The realty listed this as "new construction." The owner decided to build a cabin out of a Home Depot shed in 2023, on 5.9 acres of land in Ely, MN, but never finished it. 1bd, 0ba, 486sqft, $165k.

Okay, let's see what's going on, here. He added a screened porch and a new addition.

There's a small deck with a built-in bench. Is that supposed to be the bathroom or a chicken coop?

Looks like he started to insulate the walls. Maybe that's a bath behind the white door. I see the steps to the loft back there.

I don't know what this is. Maybe it's a bedroom.

According to the listing, b/c it's partially finished, it's currently used as a seasonal home.

There's also another shed.

I like the graphic on the side.

It has nice windows, but it must be for storage.

I wonder if the road goes thru the whole 5.9 acres.

An old dipping shed, where they used to dip the sheep, is now a beautiful home to a family of 5 and their 15 (and counting) pets. 

There’s no way it could’ve looked anything like this when it was filled with sheep.

Gorgeous kitchen has 2 stoves.

Master bedroom with a huge master bath.

You know, I always thought that my mother’s shed would make a cute little cottage, and look what they did here, to convert their shed into a mini dream home!

Shopping For A Tiny Home Shed

I have started my search for a tiny home. I really love the shed conversions but purchase is not as simple as one might think. This could take some time.

TH Design Spam

So this is the first tiny house design I made where I took the shed that currently holds most of my belongings (for when we build our ‘big house’) and turned it into a live-able structure (it’s actually still just a bare stud shed).

This is a 10′x12′ floorplan with a mini staircase - since I have a great dislike for ladders, especially when it’s time to crawl into bed - up to a standard loft. It includes a 2′x4′ shower stall, flush toilet, entertainment corner, little kitchen, closet to hold boots and coats, and a shelf to hold whatever needs holding, or becoming a folded clothes spot.

Windows are minimal since it would require adding framing and cutting holes in existing walls which would be a pain.

First is a picture inside my current tent when I first put it up.  The little shed is what I'm thinking about for after my six week house sitting gig that starts next week, since my current tent is about dead.  True Story: the average nylon sleeping tent has a six month street life.  That is, six months of exposure to the sun.  For most people it takes YEARS for their tent to see that kind of exposure and wear and tear... this is my second tent, and I'm looking for a better and more long lasting solution...

Financing a shed conversion tiny house...

So I just called the shed dealer today to get a quote on the shed I want, the corner porch lofted barn cabin. 

A 12'x20' is $6,709. If you do the rent to own option the down payment is $778.42, which is three monthly payments (and you don't have to make any other payments for the first three months). The monthly payments are $259.49 for 60 months. I was thinking that wasn't so bad until the lady informed me that $100 of that monthly payment was simply a rental fee. 

After paying everything for 60 months the shed will end up costing $16,347. That's almost my budget for the entire project. If I were in a position that I just could not feasibly save up the entire purchase price in a reasonable amount of time it's at least nice to know that the rent to own option is there, but luckily I'm not in that position. I refuse to pay an extra ten grand for that shed. That's a lot of wasted cash right there. That's my entire budget for finishing out the interior of the shed to actually turn it into a home. 

I've got $1,000 saved up so far, so just $6,000 more to go (I'm aiming for the 12'x24' which is $7,246). 

How are you guys planning on paying for your tiny house? Will you be financing anything (if so how are you financing it?) or will you pay for it all up front?
