Finding Financial Freedom by Downsizing to a Small House

[@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics]

I love this home. It has space. It does not look like a tiny home, I could see myself in something like this.

[@KimberlieOtt]

You are so blessed to live in Trout Lake! It is one of my favorite places in the Gorge! Nice job on your new beautiful cabin , it is stunning and you should be very proud! Welcome to the area, from a neighbor in the Gorge.

[@Fishhat23]

Absolutely beautiful. Every inch of it. This is very much dream house material. Very well done!

[@hereabouthome]

Love being part of your home journey, Luke and Lianna! You've built The 3/4 Cabin home plan more beautifully than I could imagine. Cheers to all of the wonderful family memories you'll experience there together. 💚

[@summitviewcabin]

Thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you!

[@smallhouseinthemeadow6131]

What a gorgeous family , cabin and kitty. I love the minimalist aesthetic and how simply this family lives. I love that they have future-proofed their lives, because they can build another slightly larger cabin when their child gets older, and AirbnB this cabin and the guests will basically pay for their new build. Who wouldn't want to stay there, with that incredible view? My husband bought 11 acres and each have our own little cabin and it is a wonderful lifestyle. Much happiness to this lovely young family.

[@summitviewcabin]

Thank you! You are exactly right. This isn't a long term living situation for us, but it is special and we hope to keep it to pass down to our children.

[@FilipWinter]

This is the future and makes life on Earth sustainable and with financial freedom how it should be 🤲

Beautiful house and gorgeous views! Having a cabin like this in Washington has always been my dream.

[@user-hv9bj7jz9g]

We bought land in Hoodriver OR just a few minutes away, our 1.5acre lot was 280k so this is reasonable. If I was this couple, I would build a regular size home on the same lot and rent this one out.

[@GaryMiller-z6t]

that is as much as my house, and my house payments are almost too much. How does one afford 280k for just land and then have to build a house on it? I make 100k a year and I wouldn't be able to do that.

[@SeatoSky1111]

@@GaryMiller-z6t There are two of them working professionally. So it's simply not for you apparently.

[@summitviewcabin]

280K for Hood River seems like an amazing deal!

[@katherinekelly5380]

Really beautiful and functional design - is it a one bedroom? I wasn’t sure where baby is going to sleep when she out grows the bassinet They did mention the oversized septic system so perhaps the plan is to add an addition to accommodate their growing family I bet grandma and the groom’s extended family are thrilled this couple has moved closer to them especially now there is a little one

[@summitviewcabin]

Thank you! Yes one bedroom with a sleeper loft. You're exactly right, this isn't a long-term living situation for us, however, we hope to keep it forever!

[@katherinekelly5380]

@ I can see how it can transform as your family grows up 😃👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rebecca_stumpf]

I’m over in western Montana, and currently in the market for land to build a primary home. It has felt unattainable because land here is $250k minimum (!) for very basic uninteresting property, and then I was thinking at least 450k for building a simple 1,000 sq foot home with today’s costs. And it just seems so impossible! But it was Inspiring to see what you could build for $350k, minus the land. You really got a good deal for that area!! Thanks for sharing your story! I’ve been following Here/About for awhile and love her plans!

[@summitviewcabin]

Thank you! I went to school to Missoula and am a huge fan of MT. Good luck on your journey!

[@rebecca_stumpf]

Aww me too! Grad school at UM! :) Love Missoula. :)

[@ShawnCarlson-c7b]

This is absolutely stunning!!

[@summitviewcabin]

Thank you!

[@donnaquillen3375]

Wow! 200,000 would buy a lot more land in other states. Tiny houses go for less than $100k around here. Good for them! Living the dream at a young age. ❤️

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Beautiful little house and layout! Thank-you for informing us about your costs it's good to know what people pay in other areas! The "I!" stands alone without any help from the"S!" Cheers from Canada😊

[@dawnsmith4275]

Very beautiful! It sounds like a lot of money, but living outside of NYC and knowing what real estate costs in your area - I believe you got a great deal. How wonderful that you were able to pay off the property right away! Wishing you happiness, health, and peace in your gorgeous little home. (Your precious baby reminds me of my daughter at that age - same 'hairstyle' 🥰🥰🥰 Enjoy her). Ignore the rude comments; some people are just mean and jealous.

They prove that to have good living, you don't need all unnecessary stuff!

We have lived in half of this space for years. Downsizing can really cut down on utilities, and keeps you from buying too much junk to fill rooms you seldom visit.

Hi guys, super curious how much yo paid for the designs? So inspired to build something this size! Thanks in advance

[@liannapav253]

Hi there! If I recall, we paid $2000. Plan is called 3/4 cabin by hearabout :)

[@Dave-bf2lc]

Beautiful home and beautiful family 🤍. Work-from-home in the mountains is the way to go!

[@summitviewcabin]

Thanks!

[@Campos2011]

Our 🏡 2floors +basement +attic dormer is too big at 2640sq ft for two people. We’d like to downsize, it’s just too cheap to let go considering the $117k purchase price in 2015. The simplicity of a small home would be great, we clean so much😑

[@DeeDee-fi4kq]

Finding Financial Freedom by paying $200,000 for an undeveloped 2 acre lot + an additional $350,000 for a minimalist small house build. I guess the downsize was parting with over half million in finances in order to obtain the financial freedom that comes with owning a small house on a heavily property taxed 2 acre lot.

[@AbyNYC]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Very interesting the way you phrase your statemate. Bravo. ✌✌✌

[@user-hv9bj7jz9g]

I think 200k is pretty decent for a lot in WA. Actually more affordable than other lots. They can most likely build a regular size home on the same lot and rent out the current cabin.

[@l.mckenna1034]

Perspective dude, it may be for them although too steep for you.

[@lizabetx483]

I understand 200K for the land. But how could that small house cost $350K. I just don't get it. This cabin is great for a couple but babies grow up and need their own bedroom(s).

[@slackerman9758]

Is this house framed in mahogany? 350k is a lot.

Beautiful, but where's the baby's room? As the baby grows she will need her own space.

She will have the whole outdoors. She might want a treehouse or have a mini yurt or something but she can decides when she gets to that point.

[@Kristoph-69-69]

Space can be converted

What is the name of the company that made the cabin ?

How do you protect this from wildfires, especially with the massive fires in that part of the region. I want to do this but I’m hesitant. Unless there is a way to fire proof your home this is a nice setup.

[@mtnboy123]

They have a steel roof and defensible space around the cabin. Might also be a good idea to have a good irrigation system.

Yes this is a concern in our region. We can try our best to limit risk, but anything is possible

You’re going to absolutely love relying on a ladder to access and leave your bedroom.should be real sweet using the bathroom in the middle of the night. Heating all that cubic sq ft of empty space is genius. Simple minimalist is NOT 2 stories - it is single floor. You’ll be moving in about 2 years - that’s a weekend Airbnb design. Not sustainable.
