I would assume you either cook outside and build an outhouse - since they are just weekenders. If you want one to live in for long periods you'd either buy a bigger one and make bathrooms and kitchen once installed, or build them on later.
@@astridgalactic9336 .. I'm in my late 50's and we used an outhouse.. And yes! During those winter months we literally and figuratively froze our butts off...going to the outhouse...doing our "business" in the outhouse...coming from the outhouse.. We had electricity, but our home was heat with coal potbelly stoves and coal in our fireplaces in each bedrooms downstairs, now the upstairs that was a totally different story.. Our mom washed our clothes in electric wringer washer, but line dried them outside and/or inside...we took our baths in a medium size portable galvanized tub by a fireplace in one of the downtown back bedroom...our only water source was a water pump at the kitchen sink (Nope! no running water either) and mom cooked our meals on an coal cooking stove.. And let me tell you, food cooked and baked on/in a wood or coal cooking stove, OMG! That would be the very best food you would ever have tast.. We came into the 20th century, at least that was what mom called it while laughing, when I was either 12 or 13.. We got ourselves a bathroom (turned one of the downstair bedroom into it)...we got ourselves running water...a electric cooking range (food had a total different taste) and a electric washer and dryer, but yet we still heat our house with potbelly coal stoves and fireplaces... Mom, she was tickled pink over it, us kids not so much...
Robert Smith .. this is the basic option .. no one forbids you to order a cottage with a bathroom and kitchen .. but it’s better to buy a separate sauna for $ 5000
2:05 -- The signs on these "houses" read "БАНЯ" (banya), which means "bathhouse". These buildings are NOT rural cottages (дача , dachas), they are SAUNAS.
guys, on this video you can see two kinds of houses: big and small. Big house to live and small house is a sauna(bania). Usually Russians try to have both these houses on their dachas.
For people complaining on lack of kitchens and bathrooms even condos in Russia are sold without it. Kitchen and sanitary things considered in class of furniture and usually installed by owner.
I understand putting in appliances and even bathroom fixtures. However, there isn’t any roughed-in plumbing. When the connection pipes are not installed, it is a major renovation and much more difficult than putting in the pipes during construction.
These are called log cabins in the USA. They’re quite popular. I liked house #3 the best. I loved the fact the wood was not painted a different color but they kept its natural color. Loved it. I think this would be functional for a family.
This is not a country. It is not even a normal village. This is just a collection of model houses that some developer offers to build. And the prices are for the structure only, because you have to pay extra for installation, delivery, utilities hookup etc., (makes it double price or more).
For all of you guys who is asking about outhouses and kitchens - A dacha is a type of weekend rest place in the nature for urban people. You may cook outside or buy a table in your room if you want to, and an outhouse usually is another building near the house. Hopefully, it helps for understanding the meaning of dachas.
Only 10,000 ? that is less then the cost of just the windows in a typical America...Imagine 10K plus plumbing to house a homeless family of 4 .... there should not be any homeless anywhere in the world at this price...Russia is sitting on a gold mine
Durda I don't know where you live but a house this size where I live in the U.S. would never run $100k. Something this small would run 10-15k WITH plumbing and better heating/cooling.
I'm English. A lot of people in the west have no concept of Dacha living. I have happy memories of this lifestyle with my Russian partner, sadly deceased. I laugh when so many seem concerned about bathrooms, plumbing, kitchens etc. What the video shows is the basic shell on a sales stand, you add the rest. The toilet is usually a separate out building, and ours had a separate banya /Bathhouse.
'Tiny houses' go to the extreme in supplying LOTS of storage, a kitchen, a complete bathroom, and closet space! Tiny houses do NOT qualify as 'sheds' unless you live in Canada; they have all the amenities, just in a much smaller package!
@@tytemind8882 They are great for a young couple just starting out, a single person, or a couple wanting to downsize after retirement. I certainly wouldn't want to try to raise a family in one, but many people find the size just right for them.
I'm absolutely in love with the prices too. . such beauty. I've been fascinated with Russia since I was a child. . just lovely. . Thank you for the tour. .
Nice, I think in America we would call a Dacha House, a Log Home or a Cabin (especially if small). They are most common in rural mountainous areas where the air is drier and cooler.
It is. Just place for rest at summer on holidays. At winter Dachas used extremely rare, often it just impossibly (no road/energy/water). But more spread, near 60% of families at cities has own Dacha.
In America I would call it a boy scout camp cabin. Would be a fun kind of roughing it experience for a weekend, better than a tent. Use a camping stove and bring your own water.
For all those asking where is the bathroom and kitchen, she did say those were just display houses and that when you order you would then make changes etc that you require, which would obviously be when you have bathroom plumbing and kitchen fixtures put in place. They seem to be really well made though and it was super interesting to see how people there would live when on holiday or the weekend. Thank you for this video.
These are adorable! I could live very happily in one of these little homes and a little sauna. I would add a bathroom and a little kitchen and wood stove to mine. But would get 1 of the small ones. And put it in the mountains to live full time. Would love the round logs and paint it green with a yellow door. But it’s nice to see videos of people around the world and how they live. Enjoy these types of videos very much.
