A luxury home doesn\u2019t always necessarily mean thousands of square footage, towering great rooms and gilded toilets. Take these homes for example: to begin building one of these epic houses, all you need is $2,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

That $2,000 will buy you a shipping container. What you do with that shipping container\u2026 well, that\u2019s completely up to you. Some creative people have found a way to transform this rudimentary \u201croom\u201d with metal siding into luxury housing that blows us away. These homes are epic.<\/span><\/p>\n
