DESCRIPTION
The Fox Den does three things: a cottage of its own, a guest suite at the back of a property, or a rental. At 505 square feet it manages all three without pretending to be bigger than it is — a living room a full fifteen feet across, a kitchen in its own alcove with room for a dining table between the two, and a bedroom that’s a proper separate room with a door. A full bathroom with a tub, a laundry room, and a covered porch that sits outside the footprint rather than carved out of it. It’s the smallest cottage we build, and the one that fits the widest range of lots.

Fox Den, answered.
What does the Fox Den's $229,500 starting price include?
It covers the cottage itself — built to specification, delivered to your site, and installed on a prepared foundation. It does not include the foundation, site preparation, servicing, permits or municipal development charges. Those are quoted separately against your particular lot, because a serviced backyard in a town and a rural parcel needing a well and septic produce very different numbers. You get both figures before you commit.
What is the Fox Den's footprint, and will it fit my lot?
The Fox Den is 22 feet wide by 24 feet deep, or 505 sq ft, with a covered porch running along the front outside that footprint. Whether it fits depends on your municipality’s setbacks, lot coverage limits and — if you’re placing it as a secondary unit — the maximum floor area your by-law allows. Delivery access matters as much as the footprint: a truck and crane need room to reach the site and set the module. We check both at the site visit.
Can the Fox Den be used as a backyard suite or garden suite?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common uses for this model. Additional residential units are permitted broadly across Ontario, but each municipality sets its own rules on maximum size, setbacks, servicing and parking, and those vary considerably — some cap a detached ARU well below 505 sq ft, others allow more. The by-law for your specific property is the first thing to check, and we can help you work through it.
What's actually in 505 square feet?
A living room measuring 15′-0″ x 11′-0″, a dining space between the living room and the kitchen, a kitchen at 6′-0″ x 8′-0″, a bedroom at 9′-6″ x 9′-9″ with its own door and a linen closet outside it, a full bathroom with a tub, a separate laundry room, and an entry foyer with a coat closet. The covered porch is additional to that.
Does the Fox Den arrive finished inside?
It arrives drywall-ready — structure, insulation, windows, doors and mechanical systems complete, with interior surfaces ready for paint and final finishes. Flooring, paint, and finish selections are handled from there, and we can walk you through options at design stage so you know what’s included before you commit.
Can the Fox Den be lived in year-round?
The building can be specified for year-round use — talk to us about insulation, glazing and heating options at design stage. What usually decides it is the property rather than the cottage: winter road access, servicing, and how your municipality classifies the dwelling. Full-time occupancy is also a condition of some financing, which is worth establishing early.
