A 288 Sq. Ft. South Georgia Cabin on Skids with a Covered Porch

This South Georgia cabin packs 288 square feet of living space into a 12×24 footprint, with a 6×12 covered porch on the front. Built in 2019, it’s a cabin on skids rather than a trailer — which matters: skids mean it moves by flatbed rather than being towed, and it sits like a small building rather than an RV.

Cedar on the walls and ceilings gives it the cabin feel the exterior promises. You step into an open-concept living room with room for a couch and entertainment centre; a kitchenette holds a microwave, mini fridge, and cypress cabinets. At the back there’s a private bedroom big enough for a queen mattress and a full bathroom with a 54-inch tub/shower. A 20-gallon water heater, a heating and cooling unit, and 50-amp electrical service round it out.

Editor’s note: this cabin was listed at $48,000 (negotiable) in early 2024 and has sold. Current listings are linked below.

Skids vs. a Trailer

Skids move by flatbed, not tow hitch. Budget for a truck and crane rather than a hitch — and expect it to be a one-time move.
It sits like a building, not an RV. That changes how it is treated for permitting in many counties, which can work for or against you — check locally first.
A 6×12 covered porch is a third of the interior again. In South Georgia that shaded outdoor room is usable most of the year.
An unfinished kitchen is a bargaining chip. A kitchenette with just a sink and microwave leaves room to add a cooktop and fridge cheaply — and to negotiate.
50-amp service is the spec to check. It determines whether you can run air conditioning and a full kitchen at once.
