1. The prices listed where deceptively low… meaning they didn’t include the pretty big cost of the foundation construction, electrical hook-up, plumbing and various options. Also, for the price listed, you get the kit. I’m sure it costs a pretty penny to have the company assemble it for you. My guess is that after all of the real costs, you’d pay closer to $20,000 for a ready-to-move-into yurt, than the $5000 listed for the smallest one. And if you didn’t go for the whole set-up and just bought the kit as is, why not just buy a tent. For $5000 you could get several pretty impressive, warm tents.

2. For twenty thousand, you might as well buy a trailer. You could for sure get a used trailer for less than that. Trailers have straight lines and thus more easily used space. For instance… it’s tricky to put furniture or kitchen cabinetry up against a circular wall. You would have to have custom built for them to not look odd. The circular wall would not hold any weight at all… for anything…. like pictures, art, sconces, shelves. That’s okay. I’m just saying it has to be considered. Also, you need to like the look of lattice because that’s what you’ll be looking at.

3. I also put yurts in the same category as trailers when it comes to safety. Meaning… they’ll be carried away in a whirlwind or smashed to smithereens by even a small tornado. In Missouri it would be most unwise to live in a trailer or a yurt and only the poorest people do so at their own risk… because they can’t afford a safer option.

4. Living in a yurt would be like a vacation cabin in the woods, or by the lake… I guess. But, it’s not an option I would go for year round. And, it’s not an option I would put a family through full time. It’s a novelty that would be fun on occasion, but would quickly wear thin if it were my permanent living conditions.

5. Only two reasons I can see for buying a yurt kit, and those are… a yurt gives a feeling of open head space more than a traditional trailer, or, a person wants to buy into a cultural connotation… like dressing in a certain way to be part of a certain group which in this case is the “environmentally minded”.

6. So true yurt living to me is someone who builds it from scratch themselves. Then you have someone really interacting conservatively with their environment… plus, you could possible have it “live-in ready” for $5000. That means a less permanent foundation, make shift electricity, an out house or composting toilet and maybe one water faucet (cold only). But you’d have to have some skills.
