You may have come across the term DADU recently. It stands for Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit—essentially, a small, standalone home that shares the same property as your main house (or the one you plan to build in the future). Think of it as a flexible extension of your living space: a guest retreat, a private office, or a comfortable spot to enjoy weekends away before your full mountain retreat is ready.
Why People Love DADUs
DADUs are becoming popular for a reason—they’re practical, flexible, and a smart way to make the most of your property. They give you the chance to enjoy your land now, without having to commit to building your full “forever home” right away. A DADU can be:
- Flexible: Perfect for guests, in-laws, weekend getaways, or even a home office with mountain views.
- Practical: Smaller build, smaller price tag, and faster turnaround.
- Versatile: Today it’s a coffee-sipping retreat, tomorrow it’s extra space for family—or even a rental for additional income.
- Future-Friendly: When you’re ready to build your full-time home, your DADU sticks around as the ultimate guest house.
