love this ... looks and feels clear, clean and great .... on another note whilst you may have the bulk of your viewers are in the USA, as someone living in the UK its so great to see companies that are European based as i am looking to have around 6 on my glamping site ... so i appreciate these non USA companies ... thanks
On their site (today) they have what appears to be a double wide with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths . . . I’ve enquired but I have to see how my finances pan out in about a year! It’s a great floor plan! I remember it’s height as 8’6”, 21’ 7” wide, 36’ 1” length! I love it! ❤
I told some people that prefab homes are the future and improvements were being made every year... this was at a party...some thought I was crazy...your newest video here is a dream come true. It's fun to be right.
Hi! I so appreciate and enjoy your channel. One thing I’d like to ask is if it would be possible for you start including the projected monthly energy costs of these homes (like when you buy a regular home, the owners must provide monthly energy bill estimates) and if the homes are solar-panel ready. It’s really an important part of decision-making, as many people want carbon-neutral or all-electric homes now. Thank you!
It looks good. The price isnt bad. I have a empty lot with power, water and septic in place. I cant put this on my lot because of the size. City requirements are a minimum of 650 sq ft.
just an aside but would a porch surround u could enclose make it up to 650 sf? it could be built after, a bit slower . i rember owning a house once whete 50 years prior to my occupancy tjete was a porch that got enclosed and it increased sf. always cold there until i insulated in the roof and attic.
Wow. I really really love the look of all of the Keu models. Each one is great. The LED lights really make them pop. Geez. The exterior is so cool looking that I could see myself walk outside, in the middle of the night, in my pajamas, just to enjoy the exterior with all the lights on. Super update Kerry. The roll you’re on continues. 👍🏽
I say keep posting homes you can't get in the US, the more folks who email that company requesting US delivery, the more likely they are to look into it. great video, great looking house. I feel like there is so much you can do in the pre-fab space. ripe for opportunity.
I like the layout of the American, but as cool as that glass walkout is, I'm afraid out here in Arizona, that feature would turn it into a hot house. I don't care how "energy efficient" folks claim their windows are, afraid it just wouldn't work out here. Thanks Kerry! ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
What if you covered the roof and sides of the walkout, faced that end of the house north and planted a couple of large, fast growing trees close there?
It’s difficult to build a house that fits all temperatures and all weather and nature disasters. In AZ you could adjust this house with building a roof over it and even some sun protection around it.
Love the lighting and the window box. I couldn't find the American version online from the link you posted. Could you post a link for that goes straight to it?
I remember this one, at least I think it's the same. One of the series of home appeared to have a shower in that window bump out, and I wondered how they could take a shower in that open window box! Maybe that was a dream?! 🤷
This looks FANTASTIC! Questions: Can it be built as a 2 or 3-story home? Would a garage be able to be built with it as well? Thanks so much for the wonderful, informative, inspirational videos, Kerry!!! You ROCK!
What is the point of being one of RU-vid's award-winning, highest-rated, and best commentators if you can't give out an I-told-you-so every now and again? I mean all that struggle, time, effort, energy, and makeup ought to count for *something*, right?
I like the layout but there's no price per unit so it doesn't matter. If I were to do something with them, I want to get at least 2-3 stacked together so that it's a full sized home with a dedicated office space and workout area for my needs.
@@tlvance3973 then for that money WealthGuy can just build a spec home! Code issues vary, R factor is needed knowledge, and just like trailers, you may/may not be even allowed to place these units. YOu don;t just PLUNK it down somewhere. We have modulars right beside 3 million dollar homes and you'd never know, BUT District still has all their inspections/requirements.
@@tlvance3973 For 100 grand US you can buy a self contained MODULAR from Eagle Homes in BC Canada that has all the bells and whistles and yes, they customize. Friend build her own large home through them, AND a she shed garage and you'd never notice the difference on her road to 2 and 3 million dollar homes next door.
“It takes me two hours to burn a lasagna“ LMAO I really need a floor plan that is at least 600 ft.². I’ve got 5 acres of land in Colorado that has a minimal requirement of 600 ft.². It seems like a lot of these companies barely make a footprint larger than that. Love the design of this and hopefully I can do something along these lines . Thanks Kerri!
