that looked exactly like that and it came with the option of one or two lofts, as well. 
Feed science, not zombies!

Failure is the path of least persistence.
