Ready-now cabin setup, skip the 4 month wait and save vs buying new

Avoid long manufacturing and shipping delays with this ready-to-go Expanders cabin setup, available early May.

Only 6 months old and in excellent condition, these cabins were used by our family of four as a practical home while building. One cabin is set up for living (kitchen, bathroom, lounge), the other as an office and storage.

Pricing context A comparable setup new (cabins + upgrades like califont, electrical, beam supports) would cost approx $59,000+, before transport and site works.

Available now for $45,000 (cabins + included upgrades). Transport, relocation, and site setup at buyer’s cost.

Expanders (Christchurch) cabins, well-built expandable portable buildings. Prefer to sell as a package, but may consider separately.

For context, we slept in a separate caravan beside the cabins (not for sale), which helped create a very practical small-scale living setup while building. We also have a second small retro caravan that our kids used as a lego room, which will be listed separately.
