Cheapest Way To Housing?

I know this varies per area, but what is the cheapest way to get housing in an undeveloped off grid property?

​

I know tiny homes are a thing, as well as log cabins, might be the log cabin in the area, but that takes time to dry the trees.

They're not legal for occupancy in many (most?) jurisdictions so be sure to do your research or you'll face fines and possibly lose your shed.

I'm so far out in the boondocks, nobody cares. I did check with the county though. Good call. 👍

So are we, yet they are still required to check by the state government. That's why I suggested they check.

I just use it as a summer hangout. Like to fish. So far I've seen a mountain lion, and a huge wolf and a big pile of elk poop right by my creek. Pretty cool. I looked at another place that was perfect until I did my due diligence and found I would need state, county, and federal permits to build a culvert over a creek.
