Katrina Cottage in Forest Lake

[ASH]

May not matter whether or not they can be in Forest Lake, it is already coming out of the ground. They must have a permit to be building there.

I've seen the greensteel house (St. Theresa model) at Evening Rose in Tallahassee. It would be a nice quick-and-dirty guest cottage or rental. It was not exactly clear what was included in the "100/sq ft" price mentioned (porches, stairs, landings?). That home is just over 1000 sq ft and is listed for sale by k2urbancorp for $249,900. http://www.frogrealty.net/listingvi...C&sortby=price&listingID=180&pid=7&section=k2

From a design standpoint, the lack of storage was a problem. That partcular model home was brought down from somewhere up north. I don't know if they have actually been able to manufacture any in Carabelle. I believe that lenders will treat this as a trailer for loan purposes, but could be wrong.

Can you put the St. Theresa model greensteel house in Forest Lakes? I have a friend who owns a lot there and this could change everything.

For $325 that cottage could be yours. Will it sell anytime soon?

Yeah.

This can't be 1200 sq. ft., can it?

I think Katrina cottages are more in the realm of 800-900 SF. I have been in one. Small and cozy.

I keep wondering about how this will affect restrictive covenants and DRB guidelines. I understand the Developer is involved in this unit. Maybe they'll post how this project sets precedent regarding original Architect's, etc.

The one shown is about 400sf. They come in different sizes: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pg&p=2006_landing/Katrina_Cottage/floor-plans.html

No one's posted the math on how that could be cash flow positive. :funn:
