How bad is it that my immediate thought was that it’s reasonable? That’s literally the price of a parking spot where I live.

Why is there a ladder going up to a tiny door on the second floor? Elf house? John McClane entrance?

It’s a little tunnel that lets you be John Malkovich.

That’s where the landlord lives.

Well the upside to that is they can’t possibly be an intimidating presence.

That’s the second room that you can lease out, 50 Sqft for $1200 per month.

I found the listing on Zillow with reverse image searching. It is a lot with two or three cabins from the mid 1930s in a wooded area right next to a 6-lane highway. Photos of the interior look meh especially for the price and the outside certainly needs love.

Anyway, here is the link: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/69947-E-Highway-26-4-Rhododendron-OR-97049/2060515883_zpid/?

That’s not terrible for HOA/condo fees. I used to live somewhere that charged $350/month for condo fees and basically didn’t do anything with it. There wasn’t even a dumpster for residents to use, so most people’s houses ended up filled with trash.

That fee looks like it’s mainly covering water/sewage which isn’t the worst for a shared septic system.

Ah, Oregon. I saw a listing to rent a ‘studio apartment’ with no bath or kitchen so it was literally just a bedroom for $1200 a month a couple years ago. Not even in Portland, Springfield, or Salem, but a town with a population of 10k.

Good find!

The worst part of this is the HOA. Although I have to assume they are pretty hands-off if the cabin is in this state. Having someone look over your shoulder while you fix up your shack sounds terrible.

Knowing the HOA they just need the property to sell so they can start harassing the new owners to fix it.

A lot of older properties get grandfathered out of HOA requirements

I like Baba Yaga’s style. If I could have a house on chicken legs, I’d have a house on chicken legs

But it doesn’t meet modern universal design rules

I actually misread this meme as “Hey hosing market, where are you going”. Oh well, the house on chicken legs is still quite rad though.

But. this got me wondering - could you actually legally live in the US federal land in such a house, that moves to a different location every so often? I know some RV guys live like this, but would an actual building that can move itself, be okay, too?
