Horizon IV 2-Bedroom, 2-Bath 1,327 Square Foot Modular Home

Premier Homes of the Carolinas has the Horizon II available to tour. It is larger than the plan we are looking at, the Horizon IV.

Horizon IV is the smallest, most affordable modular home, with 1,327 square feet. It is listed as 3+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. But, it can be built as a two bedroom for even less. It is 27+ feet wide (two 13+ feet sections) and 48-feet long.

It’s almost the same looks as the one they have to tour. I mocked up this picture from the house we toured.

The packet Premier Homes gave us listed the Heartland IV at $232,582. With a porch, it is $241,022.  It also says average build time only takes 7 months from the time your financing is approved, which is faster than when we were looking a few years ago.

When we toured the model, we asked for a quote with no options at all added, moved to our land and assembled. Other websites gave a price of “High $100s,” likely just the house.

The only option we asked for is solid flooring throughout, no carpeting.

They got the information back to us right away.

It looks like the standard price includes Resolve Vinyl Plank flooring in the Living Room, Foyer, Kitchen, Dining Room, Hall, Baths and Utility room. The bedrooms get carpet. There is no line item price, but it says “Floor Covering – Resolve ILO carpet per SF 398.00.” I think the price they gave us includes this option.

Floor Insulation is not included.

There is a $1000 contingency fee included. The quote lists freight and modular carrier use fee for the two modular sections.

These items are on the list, with no line item prices. Are they included in the total price?

Total Price for Heartland IV on Crawlspace: $236,404.

What is not included for sure is schedule the septic, driveway and grading. Interesting, they included grading for a cranepad.

This is still bigger and more money than we are hoping to spend. But it is a possibility. The next step is a site visit with a grader to get a price for grading. We are going to hold off to see if we can find something maybe smaller. Something that maybe doesn’t need a crane to put it together.