I really love them they are full of character. I get they are the basic kit but have so much potential with plumbing and electrics. Just so cute !!! Wish they sent them to Australia!!!
Thank you for the video! Its great to see and learn the way other cultures live... I think many commentors are confused - and some may be more shocked at the difference between what they have/are used to versus what others are used to having... great lessons to learn - which may take some additional research... but you definitely introduced a conversation. 😊
I love the construction techniques. The log Dachas seem to have been milled to uniform size. I also love the color variation with decorative accents. Superb! 👍✌
Fred Thorne - So, waddaya say Fred? How bout you and me get one of those dachas and set it up in Siberia where you and me can go hunting, fishing and other assorted manly things. Watcha think? 👍🏻🤔👍🏻😀🇷🇺🇺🇸👍🏻
Logica Redux I am so ready. Siberia here we come. If Agafia can do it, so can we. I'll saw wood and plant Taters, Maters, Corn, and Squash! Then get a caribou and a moose or two, couple of decks of cards, and a two way short wave radio with single-side band hitched to a big assed dipole antenna (10 meters) and let the world roll over!
Fred Thorne - Outstanding! And I will eat them taters And maters! I'm not sure Agafia will abide having us as neighbors though. That blessed lady would no doubt find us too profane. 😳
I suppose they are intended for a retreat, with a communal kitchen, dining room and bath located elsewhere. Also, she said these are models and you can add extras for more $$.
I feel the warmth of the sauna from here in Missouri. Very relaxing and healthy. Thank you for sharing. I understand the dacha house more now. Valeria your voice is so soothing! Very good video.
I really enjoyed this video. It is so nice to know that summer homes there are what we used to have in North America. A place to just enjoy and. Be a part of nature. Reading many of the comments really reminded how insane our cottage life here has become. Here it is not about being in nature any more...3,000 ft, homes, movie room, 2- 4 bathrooms, 400 sq ft designer chef kitchens, 1 or more boats, 2 or more jet skis etc...all determined to bring the city to the country and destroy nature and displace the wildlife that called it home....wow....This video and the comments are a reality check on how nuts we have become here in North America. Yes there are still many little pockets of cabins and summer homes left that are not what I have decsribed...but they are fast disappearing as people are buying up anything on a postage stamp of water and smacking a minimum of a 2,000 sq ft home on it.
the closest thing we have in america to these dacha are sleeping cabins, often found by a lake. you play and swim and boat and fish and hike and cook-out and sing & roast marshmallows around the campfire. then retire to your cabin for the night. so much fun in those younger days!
Fantastic ! I can't believe you get such good quality and for so little money. I think I will move to Russia, my wife is Russian so for me it would be easy. Here in the UK I would expect to pay around £100000 ( about $ 125000 ) and they would not be as good as you have.
@Augustus Caesar, I was thinking the same thing, prices are similar here in Florida, maybe 20% less, the more I think about it, the more I think we will spend retirement in Russia or Belarus, the summer climate is wonderful compared to here, my wife is also Belarussian so it may also be easier for me than most, from my understanding land is very cheap too, my wife's parents have a 1 hectare lot (a little less than 3 acres) of land in the countryside about 40km from Minsk and paid only $800
Thomas Carney Umm.. you’re confusing the cost of the construction of a building regardless of location, with simply the location. I other words when you say you pay $6300 to live in DC, you are not so much paying so much for the actual rooms/home but for the convenience to the great attractions, opportunities, businesses etc in the area.
Most people in Russia who have summer house (dacha) also try to have banya house on their property (sauna)because it is considered very healthy. Also these houses are also situated on a good size lots even for ordinary people so people can enjoy their passion of organic (mostly) gardening and enjoy growing fresh herbs berries and vegetables and, if climate allows, fruit too.
Interesting. Thanks for showing! Some are very nice, but much too small to sell in Canada. Waterfront property is so valuable here now very few people have a summer cottage. Standard 3 bedroom year round houses are built now -- usually one storey bungalows --, even though it might be used only summers and weekends. Buildings like you are showing might be an extra on the property -- as a guest house "Bunkie" for sleeping quarters for extra guests. If a normal family can't afford it, they might rent it out by the week for a month in the summer to vacationing people for extra money to pay it off. We don't usually have a sauna room in our cottages, although someone of Finnish background might put one in special. A "hot tub" of very hot water outside is more popular, although it is expensive to heat the water for 4-6 people in the tub.
I just started to watch your show 's. And I thank you for your time. I now have a different look at your home land. we're told a different story. Thanks!!!
If the price doesn't include labor and it's just a DIY "kit" then it's not much cheaper than US prices. I think it includes labor, however. The video doesn't say.
