Like this plan! I don’t know what my future holds, but I know I want rural property eventually even if it is only recreational property at first. If that is how my life story plays out, I love the idea of a concealed home. In California, as may be the case in other places, there is quite a problem with the meth epidemic in rural areas, people’s seasonal property sometimes get turned into labs if left alone unguarded. A hidden home like this has an advantage, as done the yurt roundhouse.
Also __love__ the inclusion of the tub. I don’t care if I’m in a 400 or less sq ft home, the tub has to be there, it’s worth every sq foot. Life is too short to give up bubble baths!
