Im looking far into the future to do something like this and get into the regulation details then unless I can get investment in this land yacht idea... or even better, a cooperative land sharing setup.. almost like an RV park.

Living in trailers and such isn't a terribly viable option, because they're not designed for year round living and require adaptation. A carriage house is the closest legal possibility to your description, but more expensive than a mobile home since it requires footings and a foundation. Community design plans aren't an issue in rural areas.

That said, I don't think you'll find a lot for $50k. In Mission the majority of lots cost between $100-175k.

Electricity and water are a must... even internet hookup unless satellite ones arent too expensive.

So no garages only in a residential... that leaves getting these carriage house only. It would be good to set it up and rent it out and also live in the RV setup.

That house I first posted is easily CNC cut with ply-wood (super cheap yet strong) and put together like a 3D puzzle... its also structurally tested. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6...tljo1_1280.jpg

These prefabs are a pretty nice and clean design.


So does this!
