10 Ft. Wide Riverbend Cottage: $47,000

1. Not bad! I’m not a huge fan of the roofline, but everything else about it is very nice.

   If I were to build another tiny house, I would definitely go 10′ wide. An oversize load permit really isn’t that big of a deal to get. It really increases the size and usability of the space without increasing the cost much. Using more standard size appliances, cabinets, and furniture, also can bring the cost down, and the build time, since you aren’t building as many custom pieces.

2. A lot of wasted space you can’t afford to lose in a TH. I put the kitchen and bath in just 4′ of one end with the rest, 10’x 12′, open to do as you please.
   It has no sleeping loft which few use though 26′ of storage lofts 2′ wide.

      1. Yes there is a sleeping loft, but otherwise those are fine ways to improve it 🙂 — Tiny House Talk Team

3. Where is the stove???

   1. Not everyone wants a stove/oven. I don’t use my stove/oven in my apartment or dishwasher! I have an induction plate, Instant Pot, rice cooker, Vitamix, convection toaster oven and microwave – that’s all I need to cook everything. Buying certain “gadgets” can save thousands of dollars and space by doing without an oven/stove. It all depends on whether you live alone or with a family.

      1. Absolutely. I haven’t used the oven or my dishwasher in a few years. We have an excellent toaster oven that does everything we need. I wash dishes by hand. I do use the stove top burners. The appliance occupies a lot of the space in the kitchen and replacing it with a double burner to sit on the counter seems a bit redundant until the entire metal monster requires replacement. They work well and use very little energy in propane.

         1. Good points 🙂 I personally love my oven, but everyone has different needs! — Tiny House Talk Team

4. Price point is excellent. Home has some nice features, especially the head room. The company is not gouging the public–for a change.

   Seems the builders of tiny homes are pumping up the bottom line cost to buyers almost every day. What used to be affordable is becoming less so unless you build it yourself. This is what happens to any brilliant movement as it becomes mainstream. The profiteers take over, eventually. Right now realtors still want little to do with tiny homes. But, before long they will be trampling each other to sell them and charging 6%. Unfortunately, it’s the youth of America that has the target on their back in this unsavory advance.

   Builders like Incredible are holding the line, IMO.

5. 10 ft. wide is great, but only 20 ft. long for $47,000.00 is wrong, no matter how you slice it…! Sorry I just have to tell the truth, I won’t lie, and say something is good when I know it is not….

   1. I actually thought it was a pretty good price tag, considering others that go for soooo much more, but I understand! — Tiny House Talk Team

   2. Agreed, Zachary. 10’wide should allow for so much more than we’ve seen in comparables at only 8 or 8.5’wide. Yet no stove/oven, no laundry, cheap finishes (ie. cheap laminate counter-top, unfinished knotty everywhere, and virtually zero appliances). I also don’t appreciate the builder insisting that the going rate for a 16′ THOW is $70,000-$80,000 – so this one’s a steal at $47,000… what a line of bull! It’s not a bad house, but this guy sounds like he’s moonlighting from his day job at the used car lot. It’d be much more impressive sans video.
      Don’t be a sucker, people.

      1. When it comes to a custom build, I think it’s hard to judge builders for the finishes, because usually the finishes are requested by the owner. For whatever reason, this person didn’t want a stove/oven/laundry, but needed a catwalk. Not my style, but I don’t think that’s the builder’s fault. — Tiny House Talk Team

         1. Fair, perhaps none of those specs were this builder’s decisions, Natalie… but the price should reflect that. I won’t claim there’s anything “wrong” with the house. However, you can’t deny the guy’s assertion about going rates were self-serving, to say the least.

6. Of course 10 ft wife better as long you never ( or rarely?) move it since it IS a wide load….

   1. It looks like the owner has a fairly permanent spot for it 🙂 — Tiny House Talk Team
