Title: Looking for help on building a Cabin
Post by: Cookieman on December 21, 2025, 12:01:53 PM
Hi there,

I'm looking for help on a cabin build I'm looking to complete.

I recently bought a 2 acre property and I want to build a cabin on it. A cabin that can be used as a hunting camp and also a place for friends and family to stay when they come to visit.

I'm thinking of making it 16x36, where I want to build has kind of a narrow long envelope surrounded by trees. I also don't want to completely rule out the idea of keeping it as a building lot, and want to make the cabin something that could possibly be moved someday (hence why I wanna make it 16 feet wide)

I thought the best way to do this would be to build on concrete pads/blocks up off the ground. Then it would make it easier to possibly be moved someday if I wanted to build out there.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? Is that a good way to do it?

Also wondering if anybody has any plans of this size or pictures. I want it to be a 2 bedroom (with 2nd bedroom possibly being the loft), big min area and smaller kitchen. I also have old cook stove that I would like to incorporate into it for heat. I also would like it to be rustic with board and batten siding and steel roof.

Thanks again
