Yurts are a great option for Maine, providing an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional homes. Their unique design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making them perfect for those seeking flexibility or looking for a temporary residence. With the state’s growing interest in sustainable living, yurts align well with eco-conscious values, offering a smaller carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact. Additionally, they can serve as a unique vacation rental or guest accommodation, capitalizing on Maine’s burgeoning tourism industry.

The Out Factory offers a range of yurts in Maine, with prices typically ranging from $9,000 to $22,000. The average cost of a yurt varies depending on the size and features. Smaller 20ft yurts start around $10,000-$12,000, while larger 32ft models with added features can reach $21,000-$23,000. These prices usually exclude the platform, delivery, and installation.

Yurts are well-suited to Maine’s climate, which experiences cold winters and mild summers. Constructed with a sturdy wooden frame and insulated fabric walls, yurts can maintain warmth during chilly months, especially when equipped with a heating source like a wood stove. In summer, the circular design promotes natural ventilation, helping to keep the interior cool and comfortable. Properly maintained, these structures can withstand Maine’s varied weather conditions, offering a cozy and efficient living space year-round.

Yurt setup in Maine generally takes 2-3 days, depending on size and site preparation. This includes platform construction (if needed), frame assembly, wall installation, and roof and dome setup. Weather conditions and additional interior work may extend this timeline.
