Yurt sizes.....16 vs 20 ft or?

[Sasquatch]

Hello,

I am in the market for a yurt but have some questions to ask and decisions to make. I am chosing to put this in the building instead of buying section as I think there is simply going to be a lot of building involved

Anyway i own land up in the mountains by a ski area in Washington state and i am looking to put something livable up there and quit the rat race.

I have several design ideas as far as what to build, whether it be a 10x20 cabin with a large loft, a 12x16 or 14x14 A-frame cabin or a yurt. I have been going back and forth on the A frame vs yurt for quite some time...

My yurt choices are either a 16 foot pacific or a 20 foot pacific.... My county rules yurts as tents/membrane structures and are subject to a rule 400 square foot or more needs a permit versus a building like a cabin/tiny house is limited to 200square foot with out a permit, so the yurt is the natural choice for most bang for the buck.

Ive had very little luck finding any good images of a 16 foot yurt with a well laid out interior. The 20 footer is what i WANT but its a lot of money for me once platform and everything else is factored in so the 16 footer seems like a more manageable size once its all said and done.

I plan on selling my sailboat to finance this endeavor, but would really love to hear the 16 footer versus 20 footer argument from real yurt people.

Where my land is at, it tends to rain a TON but i have had over 4 feet of snow at one time so i want something tough, with a warranty which is why im pretty set on

Pacific yurts

as I can just hop in my truck and run down to Oregon and pick it up and pay less taxes than anything in WA and get that 15 year warranty on the roof

Id love to see any pictures of a 16 footer you have. My idea is to put a queen sized bed in there and essential furniture like a dresser table/desk etc and am thinking perhaps a large loft bed might be best? I have a few other small buildings and a small (like 14x8 sqr ft) cabin already on property so not everything is going to get crammed inti a small space but I already live in a 380sqr ft house, so its not much for me to downsize

16 seems small but I think it may work.... I know 20 foot will but that realistically is just outside my budget a hair or two

Id love to hear input!
