Vanstead Land

This week I've read about several Vandwellers who've recently purchased cheap land for parking (for at least part of the year).

You may have read about Nemo's land purchase here:

Nemo purchased his land through an Ebay auction:

I've been meaning to start a list of sources for buying land for the vanstead:

If you have other sources (especially if you have first hand information), please leave a comment. I'll be adding to this list as I find new sources.

Vanstead Sheds

For those who decide to vanstead on a piece of land, "sheds" can be used for everything from a craft area, chicken coop, expanded indoor kitchen, visiting area, guest quarters...

By keeping your "out buildings" small, you may avoid many building regulations.

Screen houses make great visiting areas.

There are many free building plans online for the do-it-yourselfers:

Tiny House Talk is an excellent read for those thinking of building small.
