If you are going to do a kit, may I suggest a size that could be assembled on various sized (decent size) flatbed trailers for those wanting to beat the tax man.
The structure ("kit") will ship on a bumper-pull trailer.
The kit will will be 8 basic parts:
1) Four columns pre-mortised for the beams (columns will be 11" x 11" x 10 feet tall (12' tall for and extra $500)
2) Two 6"x19" beams (blind tenoned). 20' long with 8" tenons on each end.
3) Two 6"x19" beams (2' pass-thru tenoned). 24' long total.
Everything is pre-finished SYP.
Structural loading has about a 2,000% safety factor.
Walls will be SIPS (made to order as an upgrade)... OR stick build your own.
Trusses from 84 Lumber etc. are the responsibility of the owner/installer... OR custom trusses/roofing as an add-on.
The only reason I put up the Fakebook pic grab is so folks can kinda sorta see what our CGI guy will eventually render from a basic structural shell I am building now. Sorry if that confused anyone.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
At that price even I could afford that and that size space would be ideal.
Too many windows for me though, I’d feel too vulnerable at night tho I do appreciate that walls are a false security.

You will make BANK whenever this comes to fruition.
It will sell as a kit... i.e. forklift load on your trailer and YOU BUILD IT.
Just curious is there is a market.
A couple suggestions: That bed is going to turn off a lot of buyers. For regular use, the bed needs to be accessible from both sides. That's too hard to make and you have to climb over your bed partner to get out. It's too inconvenient for full time use. The bed in our camp trailer is like that and it's a pain. We wouldn't buy it for just that reason. Make the upstairs a viable option for the main bed. The lower floor makes a better office , guest bed, or something.

Outstanding Cash! I'd up it to 450-500 SF (as others have noted, rectangular more friendly). The perfect addition to your Tiny House is a 30x60 pole barn and call it Nirvana.
Seems like an extremely niche market. Poor folks would just convert a prebuilt shed, rich folks would just buy a prebuilt tiny house. Most tiny house people are not the do it yourself type.

Add on an optional large outside shed roof covered porch space that could be turned into a three season space or screened if someone wanted. Would be a great cabin at that point and a nice house for a single guy (well, with a shop/garage)

Where's the reloading bench, gun safe, powder/primer magazine, etc.???? Does it come with a workshop, a twin post lift, and a couple of acres to store projects in progress?
Growing up, I lived in places which would make that look like the lap of luxury, so yeah, I could live in it. My house is bigger (24x 44, including the 8x24 addition) but could be described as rustic. Such a build could be constructed of foam core panels, blocks, or could be built as a timber frame with whatever infill is desired; short logs, lightweight frame, whatever. Most people today, can't fit their ego into a small house; let alone their possessions. GD

I’m referring to a cabin that can be assembled onto say a 16’x7’ trailer and live there on the trailer so it is not assessed property tax wise.
In other words, trailer sized cabin kits for a few standard sized flatbeds
