We all know you can find almost anything on Amazon, but did you know that includes a house? A look at the online shopping giant reveals that they actually have a fairly wide range of kits and prefabricated tiny homes for sale. What could be better than getting the tiny house of your dreams with free shipping?
From basic shipping container homes to rustic cabins, prices range from just $7,000 to more than $40,000, allowing you to select the kit that fits your budget. A quick search for “garden house” or “tiny home” will pull up most options, with these tiny dwellings perfect for guest houses or extra office space if you aren't looking to permanently downsize.
It's worth noting that many of the kits are sold through third-party vendors, and most will need you to get inventive when it comes to a bathroom and installing insulation—but isn't improvising part of the fun with a tiny home? You'll also want to check local building codes, as laws vary state by state about acceptable structures. Once you've done your research, it's just click and go.
Let's take a look at some of the best finds on Amazon so you can start living out your tiny house fantasies.
Double Story Flat Pack House
Customers rave about this incredible two-story house, which comes in customizable 20-foot and 40-foot configurations. The kit comes with doors and windows and, thanks to its foldable nature, is easy to construct and move. The 40-foot model has room for three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom spread across two levels. It comes with essential amenities like a fully equipped bathroom and kitchen cabinets, ensuring a comfortable living experience. One customer writes, “I’ve never quite known life until I’ve owned this building. I feel like a landlord, farmer, and Minecraft advocate all in one little tornado-proof cube.”
Shipping Container Home
On the other end of the spectrum, if you don't want to spend a lot and don't need much space, you can get this 40-foot basic container home for just $7,000. The one-bedroom tiny home with windows and doors comes pre-assembled for fast installation. If you have a little imagination and DIY know-how to fix up the interior, it's a great deal.
MZ-COS Two-Story Prefabricated Tiny House
If you just want to turn the key and go, this shipping container house may be for you. This two-story villa, comes with a fully equipped bathroom and kitchen cabinets. Composed of two 20-foot shipping containers, there is plenty of room for a flexible layout whether you are looking for extra bedrooms or a small office space.
Allwood Arlanda XL
This small, contemporary home is the perfect solution if you are looking for a sleek, modern design. The 227-square-foot (193-square-foot interior floor area) tiny home works as a guest house, home office, or vacation getaway. Large windows flood the space with light, and this is an easy DIY project to assemble. The downside? With just one large open area, there's no bathroom, so think wisely about how you'd use it and where you'd go to freshen up. On the bright side, this little home can be yours for just over $11,o00. And it does come with an interior wall, so you can carve out a private sleeping area or create a bathroom space by adding subfloor plumbing.
Two-Story Prefab Container House
The 20-foot expandable design has enough space for two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Pre-installed electrical and plumbing are just some of the perks of purchasing this prefabricated home. It comes equipped with all windows and a door, as well as bathroom cabinets, a water heater, a toilet, a sink, a mirror, and a shower area. The kitchen is also equipped with cabinets and set up with both hot and cold water pipes.
Allwood Sommersby Garden House
This tiny house kit has a decidedly mid-century modern vibe. At 174 square feet, it's small but simple, with a completely open floor plan. While this means you have to figure out the bathroom situation, it still makes an ideal guest house or hangout space. With windows covering almost the entire facade, light floods the space, giving it an indoor/outdoor feel. And, at under $10,000, it's a great option if you're sticking to a budget.
Allwood Kit Cabin Chloe
How small can you go? At just over 100 square feet, the Chloe cabin is tiny but full of charm. Windows on three walls allow plenty of light to come through, and it takes two adults just 9 hours to put together the home. The downside? There's not much space for full-time living, but at $9,400 it's a great option for a party of one.
Allwood Claudia Garden House
Think of the Claudia Garden House as the bigger sister to the Chloe Cabin Kit. Boasting 209 square feet, the Nordic wood structure is meant as a pool house or a guest house, or for those looking for a little separation between their home and office. Like Chloe, it doesn’t take long to assemble this tiny home—two adults can do it in one full day of work. You'll have to pay a little more for this kit and spend nearly $12,000.
Foldable Expandable Container Tiny Home
This prefab tiny home comes in varying sizes. It's available as a simple shed, but also as a tiny house with one to three bedrooms. Whether you go for the smaller, 20-foot model with one bedroom or the biggest, 40-foot model with three bedrooms, they're all designed to be weather proof with its wood-imitating exterior. There are also L-shaped cabinets, a water heater, toilet, sink, mirror, a private shower area, and prefabricated U.S. standard electrical and plumbing systems inside the container house

The plan allows for a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bath, and office. There's even a deck and sleeping loft.
