I've been wanting an a-typically small home for a while but am having trouble finding any registered builder interested. Maybe I should be telling them I'm building a granny flat...

Royal Wolf have told me that their mining shack fitouts of a 40ft come in around $50k complete. I've no interest in their mining shacks but I may yet get them to do the skilled labour by putting in windows, doors, whirlybird, skylights, internal frame work and take it from there. I have no illusions that I will do it any cheaper but the hope is I will get a better design for living and nicer fittings than they provide. All up, if I can get it on the block, connected and council approved for $100k then it may be an option for me. Getting a mortgage for land only is fairly simple these days. Luckily I can most of the research before I even buy a block. Do up a floorplan, get it drafted, choose fixtures and fittings.
I'll post some floorplans once I have them complete.
In the meantime here's a 20fter looking glam. I especially love the rooftop idea on this one. Amazingly, it sleeps 4. The quality of this fitout would be what I'm trying to achieve.
