For those keen to move out of the capital, finding the right home in the country can involve more than the right number of bedrooms and close proximity to good schools, such as bespoke tree houses.
With a plan to escape from the rat race, many buyers are seeking out properties that offer a business angle. If the set up offers the chance to build bespoke tree houses or luxury garden cabins, there is scope to earn an income from short term lets.
Escape to a Rural Garden Retreat
For decades, holidaymakers have enjoyed spending time in beautiful timber lodges. These buildings provide a cosy escape from the ski slopes or an adventurous base for an African safari. In recent years, glamping in luxury eco pods and lodges has become a popular weekend break in the UK.
So, if you have sufficient space to construct a desirable sanctuary in your garden, it could be an attractive proposition for others that want a secluded stay in the country.
It has never been easier to promote short-term lets online and interesting properties. You could target professional couples who wish to relax and recharge in luxurious tree houses or Scandi-style retreats with a sauna. With attention to detail, it is possible to create a highly desirable (and Instagram-able!) weekend let.
Alternatively, add rope bridges, a slide and a play house to your wooden cabin and your holiday let could provide the ideal family retreat.
It is this opportunity to work from home and generate an income that is motivating buyers to seek a property with sufficient land for luxury garden buildings.

Tips for Buying a Property with a Plot for Garden Building Rentals
- Consider space for guest parking, as well as the garden building. This could be next to the cabin or at the front of your property.
- How close is the nearest railway station with a line from London? – For many, the option to leave the car behind will be tempting.
- How would guest access to the garden building? Ideally, you will want to minimise the disruption to your family life.
- If you are won over by the stunning view, find out whether there are any plans to build on neighbouring land. You want to avoid your project being affected by a new housing development.
- How does the area fair for independent shops, cosy country pubs, scenic walks and local places to visit? Good local amenities will help you promote your business.