Beautiful product. But keep in mind that permit approvals and inspections will make this approach a real challenge as it's foreign made. Each state and jurisdiction has its codes and they are NOT translatable to Spanish codes. In WA prefab structures go thru a special review involving state L&I and the units get inspected during fabrication. Not sure how this process could even work. Would love to see a video getting into the nuts and bolts of all that.
now the last model looks like something id like to buy 30 of and make a waterfront village out of. looking to buildout a present marina and have a resort on the water along with adding a fulltime liveaboard yacht club. already have a 18 hole professional golf coarse and restaurant within our already gated community.
Wow @kenhogle7333 that’s amazing I plan on doing the same exact thing!! Can I contact you brother I’d love to have a short conversation with you if possible!?
"A KEU for Kerry"... has a nice ring to it. Still, I do see a few things that are concerning. With it's severe box-like exterior, there looks to be many cracks and crevices for rain to do considerable damage over the long haul. For instance, when rain puddles up on the roof, especially the glass portion, how will the water escape? Will rain eat away at the seals between the panels? Also, without overhangs, how will water flow off the roof and the tops of the exterior window ledges? I could see rain causing permanent streaks on the exterior panels too, though that could look great over time. Another concern I have are the windows, most clearly seen at 1:39. I've see these types of windows frequently, where the latch opens the windows sideways but the problem is that these types of windows barely crack open. Not being able to open windows fully feels claustrophobic and would inhibit airflow. These types of windows are common in newer European housing. The long horizontal window in the kitchen looks to have a similar mechanism, if it opens at all. I do hope all of those LED lights are on dimmer switches too. They can be annoying at full brightness. My third issue is with the high top table in the kitchen. In two words, "impractical and hideous", or is that three words? Who wants to step up into a cheesy restaurant style high chair every time you have a meal? Good luck trying to feed babies and youngsters from that type of dining table too. Of course, there's a solution. Buy a KEU 2.1 and sit on the couch to eat your chorizo tacos, just like Kerry. Whoops... "Honey, I spilled the Tabasco on the white boucle!"
As an FYI - size does matter. The $10k shipping is at best really, really rough. Deck space on a ship costs. Can these be stacked with containers? If not that effects shipping costs, as well. So, while the $10k is a bit helpful, is it a average, a conservative guess or? So, in summary, the smaller unit should be a bit less costly than bigger ones to ship. For what that nugget of insight is worth.🤷🏻♀️ Says a fan girl in Kentucky.
Wonder how companies test the effects of rain and snow and ice? Long term? And if they have one in a controled 24/7/365 rain simulation in their warehouse... That would be my biggest concern, since I am from Chicago area. Looks amazing tho!
So are we all supposed to be getting excited about modern trailer park living, with LED lights and unnecessarily WiFi connected household items? I’m all for sustainability and practicality, but it seems the trend is simply; get as many people back into shotgun houses, row houses, trailer parks, and basic workers quarters. Your channel has brought to light the broader decrease in the standard of living globally for first world nations. Love the Spicy Chicken reference, BTW. Cheers!
Nice home. The description of each section (home) sounds nice. I do not believe you mentioned a washer and dryer, the price seems reasonable. Thank you
The Kasita is back?! Love it because it shares the same DNA as the Kasita which I think is no longer (and which I visited in Austin). Best yet Kerry, thanks!
Absolutely love your humour! And your apparant love for chicken sandwiches! Discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, just liked and subscribed today.Thanks for doing what you do. Have a wonderful day.💙🙏😊
I like this idea but something in the 600 sq ft range might be easier to live in without feeling claustrophobic imo. Then you need to buy the land, live in a temperate climate without severe heat or cold, connect to municipal services for hydro, gas/propane/solar, water, sewer, and finally do they conform with town/city codes and bylaws. It's still a nice way to live minimally.
