When our kids were kids we had a place on a site called "The Warren" at Abersoch.

They aren't log cabins, but they are definitely caravans, they even have wheels.

Ours had 3 beds, two baths and a conservatory. No doubt it could have been clad in wood if it wasn't on a site.

Have a look at that site at what's possible.

How about a converted shipping container?

Shipping containers are also interesting but do take a fair amount of work to convert and are quite narrow?

In simple terms you can join multiple containers togehter.
Up down and sideways.


Correctly done they can be moved around to discombobulate the planners.

I have an option on a freehold site permitting permanent living in a mobile (!)log caravan. Its by a lake with decent fishing with max of 10 other cabins, most in situ already. There are no annual service charges, etc either. ie. residents form their own management company to sort out grass cutting etc.

Also, whats a price for a decent 2 bed cabin? Who gets the nod for building the best kits?

It's tempting to go for it but I am concerned on its potential re-sale. As its a mobile structure, mortgages will be zero for any potential buyer. However, does that put people off?

Your views are sought!

Have a look at this company, we had one built in 2013 and absolutely love it. Nobody who visits can believe it's technically a mobile home.

PM me if you want more details about our build process, costs and planning etc..

The way to think of log cabins is to treat them like owning a car. They will lose you money, but just go out and enjoy them.

I've seen those being advertised on ebay, already converted.
