I’m on paternity leave right now with my first kid. I worked a little bit before taking the leave and that was all the time I needed to determine that having a separate “office” is a must. We’re moving away from the Bay Area to be closer to family, and I’m seriously thinking about purchasing a cheap ($40-$60k) hut/cottage with a pretty view about ten minutes away from wherever home ends up being. I’ll set up a desk, couch, espresso machine, and treat that as “work”.

Must be very affordable real estate where you live. There’s also something like this for a backyard office https://www.costco.com/installed-sheds-by-studio-shed---bore...
That's a local-only webpage for your ZIP code.

We haven’t moved yet but are thinking about rural North Carolina. Haven’t looked at prices for small plots of land, so maybe I’m off a bit.

I’ve considered an office shed too, but I’m a bit worried that’s still a little too close haha.

$24k! Would that increase the real estate value?

I pay $400/mo (all inclusive /w internet) for my little office. That would take me 5 years to recoup at my current rate.

I got my company to pay for it though so its technically free.
