Prepare to be amazed.

If your idea of a manufactured home is a shoe box-shaped trailer with aluminum siding, crammed into a small “park” with limited yard space and even less privacy, honey, you are so last century!

Manufactured homes—which can also include modular homes—today might be partly fabricated off-site, but many are sizable, stylish, and located on vast tracts of land. (Made without wheels, these homes can be placed right on foundations.)

Buyers can generally score a manufactured home at a lower cost than one built on site, and it goes up in a fraction of the time it would take to construct a traditional home.

“They are built on solid-steel frames, giving them a sturdiness that belies the stereotype of yesteryear,” says Chase Daugherty, vice president of Express Homes, a manufactured home building company.

The five luxury manufactured homes that we’ve found for sale right now are located throughout the country, from Colorado to New Hampshire to Alabama, and they come with acres of land. Best of all, they are all priced below $525,000.

Sure, they look fine on the outside, but you have to take a look inside to appreciate their amazing attributes.

Scroll down to see all five of these marvelous manufactured homes.

25 Looking Glass Ln, Weare, NH

Price: $425,000
Built-in bliss: This impressive three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home comes with many luxuries!

The kitchen has lovely corner cabinets, smart appliances, a peninsula with seating, and elegant finishes, and the sunroom connects to the spacious garage with a loft. There’s a front porch and a back deck, and the landscaping features perennials.

The 1.8-acre wooded lot includes an above-ground pool, hot tub, full RV hookup with power and septic, and a pond with a waterfall ready for koi.

The lot borders 50 acres of conservation land, and there’s a trailhead right off the backyard. The location seems remote and rustic, yet Weare is only about 15 miles from Concord.