I really can't tell you how good it is to hear your voice Valeria! It is a pleasure! WOW!! Those dachas are very nice! They look like excellent values for the money they are asking. I could see myself living in such a place. 😀 It almost tempts me to research the laws for foreign nationals owning property in Russia. 🤔
Hi Guy. Thank God this world has not collapsed yet. Russian law in this sense is a fairly advanced. Here You will need ID card and visa. But our officials and the bureaucracy, that's quite another matter )) These guys can make to any person a nervous wreck over various trifles ((
ImixSpb - BTW, do you know what Sergey is up to? Am I missing something? He lost his brother and now he is spending all this time and money hanging out alone in New York without his family. What is he looking for?
These houses are cute and small , like a miniature log cabin in the mountains😉 I didn't see any electrical outlets or plumbing so I'm thinking that's extra $$ Otherwise, very nice! I'd buy one for vacation time😁
A cabin like the last one, with a kitchen and bathroom, would cost $70,000 US (or more) without the land in the US. I think I'd have to redo the stairs though. I could see myself falling down those stairs pretty easily! lol These are beautiful though, especially for the price. And people think we have it so good in the US... pfffft Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I dont think you are being very realistic, these structures are more closely related to sheds in the US. As you say, there is no bathroom or kitchen facilities or central heating or air conditioning and they are probably poorly insulated if at all and with rudimentary electrical wiring if at all, plus shipping charges, I dont know if assembly is included.
What isn't realistic? For one, it's not a shed. It's nowhere near how sheds are constructed in the US. It's solid timber construction, like a log cabin. These are prefabbed kits assembled on your property (not included in the price) and the foundation plus upgrades like kitchen, bath, central air, and additional electrical components cost extra. The blue one valued at $10k USD is 1160 sq ft under roof. A log cabin kit in the US for that sq footage will start around $60k to $70k, depending on location. These kits do not include the land, appliances, plumbing fixtures, foundation, excavation/clearing of the land, labor, etc. So I stand by my OP, a cabin kit of 1100 +- sq ft with a kitchen and bath will run about $70k. Include the labor and items on a move-in ready build, double that, and that's still without the cost of the land factored in.
Ronni Buck By the time you add a bathroom or two..all the plumbing, and electric, add a kitchen, (cabinetry, countertops,etc. And put in heat..you will pay the same..
Beautiful, I like the rustic, log design. I wish I had a sauna. I have a full bathroom instead. Lol, that sounded different than I meant it. I understand how your bathrooms & toilets are a bit different than in US. I realize you all have both. A sauna is just so wonderful in a cold climate.
They are lovely homes. I can't believe that you can buy a home for $5 grand. Oh my god. You can't buy a car for $5000 dollars in the US, let alone a full on house. Wow. I am jealous. They are as charming as the nested Russian dolls. And if I could buy one, I would definitely buy some nested Russian dolls to make it homey. I don't need more than 600 square feet of living space.
@@gentillydanny I wondered how well insulated they're too... The last one has a fireplace in a small room in the front... Widows in the upstairs bedroom doors and such a dinky balcony all you can do is stand on it... BUT they're interesting and might do well in a warmer climate where you can cook and use an outhouse and have a stream or outdoor well... ALL are odd designs, as even she says about the staircases, but at leas they're doable in that way
lynn craig The houses you see in this video are demos. You choose the house you want to buy. Then it will be built on your land. Electrics, plumbing and more are installed during the construction process in the places that you specify, where you really need it. In addition, these house samples are not the final option. You can make the changes you need, and they will build in a single style what you want.
Thank you for sharing this video. The prices are very cheap. I wish they sold something like that here for $10,000. That would make a nice hunting cabin in the Mountains for deer and elk season.
Cаша Романов Nice looking house for summer only. It would not pass the housing codes set by the US government for year round housing. Would definitely have to add air conditioning for summer use. Wood house, I would cook like a potato in the oven.
I’m assuming these are vacation or weekend houses. They look very well built, I like all the wood. They are all very cute homes, but what do you do for kitchens and bathrooms? In the US these would be what we call tiny houses, but they have kitchens & bathrooms. Thank you for sharing this...I appreciate being able to see about other cultures etc.
In rural area of Alaska these are houses where people live year round ( small houses or tiny houses ) But to most people they are cabins.. used for recreation where people cook outside and have an outdoor bathroom or community building for laundry and showers etc... The one shown are BASIC MODELS... as she says
Absolutely gorgeous wooden houses. I would definitely pay extra for basic plumbing, but I have thought for a while that the US has a problem... we require by law that our houses be so complex that the price becomes unattainable. And the way costs are cut? Cheap shitty building material that looks terrible. I have always wanted to live in a beautiful wooden house. The US needs to learn a few things from these little houses!
You will get tired of wood covering every wall, floor and ceiling very soon, if you live in such house permanently. These are just dachas - weekend/summer houses, so they will do for a while, but even then some people just avoid all this abundance of yellow color. For me it feels like I live in a beehive.
You can't live in these houses, they are summer homes. If you wanted to live in them full time, you'd have all the same rules and laws that you have to have in the US. Also in the US, you can buy the same thing except we call them cabins and they are sold in kits and just like in Russia, you have to get the land, permits, utilities etc. You don't have to tear down one country to compliment another.
