Hunting Cabins in Virginia — Your Base Camp, Built Right
A tent in November isn’t rugged. It’s just cold.
Why Virginia Hunters Are Building Prefab Cabins
Permanent base camp on your hunting lease. Climate-controlled gear storage. Comfortable sleeping quarters for early-morning hunts.
Hunting Cabin Configurations
Insulated & Heated
Spray foam insulation and propane heater or wood stove ready. Comfortable in Virginia’s coldest deer season mornings.
Secure Gear Storage
Steel security doors, reinforced locks, and weapon storage solutions. Your gear stays safe year-round.
Sleeping Quarters
Loft sleeping for 2-4 hunters. 8-foot walls provide proper loft clearance with sitting headroom.

160 sq ft
A 160 sq ft lofted cabin sleeping 1-2 hunters. Wood stove ready, gear storage, off-grid capable. Shell from $4,200.
12x20
240 sq ft
Most popular at 240 sq ft — sleeps 3-4 in loft, wood stove, kitchenette, and gear partition. Shell from $6,000.

Pro tip: Add a covered porch to your hunting cabin for gear staging and boot removal — it keeps mud and scent out of your sleeping area and doubles as a rain shelter.
Richmond Permits & Codes
Virginia exempts one-story detached structures under 256 square feet from building permits — that’s why the 12×20 is the most popular shed in the state.
Important: “Permit-exempt” doesn’t mean “regulation-free.”
- ✓ Zoning permit — Required in virtually every Virginia jurisdiction regardless of size
- ✓ Electrical permit — Mandatory if you run any wiring to the structure
- ✓ Setback rules — Distance from property lines varies by locality
Structures under 256 square feet are exempt from building permits, but a zoning permit is still required. Setbacks are typically 3–5 feet on the side and rear in urban districts, though this varies widely. For specifics on your lot, reach out to City of Richmond Dept. of Planning & Development Review ((804) 410-5052).
Urban lots are often narrow, and historic district overlay zones add restrictions. Many areas are R-6 or R-48 zoned.
