Alice sent me this listing of a quaint little log cabin on an island in British Columbia, Canada. Built in 1986 this 241 square foot cabin with loft on a small piece of property and a very good price of $89,000 Canadian dollars is a dream cabin which I wouldn’t mind if I could make it my own.
If your dream is to live on an island do some research on Galiano Island in British Columbia. Below is the listing and a few more pictures.
RUSTIC LOG CABIN WITH LOFT ON GALIANO ISLAND serviced with power and phone. The property is a small lot (plus or minus 0.1 acres). Located adjacent to Bluff Park. Court Ordered Sale (foreclosure).

Mike and Christy Irish sent me these pictures of their recent project the “Wee Irish Cottage.” Here is what Mike has to say about the cottage.
The cottage is 18’x8′, built on a tandem axel trailer. It has a sleeping loft, undercounter fridge, small bathroom with shower and composting toilet. Shower is rudimentary; toilet is brand new.
The interior is finished in pine with bamboo flooring, therompane windows. The floor, walls and ceiling are well insulated. 4’x4′ opening Velux skylight makes for light filled interior. High ceiling (with ceiling fan) gives the cozy cottage a spacious feeling.
***Sold*** Lorna emailed me yesterday to tell me that the cottage is still available and that she would like to find someone soon to make this little cottage their home. She has also just reduced the price to $15,999. You can view the cottage at 8283 Valley View Drive in … Read more
Jared alerted me to this unique find on Ebay at 5:00 A.M. this morning. Tiny houses and floating homes are a passion of mine and this one a real find.
If you are in the Portland, Oregon area I would run down and check this out right away as I am sure it will go fast. I am in the process of duplicating the Ebay ad as I know it will go away in a few days and I want this available for all to see for a long time. At a Buy Now price of $28,900 it can be yours today.
I am also trying to get in touch with the owner to see if plans are available for those who might want to build one themselves. This is a long post so hit the more link below. Here are the details:
You are bidding on a 28-foot long, steel-hulled, river barge boat. If you are considering a small houseboat or floating home for a retreat on the water, this might be a perfect alternative. It could be the perfect bachelor’s pad, artist’s or writer’s studio, weekend or vacation spot, or whatever you would like it to be! It could be a great liveaboard situation for a single person, who is also handy in finishing up some undone work.
This is NOT a fixer. Just not quite finished yet. Pride of ownership shows!
Unofficially named the “Gypsy Ark”, but the name is nowhere printed on the hull or siding, so you could rename it easily. (It is only painted on one horseshoe lifering)