"Banya" stands for Sauna (with extra room for relaxation). Dacha is a vacation (summer) cottage. There are no houses for permanent year-long living in this video.
Surprisingly, like civilized people, but you can not distinguish a bath from a garden house, a bath Where the stove and shelves are washed and steamed, and even stray linen.. A well presented house for a garden plot Is a shop on the street , you offer options, you choose, and the place yourself are designing in the house to make the toilet and on the street, I repeat, this is a summer house for vacation, and next nebolshoy land for greenhouses, berries, trees. On the plot, everyone has a house and a bath......
Gorbachev wrote a law where every Russian citizen was entitled to one acre of land. They could live there for as long as they liked with no building codes and they could pass it along to their children but they couldn't sell it. These parcels of land are called dachas. But the idea of dacha is much older than this. Dr Zhivago hid in his dacha from his enemies, this is because dachas have no legal address. There are a lot of really great things about dacha culture, it is such a free life and at the height of the Soviet era, the dachas were growing 90% of Russia's food! In that day, if you had a dacha, you ate and if you didn't then you might have starved!
Even if you get that extra, it still wouldn't cost a lot.. In Russia you don't need $10,000 to install kitchen and bathrooms. It way cheaper than that. Plus, in dachas the 🚽 are outside, it's an extra tiny bathroom cabin, in the ground they make a large 🕳️ , put the cabin on top of it, and go to the bathroom. Some Dachas are not made for a living, you go there to rest for a few days and work on the garden and go back to the city. Plus most of those are saunas and it's not your typical 🏠.
I'm amazed that normal people can afford these. Here in Germany people are struggling to afford a first home, no chance of a Dacha! Glad you're doing well, you have a lot of space for these things in your beautiful country :-)
Charming homes! Love the different colors, and the sizes of them... Was surprised to see saunas in them. That is a tradition in Russia ? I'm sure it would feel wonderful to warm up in on a cold dark winter night. Greetings from Michigan
In the US you might get a shed for $5-10 thousand. Made with flat particle board wood outside shell and 2 basic windows. NOTHING LIKE WHAT IS SHOWN! You could put a few of these together and make a beautiful home!
Hi Valeria. My name is Celia (South Africa) LUV RUSSIA! Thanks for your program! Just want to ask if I may,where is the kitchen and bathroom in these lovely homes? Does one put it in later? Enjoy spring, its now autum in South Africa. One day I want to visit Russia!
@@ramona4913.. When you get your ass into a sauna you become healthier and more fit, saunas clean your pores and that gets rid of a lot of toxins in your water ( flouride ) and in your food ( the GMOs courtesy of Monsanto / Monsatan ) after the sauna put on your extra thick bathrobe and go sit by the fireplace ..
She started this video not with a real dacha house, but with secondary detached structures: saunas (banyas). And even in main buildings - dachas or city flats/condos - a kitchen may come with a sink and oven installed only, usually there are no cabinets, as people buy and install these themselves along with buying all other appliances.
No closets, outlets, toilet, shower, kitchen ???? How are you going to get a bed and dresser up those stairs?? But the log walls in the last one are varnished and set SO BEAUTIFULLY....Ecellent craftmanship...I also like the 6 panel doors....lovely !!!!
Half the size of the first house would be about 125 square feet; you could definitely do better than that for $70K. You won't get much for $70K in the US but even tiny houses typically include kitchens and bathrooms. The basic structure shown in dacha house #1 would probably sell for about $25 - 35K (labor included) in the US depending on the wood and materials used.

Here in Canada , the house you described as using round wood, we would call a log cabin.
Here in Canada you can't buy a used travel trailer for that kind of money. These are all beautiful.
Are those real logs pressure-treated for weather would make a nice little cabin near the lake
Some of them not even houses, they are bathhouses(Russian sauna)
Gerhard Jene .. I've seen some log cabin style Summer cottages up in the Muskokas ..
Same in the US. But I think the term "round wood" is adorable.
For people complaining on lack of kitchens and bathrooms even condos in Russia are sold without it. Kitchen and sanitary things considered in class of furniture and usually installed by owner.

Tweedy Birdy I think they use outhouses.
BYOB Bring your own bathroom? How can that be? Guess they can be inexpensive if there is no plumbing?
Russia or not, one must do what one must do.
This is a model and example of the house . After buying you do kitchen, bathroom and toilet. It will cost min 2000-3000 $ plus

These houses are so cheap and beautiful. The one made from round logs looks very similar to a ‘log cabin’ found in the USA and Canada.

Dacha houses are very Eastern European and traditional Russian. Love them! 💘🌷🙌
These are adorable! I could live very happily in one of these little homes and a little sauna. I would add a bathroom and a little kitchen and wood stove to mine. But would get 1 of the small ones. And put it in the mountains to live full time. Would love the round logs and paint it green with a yellow door. But it’s nice to see videos of people around the world and how they live. Enjoy these types of videos very much.
I really love them they are full of character. I get they are the basic kit but have so much potential with plumbing and electrics. Just so cute !!! Wish they sent them to Australia!!!
