What if your starter home didn’t come with a predefined location? What if you could truly live where you want—in a home you designed, on land you chose, with freedom that only comes from building on your own terms?
Welcome to The Starter Home by HUTS. By giving you the tools to be your own developer, we’re putting the power back into your hands. No longer confined by fixed locations or “cookie-cutter” communities, you now have the flexibility to choose where you settle. With The Starter Home, you’re free to live closer to nature, near small towns, or even on a plot of land that’s off the beaten path, without compromising on comfort, quality, or affordability.
Choose Your Place, Not Just a House
With the rise of remote work, more people than ever have the freedom to live where they truly want. Gone are the days when people were anchored to large cities solely for work. Today, people are choosing their homes based on lifestyle rather than proximity to the office. Whether it’s the mountains, a quaint town with a vibrant community, or simply a plot of land surrounded by nature, the choice of location is finally yours.
But there’s a problem: the housing market has yet to catch up with this shift. Many homes that offer the possibility of rural or semi-rural living come with high price tags or inflexible designs that don’t meet modern needs. And while large development companies continue to push fixed-location, high-density neighborhoods, they rarely prioritize quality, personal choice, or sustainability.
The HUTS Starter Home breaks the mold by offering a solution that isn’t bound by the limitations of traditional real estate. With HUTS, you’re the developer. You decide where your home is built, giving you the ultimate freedom to find the place that resonates with you.
Build Affordably, Live Freely
One of the biggest obstacles to choosing an ideal location has always been cost. But with The Starter Home, you’re able to build affordably, without the markup that typically comes with developer-built homes. As your own developer, you avoid the hefty premiums and restrictive conditions developers add to housing, leaving you with a home that’s high-quality, cost-efficient, and built for the long haul.
The Starter Home makes it easy to develop in places that might otherwise feel out of reach. Imagine finding an affordable plot in a beautiful area—whether it’s a rural stretch near a charming town or a wooded property with natural surroundings. With HUTS, your dream of living in these spaces is achievable.
Embrace Flexibility and Sustainability
The beauty of The Starter Home goes beyond affordability. It’s designed to grow with you, adapting to your needs over time while embracing sustainable building practices that make it easy to create a low-impact home. By choosing where to build, you can opt for locations that reduce commuting, lower your carbon footprint, and allow you to design around your values, whether that means more green space or access to local agriculture.
Each Starter Home is designed to be modular and adaptable, offering a phased approach that lets you start small and expand as your needs change. This means you can settle in your ideal location right now, without the need for a massive upfront investment, and make your home grow over time. With expansion options pre-built into the design, your starter home becomes a forever home—flexible enough to meet the demands of life, no matter where it’s built.
Trends Driving the "Live Where You Want" Movement
The shift toward remote work has created new trends in where and how people live. Here are a few ways The Starter Home aligns with this movement:
- Remote Work: With the rise of remote work, more people are looking to escape congested cities and high-cost areas for places with a slower pace of life, fresh air, and a sense of community. The Starter Home offers a perfect match for this lifestyle, letting you build where you want without compromising on modern amenities or design.
- Desire for Connection to Nature: People today are drawn to the idea of living in nature and having access to outdoor spaces. Whether it’s for health, recreation, or simple peace of mind, a closer connection to nature has become a priority. The Starter Home allows you to bring this vision to life by making it affordable to settle in nature-rich areas that promote a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
- Interest in Small Towns and Local Communities: Many people are rediscovering the value of small-town life, with its community spirit, local businesses, and slower pace. The Starter Home supports this shift, making it possible to set down roots in these areas where traditional developers may not typically invest.
- Affordable Living Outside Major Metros: As housing costs in big cities continue to rise, The Starter Home makes it realistic to live in places with lower costs of living and higher quality of life. By building your home affordably, you can live within your means while enjoying the flexibility of a rural or semi-rural lifestyle.
Create Your Own Path
The Starter Home offers an opportunity to design not just a house but a life. By acting as your own developer, you get the freedom to shape the world around you, settle in places that inspire you, and create a home that reflects your values. Whether it’s connecting with nature, embracing small-town life, or simply choosing a more affordable place to live, The Starter Home lets you build a lifestyle that aligns with your personal goals.
