Inexpensive retreat type structure to build on currently unimproved land?
I have about 14 acres of land with nothing on it, there's only about 1/2 an acre that is cleared and flat, the rest is mountainside and would take some grading to get flat. I want to have a simple retreat to use for myself on weekends as a "getaway" or to rent to people for similar purposes (i.e. nothing too fancy, this land is out in the sticks of western NC mountains) but I don't have the money right now to build anything- estimates for even a small cabin are around $65,000 and my budget is more like under $15,000 right now. Does anyone have any good ideas for something simple I can put on it or a way to get something built more cheaply than a company would do? I don't want to put anything on it that would decrease the land value. Thnx for any ideas!
Two things that come to mind for me are a geodesic dome shelter or a yurt (see URL's below). A 24' dia. yurt is only about $7500 US., a 26' dome shell kit is slightly more. Smaller versions are also available.