Thank you for the video! Its great to see and learn the way other cultures live... I think many commentors are confused - and some may be more shocked at the difference between what they have/are used to versus what others are used to having... great lessons to learn - which may take some additional research... but you definitely introduced a conversation. 😊
I love the construction techniques. The log Dachas seem to have been milled to uniform size. I also love the color variation with decorative accents. Superb! 👍✌
😊:) thank you
Fred Thorne - So, waddaya say Fred? How bout you and me get one of those dachas and set it up in Siberia where you and me can go hunting, fishing and other assorted manly things. Watcha think? 👍🏻🤔👍🏻😀🇷🇺🇺🇸👍🏻
Logica Redux I am so ready. Siberia here we come. If Agafia can do it, so can we. I'll saw wood and plant Taters, Maters, Corn, and Squash! Then get a caribou and a moose or two, couple of decks of cards, and a two way short wave radio with single-side band hitched to a big assed dipole antenna (10 meters) and let the world roll over!
Fred Thorne - Outstanding! And I will eat them taters And maters! I'm not sure Agafia will abide having us as neighbors though. That blessed lady would no doubt find us too profane. 😳
Fred Thorne - Wait!!! No internet???!! 🙀
I suppose they are intended for a retreat, with a communal kitchen, dining room and bath located elsewhere. Also, she said these are models and you can add extras for more $$.
Even absent kitchen bathroom and closets they're absolutely stunning gorgeous houses
I feel the warmth of the sauna from here in Missouri. Very relaxing and healthy. Thank you for sharing. I understand the dacha house more now. Valeria your voice is so soothing! Very good video.
I really enjoyed this video. It is so nice to know that summer homes there are what we used to have in North America. A place to just enjoy and. Be a part of nature. Reading many of the comments really reminded how insane our cottage life here has become. Here it is not about being in nature any more...3,000 ft, homes, movie room, 2- 4 bathrooms, 400 sq ft designer chef kitchens, 1 or more boats, 2 or more jet skis etc...all determined to bring the city to the country and destroy nature and displace the wildlife that called it home....wow....This video and the comments are a reality check on how nuts we have become here in North America. Yes there are still many little pockets of cabins and summer homes left that are not what I have decsribed...but they are fast disappearing as people are buying up anything on a postage stamp of water and smacking a minimum of a 2,000 sq ft home on it.
the closest thing we have in america to these dacha are sleeping cabins, often found by a lake. you play and swim and boat and fish and hike and cook-out and sing & roast marshmallows around the campfire. then retire to your cabin for the night. so much fun in those younger days!
God what a beautiful day you filmed this on! Thank you! I loved this!
Fantastic ! I can't believe you get such good quality and for so little money.
I think I will move to Russia, my wife is Russian so for me it would be easy.
Here in the UK I would expect to pay around £100000 ( about $ 125000 )
and they would not be as good as you have.
😊:)
Augustus Caesar YOU CAN EAT ORGANIC FOOD TOO THEY ARE POISONING US IN UK CANCER DEMENTIA MENTAL HEALTH
@Augustus Caesar, I was thinking the same thing, prices are similar here in Florida, maybe 20% less, the more I think about it, the more I think we will spend retirement in Russia or Belarus, the summer climate is wonderful compared to here, my wife is also Belarussian so it may also be easier for me than most, from my understanding land is very cheap too, my wife's parents have a 1 hectare lot (a little less than 3 acres) of land in the countryside about 40km from Minsk and paid only $800
Double that for New Zealand
This is more like hunting cabin, not for permanent living, for the weekend with barbeque.
Thank you for showing us.
In the Washington DC area $6300 would get you a simple uninsulated wood shed. It would be virtually unlivable in bad weather.
😊
yeah, same here in Florida, about a 2 square meter storage shed
Thomas Carney Umm.. you’re confusing the cost of the construction of a building regardless of location, with simply the location. I other words when you say you pay $6300 to live in DC, you are not so much paying so much for the actual rooms/home but for the convenience to the great attractions, opportunities, businesses etc in the area.
$6300 in D.C. would get you a parking space in a garage so you can live in your car.
Most people in Russia who have summer house (dacha) also try to have banya house on their property (sauna)because it is considered very healthy. Also these houses are also situated on a good size lots even for ordinary people so people can enjoy their passion of organic (mostly) gardening and enjoy growing fresh herbs berries and vegetables and, if climate allows, fruit too.
So where do Russians cook and go to the bathroom? No kitchen or bathrooms in any of those houses.
and no electrical outlets.
And no closets.
Maybe it’s like a motor home park or a KOA and there’s central cooking/ bath areas.
But they sure like they're steamrooms
On the streets like the American San Francisco.
Wow I think this might be my favorite video from...way to capture the mood!