I spent 7 years planning for exactly that and then finally built, finishing 2 years ago. Took me forever to find a location with decent climate, affordable land with lake and mountain views. Bought the land first 6 years before building. It was undeveloped land but right off the road where I could get power from the street (huge savings the closer you are to that street for power). I knew I had 7 years before moving so I took each step pretty slow. First thing I did was a property survey. It included to determine the property line, topographic, soil, floodplan, sub-surface for septic or well, etc. Cost me $400. Next I hired an Architect and began a long 6 year journey with him. I didn't have all the money upfront to do this project at once but I did have the time so I decided to approach it as "pay as you go." I worked with my Architect to do the whole project in stages over 5 years (ultimately took 6 years). This gave me time to save up for each stage. Long story short, I bought a acre million dollar view land with 270 degree lake views on top of a hill for $31k in Glenhaven California (Clear Lake). It's breathtaking, at least to me. My point is, the process you laid out about buying land, permitting, etc can still be achievable AND affordable even today with the sky-high housing market if you take the time to look, research, and maybe even sacrifice some of the things you initially wanted. For me, that sacrifice was giving up living near a large city. I had to for the lake and mountain views I wanted on a low budget. I'm about an hour and a half from Sacramento and 2.5 hours away from San Francisco. Lots of small towns are all around me so it actually turned out that I didn't sacrifice that at all because I'm not missing it. I bought a used 34 ft 5th wheel camping trailer for $19k and parked it right on my land while construction was going on. Took over a year to build the house but honestly, I was rethinking my whole life existence while living in the 5th wheel. It was NICE! I could have easily lived in that thing with those views of the lake and mountain. Could have bought the land, bought a bigger 5th wheel trailer all under $100k. Much lower than a 100k but I like landscaping so that would cost me up to that $100k mark. There's still plenty of lake/mountain land here for sale that's affordable. Look up Glenhaven, Clear Lake, or Kelseyville California. You may be shocked at the price of land here with miliion dollar views.
omg kerry, you had me literally LOL'n at the, "I told ya so" look and then the important thoughts...of chicken sammies 🤣🤣🤣 thanks soooo much for laughs and really awesome review of a really impressive, especially for the price and features, and well lit 😉 place
The starting price is $55k, 85k, and $95k. This doesn't include taxes, installation or the flat $10k for the importantation to America from Spain. Prices may vary if you're from another country or are from say West Coast USA too. You're welcome.
No one ever seems to talk about acquiring replacement parts decades down the road, when the company no longer exists, or is no longer producing said parts. How is one meant to maintain a non-standardized home in the long-run?
Nice homes. and good for you (and us) to report on something that wasn't here and now IS. AND at prices that people have been waiting for. Fabulous ...what you do .
Hi Kerry. I'm looking to retire within the next year or so and move from California to Colorado where my daughter and her family live. I'm exploring options and love the tiny house concept and pre-mfg homes, however finding places to put them are few and far between. The zoning required is for RVs & mobile homes. Since trailer parks have a bad reputation, no one wants to live near them. So, they're either remote and not convenient to good medical, which is essential for me, or they're not in great areas. And the incredibly rare location in a great area has a $1.5M buy-in, which is absurd and defeats the purpose. How long do you think it will take communities and politicians to wake up to the fact that most people in America cannot afford the 'American Dream' home? Are you aware of any substantive initiatives on the horizon which will enlighten the U.S. to smaller, more stream-lined living spaces similar to much of Europe, Scandavia, and Japan? Any guidance for how I can make my downsized dream retirement home come to fruition? (North Denver to Fort Collins, Loveland, Boulder quadrant) Thanks! Anita
In California, zoning has changed so that such units can be placed in backyards to help ease the housing shortage. First check to see if it's doable to put such a unit on a family member's property. If not, see if a zoning variance can be obtained for such a "mother-in-law" unit. The other way to go is to find a property in an area you want that is or can be zoned commercial for a hotel/motel and then develop that property with 6 or more units and you live in one. I own a 3 unit Airbnb in a residential neighborhood that I was able to get zoned legally as a hotel. In conclusion, yes, communities need to zone for such high-end small smart homes. I think most communities, and I agree, don't want ugly RV and mobile home parks. This will change as such units become more widely known.
I have the same situation. I've been googling 'Accessory Dwelling Unit' or ADU as that is a term that seems to be in a lot of town ordinances. That may help.
Yeap, everyone wants one but zoning just about everywhere is a no go. I am in GA and these will never be allowed all the white trash in the 70's and 80's with their single Wides ruined it for ever!
Great presentation abs truly entertaining always. I'll check them out at the boat show in Oct. I'm looking to get one for a project. Thx for the info and great work!
Very cool looking home Kerry. Thanks. Love your food references. The dry humor is priceless. You may have already covered this in other videos, but I'm curious about weathering on and life of these prefab homes. What is the durability of these homes? Is it better, the same or worse than traditional homes.
Loving this one Kerry…Sweet-Slick-Stylish…price seems reasonable to…will keep an eye on this one…and, let me not fail to mention…you do a Beautiful Job as a content creator ( Host )…love your presentations…wit…and Demeanor…keep it Coming…Poncho C Saint Fingers…
