This looks like a really nice place to live and to encounter kindred spirits. Beautiful!
I love this whole concept. The homes are beautiful, but I’d be reluctant to build this type of home in Florida, due to Hurricanes.
Well, for what it’s worth, Escape homes are factory built and the village is in Florida, and there has been units used as AirBNB’s in Florida for many years. Having survived Irma and other noteworthy storms without issue… Like mobile homes, you can just tie them down to anchor them against severe storms, and these at least are going to meet Florida code for windows, etc.
Though, if you want a tank of a home, that’s what Movable Roots is known for and they’re a Florida based builder. While Cornerstone Tiny Homes is another Florida based builder who does both THOWs and pre-Fab tiny homes that will be placed on a foundation, which is becoming a more widely available option in Florida these days and the foundation units will be single level homes with bedrooms, etc.
So there are options you’d could be worrying more about floods than the storm…