Interesting. Thanks for showing! Some are very nice, but much too small to sell in Canada. Waterfront property is so valuable here now very few people have a summer cottage. Standard 3 bedroom year round houses are built now -- usually one storey bungalows --, even though it might be used only summers and weekends. Buildings like you are showing might be an extra on the property -- as a guest house "Bunkie" for sleeping quarters for extra guests. If a normal family can't afford it, they might rent it out by the week for a month in the summer to vacationing people for extra money to pay it off. We don't usually have a sauna room in our cottages, although someone of Finnish background might put one in special. A "hot tub" of very hot water outside is more popular, although it is expensive to heat the water for 4-6 people in the tub.
I just found your channel a few days ago. I absolutely love it.
thank you
The steep roofs are beautiful. I realize you must have a steep roof so snow will slide off.
Thank you for the tour of these docha’s. I’ve always wondered what they were like. Very nice!
This was nice surprise Valeria, very interesting.
😊:) thank you
Lovely homes! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
I really love the Russian styles wooden houses
I just started to watch your show 's. And I thank you for your time. I now have a different look at your home land. we're told a different story. Thanks!!!
5000 dollars is just for the kit, then you have to buy the land install plumbing and utilities and connect them to the city 's etc.
If the price doesn't include labor and it's just a DIY "kit" then it's not much cheaper than US prices. I think it includes labor, however. The video doesn't say.
Thanks for explainig.
And usually the wood & materials. The prices are just the kit.
Beautiful and colorful homes! Thank you for taking us on that tour!
I really can't tell you how good it is to hear your voice Valeria! It is a pleasure! WOW!! Those dachas are very nice! They look like excellent values for the money they are asking. I could see myself living in such a place. 😀 It almost tempts me to research the laws for foreign nationals owning property in Russia. 🤔
Hi Guy. Thank God this world has not collapsed yet.
Russian law in this sense is a fairly advanced. Here You will need ID card and visa. But our officials and the bureaucracy, that's quite another matter )) These guys can make to any person a nervous wreck over various trifles ((
ImixSpb - HaHaHa! Some things are the same everywhere, are they not? 🇷🇺😄🇺🇸 You are a ray of sunshine Igor! God bless you sir!
ImixSpb - BTW, do you know what Sergey is up to? Am I missing something? He lost his brother and now he is spending all this time and money hanging out alone in New York without his family. What is he looking for?
Yes. I would prefer to deal with a robot instead of the bureaucracy. Possible failure of the program would cause less trouble, anyway ))
It's hard to tell... It's possible the further opportunities to monetize of its vblog
How charming! Cute houses, love the different colors.
These houses are cute and small , like a miniature log cabin in the mountains😉
I didn't see any electrical outlets or plumbing so I'm thinking that's extra $$
Otherwise, very nice! I'd buy one for vacation time😁
This would make a nice summer cottage by the lake, plus I would add a simple kitchen and bathroom to finish it off.
Wow, I love these homes. Blue one is magnificent.
I love the balcony on the blue one, beautiful dachas Valerie!
A cabin like the last one, with a kitchen and bathroom, would cost $70,000 US (or more) without the land in the US. I think I'd have to redo the stairs though. I could see myself falling down those stairs pretty easily! lol These are beautiful though, especially for the price. And people think we have it so good in the US... pfffft Thanks so much for sharing with us!
😊:) thank you
I dont think you are being very realistic, these structures are more closely related to sheds in the US. As you say, there is no bathroom or kitchen facilities or central heating or air conditioning and they are probably poorly insulated if at all and with rudimentary electrical wiring if at all, plus shipping charges, I dont know if assembly is included.
What isn't realistic? For one, it's not a shed. It's nowhere near how sheds are constructed in the US. It's solid timber construction, like a log cabin. These are prefabbed kits assembled on your property (not included in the price) and the foundation plus upgrades like kitchen, bath, central air, and additional electrical components cost extra. The blue one valued at $10k USD is 1160 sq ft under roof. A log cabin kit in the US for that sq footage will start around $60k to $70k, depending on location. These kits do not include the land, appliances, plumbing fixtures, foundation, excavation/clearing of the land, labor, etc. So I stand by my OP, a cabin kit of 1100 +- sq ft with a kitchen and bath will run about $70k. Include the labor and items on a move-in ready build, double that, and that's still without the cost of the land factored in.
This is more like hunting cabin, not for permanent living, for the weekend with barbeque.
Ronni Buck
By the time you add a bathroom or two..all the plumbing, and electric, add a kitchen, (cabinetry, countertops,etc. And put in heat..you will pay the same..
Thank you for doing these videos , very informative . From AUSTRALIA.
These houses are wonderful. Especially for young people or elderly, anyone with a limited income. So good. I would live in it all the time.
Beautiful, I like the rustic, log design. I wish I had a sauna. I have a full bathroom instead.
Lol, that sounded different than I meant it. I understand how your bathrooms & toilets are a bit different than in US. I realize you all have both. A sauna is just so wonderful in a cold climate.
Those are definitely not American dollars. You could get an unfinished Home Depot shack for those dollars.
How about thinking bevor saying something?! those are prises in us dollars.its just what u can get for it russia.
