The 30×62 Two-Story Gable Cabin with 2-sided 10′ wraparound porches represents a great example of how age-old skills can be combined with modern-day functionality. Made with quality materials and a clever design, this cabin offers a cozy, inviting atmosphere that is at once both timeless and suitable for regular or seasonal use.
Listed at about $106, 995 plus the cost of transport (which besides labor and materials includes, e.g., fuel, packaging, loading, unloading, etc.), its exterior boasts a traditional gable roofline that not only results in a neat and harmonious outline but also allows for maximum use of the space on the upper floor.
The wide 2-sided 10′ wraparound porches provide large outdoor areas which could be utilized in many ways, e.g., for relaxing, socializing, or just enjoying the view. The building, through and through, reflects genuine Amish workmanship, not only in the woodwork and joinery but also in keeping a high level of material quality which will ensure the property will last a long time while still looking very nice. The dimensions are right to let the cabin be comfortable on farm land, in the woods, by the lake, or in the mountains without losing its distinct character.
Provided that the owners are willing to do the interior finishing themselves, this gives them a lot of freedom as to how they want to arrange the different areas, put in the right type and quality of flooring, wall finishes, cabinet areas and lighting fixtures, etc., without being limited by an already done interior that might not be exactly to their liking. The floor plan is generally free for the main area, while upstairs is roomy enough for additional living or storage areas. Since it is unfinished, all the imperfections and elements that make this feel like a home will come from the owners’ efforts, thus saving time and work while allowing creative freedom.
Among its several positive attributes, the cabin’s ability to be adapted for different seasons is a highlight. The wraparound porches and openable windows offer a great way to enjoy mild weather in the spring and summer. In autumn, the gable roof makes a nice backdrop for the colorful leaves, turning the cabin into a lovely getaway. And in winter, a finished interior promises cozy warmth even when it’s cold outside. The solid construction guarantees that the cabin will be a reliable companion through all seasons with only minimal upkeep.
Apart from the obvious factors, the design of the cabin is so well-thought-out that it fits beautifully into various different locations. The timeless gable style of the exterior, for example, is equally at home in a forest setting, on a rural plot, at a lake, or on a mountain clearing. The 2-sided wraparound porches not only lend the cabin visual charm and character but also allow for efficient use of outdoor space without the building and site clashing in any way. Many owners purchase this cabin to be able to have a period of time where they can be away from the frustrations of the world and retreat to a cabin, or simply use it as a hunter’s cabin, guest accommodation, or even an office/studio to “get away” and work in peace and quiet.
When considering that the cabin is made from such excellent materials and has the possibility to be personalized to suit individual requirements and tastes, the question of whether one uses it as a second-home/semi-permanent dwelling or as a full-time residence depends solely on how the owner’s preference is for the interior. The size of what is basically a cottage is a great plus for those who do not have much free space yet want their home to be comfortable.
One can definitely make use of every part of the inside if one wants to. Given that one has the foresight to put the pieces together in a sound way, it should not be an issue to have the open space double up as areas for sitting, eating, and sleeping. The porches that wrap around also extend the living area to the open air where one can relax or entertain guests. One can work in the decor and furniture as well as the rest of the outfit of the living spaces to come up with a personal style and one that they feel really at home in. The interior is a blank slate which means that one can figure out very original ways to make them feel at home and vastly larger than what one might have thought possible with their 30×62 cabin.
At a price of about $106, 995, plus that for transportation (including, e.g., labor, materials), this aesthetically pleasing 30×62 Two-Story Gable Cabin will offer the buyer significant value for a well-made cabin that comes with contemporary amenities and a look that never goes out of style. The ones that come standard with the model such as a metal roof and real Amish craftsmanship are excellent features that make the cabin an extremely tempting base from which to build one’s own individual cabin space.
