Introducing The Ellie: A Small Modular Home by Movable Roots with Big Possibilities

At Movable Roots, we believe great homes don’t have to be large to be meaningful.

They just need to be thoughtfully designed, well built, and built with purpose.That’s exactly what inspired The Ellie — one of our most compact modular homes, designed to bring high-quality construction and intentional living into a smaller footprint.

And now, for the first time, we have an Ellie available for purchase.

If you have the land, we have the home.

A Thoughtfully Designed Modular ADU

The Ellie ADU offers 432 square feet of well-planned living space with:

• 1 Bedroom

• 1 Bathroom

• Full kitchen and living area

• Modern finishes and efficient design

Despite its smaller size, the Ellie lives much larger than its square footage thanks to a layout that prioritizes comfort and functionality.

Inspired by the Black Prong Cabin, this home carries the same design principles that guide all of our builds: simple, durable, and intentionally crafted.

Perfect for Your Property

The Ellie was designed with flexibility in mind. It can serve a wide range of uses depending on your property and needs, including:

• Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)

• Backyard cottage

• Guest house or granny flat

• Pool house

• Rental opportunity for supplemental income

For many homeowners, adding a small modular home like the Ellie is a practical way to create additional living space without the complexity of a full custom build.

If you already have the property, the Ellie could be the perfect fit.

Built the Movable Roots Way

At Movable Roots, we often talk about being ROOTED.

Rooted in who we are.

Rooted in how we build.

Rooted in how we serve our clients.

Our homes reflect that commitment.

Family-driven.

Craftsmanship-led.

Built with integrity.

Committed to every client journey.

The Ellie may be one of our smallest homes, but it represents the same attention to detail and construction standards that go into every Movable Roots build.

You Have the Land. We Have the Home.

Many people reach out to us because they already have a property but aren’t sure where to start when it comes to adding a small home.

That’s where the Ellie comes in.

With a completed Ellie available, the process can move much faster than starting a custom design from scratch.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a small home to your property, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

You have the land.

We have the home.