They are lovely homes. I can't believe that you can buy a home for $5 grand. Oh my god. You can't buy a car for $5000 dollars in the US, let alone a full on house. Wow. I am jealous.
They are as charming as the nested Russian dolls. And if I could buy one, I would definitely buy some nested Russian dolls to make it homey. I don't need more than 600 square feet of living space.
I didn't see any electrical outlets . I wonder how many they have .
Hell, I didn't even notice that! I was bemused by the complete lack of plumbing. The only electrics I see are the ceiling fixtures.
@@gentillydanny I wondered how well insulated they're too... The last one has a fireplace in a small room in the front... Widows in the upstairs bedroom doors and such a dinky balcony all you can do is stand on it... BUT they're interesting and might do well in a warmer climate where you can cook and use an outhouse and have a stream or outdoor well... ALL are odd designs, as even she says about the staircases, but at leas they're doable in that way

The houses you see in this video are demos. You choose the house you want to buy. Then it will be built on your land. Electrics, plumbing and more are installed during the construction process in the places that you specify, where you really need it. In addition, these house samples are not the final option. You can make the changes you need, and they will build in a single style what you want.
very cute houses and informative,i love going to real estate open houses of new homes and also re - sale of older homes
Thank you for sharing this video. The prices are very cheap. I wish they sold something like that here for $10,000. That would make a nice hunting cabin in the Mountains for deer and elk season.
😊:)
would make a nice home for an american family
Cаша Романов Nice looking house for summer only. It would not pass the housing codes set by the US government for year round housing. Would definitely have to add air conditioning for summer use. Wood house, I would cook like a potato in the oven.
Эта цена только за дом. Доставка, сборка за отдельную плату. Дом за 10 000 в итоге будет стоить 20 000.
There's one of those little uninsulated "cabins" for sale locally here in Nebraska. You can fit them on a flat bed...they want $10k for that
Thank you for the lovely tour of the Dacha houses .
I LOVE these!!! Thank you!!! Must get one!!!!
I’m assuming these are vacation or weekend houses. They look very well built, I like all the wood. They are all very cute homes, but what do you do for kitchens and bathrooms? In the US these would be what we call tiny houses, but they have kitchens & bathrooms. Thank you for sharing this...I appreciate being able to see about other cultures etc.
In rural area of Alaska these are houses where people live year round ( small houses or tiny houses ) But to most people they are cabins.. used for recreation where people cook outside and have an outdoor bathroom or community building for laundry and showers etc... The one shown are BASIC MODELS... as she says
Very interesting video, thanks!
Wow, those are so neat. I agree, the round wood houses attract me more also.
Absolutely gorgeous wooden houses. I would definitely pay extra for basic plumbing, but I have thought for a while that the US has a problem... we require by law that our houses be so complex that the price becomes unattainable. And the way costs are cut? Cheap shitty building material that looks terrible. I have always wanted to live in a beautiful wooden house. The US needs to learn a few things from these little houses!
You will get tired of wood covering every wall, floor and ceiling very soon, if you live in such house permanently. These are just dachas - weekend/summer houses, so they will do for a while, but even then some people just avoid all this abundance of yellow color. For me it feels like I live in a beehive.
You can't live in these houses, they are summer homes. If you wanted to live in them full time, you'd have all the same rules and laws that you have to have in the US. Also in the US, you can buy the same thing except we call them cabins and they are sold in kits and just like in Russia, you have to get the land, permits, utilities etc. You don't have to tear down one country to compliment another.
Hi there Valeria! The wood is beautiful. What i wouldnt give to have as sauna in my house. Thanks for video k😘
The video is confusing. Are they Dachas, Houses or Banas, and what is Bana? What is dacha? I did not get it. Are they for living, or for other goals?
"Banya" stands for Sauna (with extra room for relaxation). Dacha is a vacation (summer) cottage. There are no houses for permanent year-long living in this video.
Surprisingly, like civilized people, but you can not distinguish a bath from a garden house, a bath Where the stove and shelves are washed and steamed, and even stray linen.. A well presented house for a garden plot Is a shop on the street , you offer options, you choose, and the place yourself are designing in the house to make the toilet and on the street, I repeat, this is a summer house for vacation, and next nebolshoy land for greenhouses, berries, trees. On the plot, everyone has a house and a bath......
What pretty little homes. The wood is beautiful. I wish we could get something like this in the USA.
These are very nice places and the price is very reasonable ! compared to the prices they would charge here in Canada. Cheers Valeria.
😊:) thank you
but in Canada u have so much land and ur population is very less...then why expensive???
Thank you for showing us these homes. Wow! You make me feel like I have a friend in Russia!!!!🤗
I could live in one of those forever :)
FloFly Berlin believe me you won't event last for a day lol
@@Interestingworld4567 I'd probably get mauled to death by a bear on my first trip to the outhouse. lol
@@tellthetruthna8523 🤣😂🤣
Lovely, with a bathroom and a kitchen added ... which a person could do pretty easily I think :) so well worth the money.
What are the typical costs for the land to build on? Are there taxes? I would love to buy!
