    That’s a lot more reasonable than I expected.

    I'm thinking of ways to build a small cabin on our land up north. We have electricity, so it is that already set, but no well or septic. Just need it to be able to stay warm in winter for deer hunting and snowmobiling. A small wood stove and some sort of propane or electric back up heat. Tiny kitchen and great insulation. Put a window AC unit in it for summer. Thinking it would probably be better to have this elevated off the ground vs on a slab or on the ground.

    Just a hand pump well would do, as well as either an outhouse or maybe an incinerating toilet.
