    This makes so much more sense than the ‘Tiny Dreams on Wheels’ shell that was 30k (one or two days ago). The electrical is all roughed in here so you don’t have to rip out stuff to put stuff in. The plumbing is also roughed in, same benefit. You could go to a ‘Habitat for Humanity’ store and get the rest of the electrical and plumbing for a fraction of what it costs new.

    In these price ranges you should get something that doesn’t need to be torn apart right away.

    35K is too expensive for a shell; this is the price of a fully finished (with w/d, fridge,) as part of the package. Everyone knows that the expense in a house is in the interior finishings. This shell is an example of builders charging for a finished product while not providing the whole product. There are better deals elsewhere. Try Brevard Tiny House; they work with the buyer and produce finished interiors with your purchase for the same price.

    This house is really beautiful, and the price includes everything needed to completely finish it, so you are paying for a complete house, you just get to put everything where you want it, rather than having the floor plan decided for you. I like that idea, and I think the price is pretty reasonable for what you get. It is a really nice house. Can we see some inside shots? Thanks!

      Hi Marsha — I’m afraid I don’t have any 🙁 But maybe the builder has some? I think it’s a good deal, especially with all the finishings added! — Tiny House Talk Team

    Way too much for a ” shell”. Maybe the seller nerds to detach emotion from sale. Besides all the ” rough in” electtical and plumbing issues.. “formaldehyde ” insulation doesnt sound too good. For only 248 sq ft…. no. Can buy one of same size that is already finished. Sorry, as I have never posted negative… this one is absurd. J