Gorbachev wrote a law where every Russian citizen was entitled to one acre of land. They could live there for as long as they liked with no building codes and they could pass it along to their children but they couldn't sell it. These parcels of land are called dachas. But the idea of dacha is much older than this. Dr Zhivago hid in his dacha from his enemies, this is because dachas have no legal address. There are a lot of really great things about dacha culture, it is such a free life and at the height of the Soviet era, the dachas were growing 90% of Russia's food! In that day, if you had a dacha, you ate and if you didn't then you might have starved!
Guineith Isaacs That’s awesome! id love to own a dacha and a banya for my retirement abroad.
@@MrReichard wow free land.... in india i paid 20million rupees for 2000sqaure foot land.... it will be even more expensive in cities.
I could listen to your voice for hours. Aloha from the island of Kauai
Wow I can't believe the blue house for $10,000. That's a lot of house.
Finally, one of your ancient videos has presented itself to me. 😊
…..i have the money, im on my way X
closets, cabinets, sinks, toilets, outlets, ceiling fans, are considered extras you would have to pay for, cos do not see any thanks!
Beautiful
Even if you get that extra, it still wouldn't cost a lot.. In Russia you don't need $10,000 to install kitchen and bathrooms. It way cheaper than that. Plus, in dachas the 🚽 are outside, it's an extra tiny bathroom cabin, in the ground they make a large 🕳️ , put the cabin on top of it, and go to the bathroom. Some Dachas are not made for a living, you go there to rest for a few days and work on the garden and go back to the city. Plus most of those are saunas and it's not your typical 🏠.
I'm amazed that normal people can afford these. Here in Germany people are struggling to afford a first home, no chance of a Dacha! Glad you're doing well, you have a lot of space for these things in your beautiful country :-)
The prices are more than fair. I can't get punched in the face for $10,000 here! *UK*
Plenty of people here in America would punch you for free.
@@huskyfaninmass1042 lol.... same in Pakistan
Husky Fan in Mass Huh ! 🤪💩
Charming homes!
Love the different colors, and the sizes of them...
Was surprised to see saunas in them. That is a tradition in Russia ?
I'm sure it would feel wonderful to warm up in on a cold dark winter night.
Greetings from Michigan
Houses with saunas are sauna houses intended only for taking saunas. She said "Banya" - means sauna
So a dacha house must be a sauna and resting room.
In the US you might get a shed for $5-10 thousand. Made with flat particle board wood outside shell and 2 basic windows.
NOTHING LIKE WHAT IS SHOWN! You could put a few of these together and make a beautiful home!
Hi Valeria. My name is Celia (South Africa) LUV RUSSIA! Thanks for your program! Just want to ask if I may,where is the kitchen and bathroom in these lovely homes? Does one put it in later? Enjoy spring, its now autum in South Africa. One day I want to visit Russia!
Thank you Cecilia. It's hard to answer in a few sentences, I'll soon make a video to answer your question
Out Houses and Saunas
Thank you for the tour. Those are very cute. I'm guessing they spend bad winter days are where you sit on the benches
No kitchens ? No plumbing?
Thanks for being with India in every ups and downs.Respect and love from India. NAMASTE
The restroom and the kitchens the most important things they don't have?
These homes are lovely and appear to be of quality workmanship and materials ...
Forget the sauna. I'd rather have a kitchen and bathroom.
saunas are an important part of Russian culture.
You might change your mind when you're freezing your ass off.
@@ramona4913.. When you get your ass into a sauna you become healthier and more fit, saunas clean your pores and that gets rid of a lot of toxins in your water ( flouride ) and in your food ( the GMOs courtesy of Monsanto / Monsatan ) after the sauna put on your extra thick bathrobe and go sit by the fireplace ..
She started this video not with a real dacha house, but with secondary detached structures: saunas (banyas). And even in main buildings - dachas or city flats/condos - a kitchen may come with a sink and oven installed only, usually there are no cabinets, as people buy and install these themselves along with buying all other appliances.
Very nice! Good built little houses, sturdy and charmy; moreover, also cheap
So far no kitchen or bathrooms?
No closets, outlets, toilet, shower, kitchen ???? How are you going to get a bed and dresser up those stairs?? But the log walls in the last one are varnished and set SO BEAUTIFULLY....Ecellent craftmanship...I also like the 6 panel doors....lovely !!!!
No kitchens or bathrooms? So, sort of a permanent roomy tent??
I could live quite comfortably in those last two houses. Thank you.
Yet here in the US they want $70,000 for a tiny house half that size
Typical Russian person makes 200 to 250 a month !
Half the size of the first house would be about 125 square feet; you could definitely do better than that for $70K. You won't get much for $70K in the US but even tiny houses typically include kitchens and bathrooms. The basic structure shown in dacha house #1 would probably sell for about $25 - 35K (labor included) in the US depending on the wood and materials used.
@@y.peffle2802 250 dollars??
vaibhav True. $250 is slightly above the average monthly salary in Russia.
i love the intro song as well as your video! thanks
