Cabins are definitely one of the most enduringly popular housing choices among people looking for ways to combine functionality, aesthetic appeal, and classic style. For instance, this lovely 14×46 Highland Cottage cabin by Salem Structures is a perfect example of fine workmanship combined with a well-thought-out design. At $79, 980 (starting price), it features 644 square feet of very comfortable living area with quite a few upgrades already done so, it is a turn-key option for cabin dwellers who want to start enjoying their lifestyle with almost no additional work.
On the outside, the cabin has a very traditional cottage look with simple lines and a very inviting 6 feet large porch with composite decking. Eaves of 8-inch and gable overhangs offer not only the protection against weather conditions but also visually uplift the overall look of the cabin. Metal roofing combined with double-bubble insulation is not only durable but energy efficient as well. Raised panel shutters and insulated double-hung windows add aesthetics and performance to the cabin. The dimensions of this cottage really stand up to a wide range of locations while still maintaining its own distinctive beauty.
The living room inside is a cozy place where the open concept layout makes the most of the available floor area. The area is bathed in natural light that comes through the windows placed in strategic locations, bringing attention to the ship lap walls that create a warm and inviting environment. This place in the home is set up for a comfortable seating arrangement and is perfect for unwinding or entertaining.
The kitchen fits with the times as far as features and layout are concerned. Cabinets and countertops are of good quality and provide plenty of work surface to prepare food. The design manages to keep kitchen areas open and allow for interaction with the living area. Electrical and plumbing systems are included and ready for the cabin to be put into daily operation after the finishing work is done.
Two bedrooms provide cozy, private spaces for a good night’s rest. Each bedroom receives a good amount of daylight and is large enough for a standard-size bed and other necessary furnishings. One bedroom serves as the master, the other can be a guest bedroom, children’s room or converted into something else. The ship lap walls throughout the cabin make it all seem very warm and inviting.
Both the bathrooms come with fittings that are suitable for modern times, yet simple and effective. Plumbing package consists of, among other items, a 20-gallon water heater and decent quality items used in bathroom fixtures. Both bathrooms are also styled in a way to blend in with the cabin altogether.
The Highland Cottage cabin can easily be put up in different locations as needed. Measuring 14 by 46 feet, this model is a solid size for living on a piece of land in the country, or in a forested area, or by a lake, or even in a backyard of a suburban house. The timeless style of the cottage can fit well with different landscapes and the cabin can be used both on-grid and off-grid (with only small modifications) thanks to the included sets of electrical as well as plumbing. Many people have this type of cabin as their main home, or as a vacation home, or as a guest house.
The cabin’s versatility in terms of seasons is a great selling point, too. Porch is, in fact, the living room turned outside during the hot period of the year when one can dine under the sky and relax. Walls that are insulated plus the insulated floor and ceiling allow for comfort in temperatures when it is cold outside. The workmanship and the materials used stand the test of time and after some proper interior work, the home will work fine in all seasons.
Starting price for this cabin is $79, 980, and that is definitely a great deal for such a well-appointed and easy to turn into a comfy home structure.
