It is a big production and is about $50k minimum for a single trailer, short move. Paige and Mark Schnell recently moved a cottage to Pine Street in Grayton Beach and are renovating it. It doesn't happen very often and is a labor of love and love of old homes.
Many of the old cottages in Grayton Beach were moved there from Point Washington. They were originally workers' homes at the sawmill that operated in Point Washington a hundred years ago.
My favorite cottage story is the "Smith House" that used to be across from the Red Bar and was moved up the street after a hurricane washed it off its foundation in 95. Tuffy Smith of DeFuniak Springs built it from cypress lumber that washed up on the beach from a barge that caught fire in the Gulf.
We used to stay in it at its old location before it had air conditioning!
