Tiny Homes & Cabins in Austin, TX

Built to order, for sale, or rented to you — Austin, Travis County.

A backyard cabin makes more sense in Austin than almost anywhere else in the metro, for one unglamorous reason: the land is already expensive and already yours. Adding a dwelling to a lot you own is cheaper than buying a second lot with a house on it, and Austin has spent recent years making that easier rather than harder.

People here use them for a parent who should not be an hour away, for an adult child who cannot afford Austin rent yet, and as rental income on ground that is already paid for.

Tiny Homes & Cabins in Austin

Access is the Austin-specific problem. Central Austin lots are deep and narrow, and the gap down the side of the house decides whether a finished cabin can be brought in whole or has to be built in place. We work that out before anything is agreed, because it is the difference between a delivery and a construction site.

Questions about tiny homes & cabins in Austin

Can I put one in my back garden in Austin?

Often yes, and Austin has made it easier than it used to be. What it depends on is your lot and your own deed restrictions — tell us the address and we will tell you what we have run into nearby.

Will it fit down the side of my house?

That is the first thing we measure on a central Austin lot. If it will not, we build it in place instead — it costs differently, and you should know which one you are buying.

Can I rent it out?

Plenty of people do, and it is a common reason to build one here. What you are allowed to do with it depends on the rules for your lot, so check that before you count the income.
