How much does the average small cottage cost?

The cost of an average small cottage is $200.00 to $400.00 for every square foot, as of 2015. This price is due to builders having to add the amenities of a larger home and squeeze them into the cottage.

Although the price per square foot is high, the cost is less than a regular home. People choose to live in a cottage for an easier and cheaper lifestyle. For example, Andrew and Gabriella Morrison now live on five acres in a 207 square-foot cottage in Oregon. It cost them $33,000 to build it, and their communication and relationship are closer than before, according to Forbes.com.
