Rustic cabins

[jsharmon7]

Does anyone know of a website to find rustic cabins for sale? I’m thinking something under $50k that’s just a basic cabin I could sneak off to on the weekends. I’ve tried a few search parameters but I keep getting full-sized cabins.

On page 4 in the classified ads. It's not marked sold.

There are a lot of different setups (for lack of a better word) for a cabin.
What do you like to do in your leisure time, js7 ?
Fishing, hiking, hunting, dirt bikes, building crafts ?
Like the realtors say: "location, location, location".

Wardlaw Realtors, out of Spencer, IN used to sell quite a few parcels of buildable rural land.
(EDIT: I purchased my cabin and 7 ac. from them 11 years ago)

I like hiking, reading, etc. Main purpose would be somewhere to disappear for a weekend.

Ah ok you never know. Suggestions for the Mid South most likely would not be helpful.

Build w everything on the property and you can use the log cabin law to eliminate gov interference

I used to stack homes made by pioneer log homes of British Columbia, they would possibly build you a custom unit to your size and specifications but matching the price point may be a challenge. At the other end of the spectrum could be a heavy canvas guide tent, we used to find them up in the mountains semi permanent.

This. Ive seen a few where they build a 20x20 deck, then put one of these heavy duty tents up on it kinda like a yurt. If you are handy, go this route. You can stay in that while you build your cabin.

Looks simple enough


And this guy built his own log cabin. Logs/timbers were too expensive. So he built a system that uses 3 2x8s glued and screwed offset in a center tongue and groove pattern. So his self-engineered panels stack and interlock. And in the end he still has a stout 6" thick wall.

I follow this guy on YouTube. He has several videos of building different types of cabins, both in Michigan and Alaska. He was on one season of Alone too. Seems like a pretty smart dude. He son just started a channel about building a small cabin in Alaska.

I have a rusty shed outback. I'd be willing to let it go for the right price.

When I Google the topic, a lot of pics of this guy and his cabin shows up. He must be a designer/builder.

Ebiking checking game cameras and starts raining! Take shelter at Ft. Freedom, may have to spend night. Good to have a trappers type cabin in the woods!

The ground is the most important part, I would get that first. Lots of good suggestions above.

I've posted about being up north at the cabin many times. It's just a simple Menards yard barn package, delivered on site. Dress up the inside to fit your needs. Best thing that ever happened to my family.
We have propane lights, heat, and stove. Sank a shallow well and built a shower house. Standup shower, sink and camper water heater. Run the pump on a generator.
