Settlers Series – Compact Character Living

Our Settlers Series offers a beautifully crafted range of smaller cottages—ideal for those wanting a low-maintenance, high-quality home in a compact footprint. With the same attention to detail, materials, and craftsmanship as our larger homes, these cottages deliver charm, comfort, and smart living without compromise.

Ranging from 50 to 70 square metres, each home includes 1 or 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a bespoke kitchen, and bright, sun-filled living areas. A variety of layouts are available to suit different lifestyles, including options with dedicated laundry space.

Some homes in this series are built at 4.2m wide and use a steel beam system, making them especially easy to crane into tighter spaces. Our wider floor plans are built on traditional timber piles, providing flexibility depending on your site requirements.

All homes are fully consented and issued with a Code of Compliance from Marlborough District Council before they leave our yard. The 24.3m² model is available as an ex-yard sale only, while larger Settlers homes can be transported to a range of locations (subject to site and route assessment).

Perfect for:

A cost-effective, compact new home
A second dwelling on your existing property
Accommodation for workers or extended family
Bed and Breakfast or Airbnb use
An office, studio, or remote work space
A holiday bach or coastal retreat

These are character homes that are easy to care for, comfortable to live in, and full of charm. Whether you’re scaling down, adding on, or creating a peaceful retreat—there’s a Settlers Series cottage to suit.
