While most people tend to build a traditional and large house or just buy one, some cranks dream of small dwellings. But tiny doesn't mean cheap. Prices for miniature houses look quite "adult". And even if such a house is also mobile, that is, it stands on a car platform, then its value can even be "sky-high". For example, a small mobile home can cost more than a hundred thousand dollars.
On wheels from Colorado
This beautiful little house is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. It is quite expensive and costs 111,000 dollars. Why is he so expensive? In order to answer this question, you need to see what the owner will receive for this amount.
The total footage of this mobile building is not so small - 400 square feet, that is 37.16 m². This is quite comparable to a small one-room apartment.
The house is built on a mobile basis of a 3-foot trailer. It has a pair of bedrooms and one bathroom. It also has a full kitchen with a gas stove, oven and a couple of real lofts from which you can get to the roof. The roof is a "deck of the ship" and is designed for relaxation.
But that is not all. The house is decorated with cedar, and the windows in it are energy efficient. Agree, 111 000 dollars - not so much to travel around the country in your own "small palace"?
Miniature Building in North Carolina
This small building, more reminiscent of a summer guest house or gazebo, is located in Flat Rock, in the state of North Carolina. The house costs $ 113,900.
The total area is 400 square feet, that is 37.16 m². Inside there is only 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The building only seems stationary, in fact, this “magnificence in the colonial style” is built on the basis of the trailer, that is, the house can move. But the wheels are hidden by removable shields.
The building has 2 porches or a porch. As for amenities, the house has a dishwasher and washing machine, a microwave, five ceiling “top” fans, an integrated platform with an extra double bed.
This house is located in the park, which has a swimming pool, a clubhouse for residents, a platform for dog training, a large garden.
Agree, living in such a place is a dream for many, in addition, the back porch of the house goes directly into the forest bordering the park.
Simplicity and mobility from Tennessee
The outward simplicity of this mobile home in Chattanooga, Tennessee is deceiving because it is priced at $ 119,000.
The area of the building is 350 square feet, that is, it is 32.52 m². Inside there is only 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The kitchen is completely stationary, and in addition to everything, the house has an attic and a small terrace. But its main advantage is complete autonomy. The building has solar panels and does not need to be connected to power networks.
"Handmade" from Indiana
This small building is estimated at 120,000 dollars. What are the advantages of a house, besides the fact that it was made by carpenters in the old fashioned way?
The building is 325 square feet, or 30.19 m². The house is designed for a family of five. The building has a functional, quite real, kitchen with many cabinets, a washing machine with dryer, a large dressing room, a folding oak dining table. There is also a miniature covered porch.

Typical Timbercraft House
Tiny mobile homes are so popular that many companies in the United States offer their production on standard designs.
Timbercraft construction costs an average of $ 150,000, but the price can be higher if the customer wants “more luxury” or individual design. The largest model of the house is called Denali XL. The mobile base is 41 feet long and is a very long home. Interior decoration and content depend on the wishes of the customer. Typically, a typical project involves the presence of a gas stove and oven, washing machine, quartz countertop. We must not forget about a couple of bedrooms, an attic, a dressing room, a pantry.
Accordingly, the high prices for small houses are due to a combination of mobility with the conveniences of a stationary home. And it really makes sense to pay for it.
