Your St. Johns County property holds untapped potential. Whether you need a private sanctuary for aging parents, space for adult children returning home, or a reliable $20,000-$40,000 yearly income stream, Goshen Tiny Homes creates custom ADU solutions that work. Unlike prefab alternatives that cut corners and leave you disappointed, we build premium accessory dwelling units tailored to your exact needs-complete living spaces that enhance your property value while solving real-life challenges.
Every Goshen Tiny Home begins with understanding your unique situation. Maybe your mother needs her independence but you want her close. Perhaps your adult son needs affordable housing while saving for his own place. Or you’re looking at empty backyard space and seeing untapped rental income potential. We are helping St. Johns County families navigate these exact decisions, creating dual-purpose ADUs that can transition from family housing to income property as your needs evolve.
Our St. Johns County ADU experts handle everything from initial design concepts to final walkthrough, ensuring your backyard cottage, granny flat, or rental unit exceeds expectations. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions because your family isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why every Goshen Tiny Home model is custom-designed, hand-crafted, and built to last generations. Whether you choose a cozy 400 sq ft studio for rental income or a spacious 700 sq ft two-bedroom for multi-generational living, we create spaces that feel like home, not compromises.
We build accessory dwelling units (ADUs) — perfect for aging parents, adult children, generate rental income, or expand your housing options.
Our seamless process, from start to finish, ensures your ADU is perfectly tailored to your needs.
A 2-story (ADU) is a secondary housing structure, often built on the same property as a primary residence, featuring two levels of living space, perfect for in-law suites, guest houses, or rental units.
Enhance your poolside experience with our stylish pool houses, providing convenient amenities for changing, a mini kitchenette, or a cozy lounge area.
Upgrade your property with premium attached ADUs or additions, ideal for creating additional space for purposes such as an office, guest room, or a cozy retreat.
Expert ADU Builders Who’ve Mastered Northeast Florida Zoning Requirements
St. Johns County ADU regulations can feel overwhelming-but that’s exactly why homeowners choose Goshen Tiny Homes. While other builders get lost in the bureaucracy, we’ve spent years decoding the county’s zoning requirements, setback rules, permit processes, and building codes. The St. Johns County Growth Management Department has specific requirements that aren’t always clearly communicated, but we know them inside and out. While others struggle with the square footage limits, residential district restrictions, and hurricane-resistant construction standards, we’ve successfully built dozens of ADUs throughout Northeast Florida.
Our expertise means your project moves smoothly from concept to completion, with full code compliance and zero surprises. We know exactly which residential districts allow ADUs, how to maximize your allowable square footage, and how to position your unit for optimal setbacks while preserving your outdoor living space. We understand the architectural requirements that ensure your ADU complements your primary residence while meeting all safety standards. This isn’t just about following rules-it’s about leveraging our deep knowledge to create the best possible outcome for your property.
When you work with Goshen Tiny Homes, you’re not just hiring builders-you’re partnering with St. Johns County ADU specialists who handle every permit, every inspection, and every regulatory requirement. We transform bureaucratic challenges into beautiful, functional tiny homes that generate income or house loved ones. Our proven track record with local building departments means faster approvals, fewer delays, and a stress-free building experience. Let us turn St. Johns County’s complex regulations into your competitive advantage. For more detailed information on local zoning, refer to the St. Johns County Land Development Code.
Goshen Tiny Homes doesn’t do cookie-cutter. Every St. Johns County ADU we build is custom-designed for your specific property, lifestyle, and goals. While others push prefab kits that look out of place and wear out quickly, we create architectural gems that enhance your property’s character. Our hurricane-resistant construction doesn’t just meet Florida building codes-it exceeds them, ensuring your investment stands strong through every storm season. We use premium materials, superior craftsmanship, and thoughtful design to create ADUs that maintain their beauty and value for decades.
Our custom approach means your ADU works exactly how you need it to. Hosting aging parents? We’ll design barrier-free layouts with wider doorways, walk-in showers, and plenty of natural light. Creating rental income? We’ll optimize for privacy, separate entrances, and amenities that command premium rates. Our ADU services include floor plans-whether 400, 500, 600, or 700 square feet-that maximize every inch through intelligent design. High ceilings create spacious feel, built-in storage eliminates clutter, and multi-functional spaces adapt to changing needs. From coastal designs for beach properties to garage conversions that preserve your home’s curb appeal, we create secondary dwellings that feel like luxury small homes, not afterthoughts.
Each Goshen build features premium finishes you’d expect in high-end construction: solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, energy-efficient appliances, impact windows, and modern fixtures. We incorporate smart home technology, premium insulation for Florida’s climate, and durable materials that minimize maintenance. Whether you’re building a pool house for guests, an in-law suite for family, or an income-producing cottage, we deliver spaces that impress residents and stand the test of time. Our projects are recognized for their quality by the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce. See examples of our craftsmanship in our ADU Gallery.

Our proven process means you’ll know exactly what to expect at every stage, from initial design through move-in day.
Our comprehensive approach includes site evaluation, custom design development, permitting assistance, construction management, and final walkthrough-all with consistent communication and no hidden fees.
