Crafting Tranquility: The Art and Economics Behind Our Big Bear Cabins
From concept to completion, our Big Bear Cabins were a 9 month labor of love. Let us take you on a Behind the Scenes Look at what it took to bring these cabins to life:
Acquiring the Land: Securing the perfect plot is foundational. Expect to invest between $10,000 to $20,000 per acre, with the price reflecting the desirability of the area. Additionally, factors like fencing, gates, and community amenities should be factored in, totaling approximately $200,000.
