Building an ADU on family land in Nevada County 🏡 Here’s why more families are going this route 👇
With building costs where they are, this family skipped buying and built on land they already had. Mom’s getting a new home on her daughter’s property, so the family stays close.
What’s going in:
🏠 About 1,100 sq ft ADU with vaulted ceilings
🚗 Attached garage
🌄 Big covered patio facing the view
🧱 Retaining wall out back
Where we’re at: the septic tank is in, and we’re finishing the pad (hit some typical foothill rock) before foundation footings go in.
Know someone with land and family who wants to stay close? Send this to them. And follow along, because this is the first of a series on this build.
