What would be an average cost to build a two bedroom cabin with a loft? average size maybe? What is the annual upkeep on something like that? This would be in eastern Ohio.
I think it would be hard to get a reasonably accurate cost given todays supply chain issues. Unless you plan to build it yourself, labor cost may be an issue as well.
You would need to provide some more details like do you want electric, water, plumbing. Or do you just want a glorified shed structure. I think $80 a sq ft would be reasonable to have someone build a more modern structure, plus land and utilities which could in themselves run in the tens of thousands. A good size Amish built shack on the other hand, delivered with a wood stove can probably be had for under 30,000What would be an average cost to build a two bedroom cabin with a loft? average size maybe?

How rustic are we talking? Do you want a septic system, electric, AC, furnace, sheetrock, foundation, shower, carpet, trim? You could easily spend $150 a square foot on a fairly simple cabin if you want a few of the comforts of home.What would be an average cost to build a two bedroom cabin with a loft? average size maybe?

I have the land. Would prprobably want something on the smaller side but with septic and probably electric. Would need a well but water table is shallow. Possible half basement (hill side build)
There is a reason the plumbers come first when your building a house - everyone else can make shit run up hill.I'd start with sceptic and see where it perks. That my drive building location which would drive design.

Portable shed was all I could afford. I wasn't willing to take on any new debt to get into a shack. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still do this same idea. Had this for four years now. Mine is split in half. One end is cabin, one end is attached garage. Gotta be savvy with what I store. That means nobody gets to leave sh*t there for their convenience. It's worked well.I went the little shed house route. No extra taxes and cost wasn’t too bad. I am thinking about buying a metal 24x24 garage to replace my old lean barn. I could just buy an old farm house in my area with all the required infrastructure for 100 to 150k and probably get some additional acreage with it, and not deal with trying to find rural contractors that I hate to say it aren’t reliable.
