Things We Need in Upstate NY: Shepherd Huts

Thinking of buying a fixer-upper bungalow colony in the Catskills? How about plopping some of these babies on the property? There’s a company in the UK called Blackdown that designs and builds these adorable shepherd huts, and we would love to see a whole colony of them nestled away in the mountains somewhere. Each one is built on cast-iron wheels and range in size from 12×7.5ft to 18×7.5ft. Add-ons include wood stoves, beds, canvas awnings, gas boilers, and shower rooms. They come in metal and road-towable versions, too. What do you think of a little slice of the English Countryside in the Catskills? We definitely approve. More pictures and info here.
