Live Large in Small Homes - Eco Cottages

You're green. You cleanse. You're on a raw diet. You love String Cheese Incident. You need an Eco-Cottage. Actually, we want one too. Eco Cottages are a collection of pre-fabricated modular homes that are designed for "self-sustaining green living". These units are built by Nationwide Homes who is a large single family and multi-family modular home buyer with manufacturing facilities in the Southeastern United States including Martinsville, VA, Arabi GA, and Siler City, NC.

The homes range from the Daisy model which is 300 sq/ft and starts out at $35,600 to the Osprey which has a base price of $60,900 and is 513 sq/ft. Almost all of their models are just one bedroom homes and only have 1 bathroom. The prices listed on their web site do not include taxes, delivery and installation charges. Their web site says that you can buy directly from the factory and deal with the site work yourself or they can try to help you find an approved builder in your area.

Please note that we did not received compensation for this post from Nationwide Homes. We just like cool little houses. These things are pretty cool! Check out the slideshow on their web site.
