Houses
Compare the six homes you can build on your plot, from the Small House to Rosecrown Castle.
A house is a home you build on your plot. You fill it with furniture, and it gives you House Storage for your extra items. There are six homes to choose from, and you can own more than one. The quest A Place of Your Own points new players to the Small House.

How to Get a House
Open the sign
Walk up to the sign on your plot and press E. Open the Houses tab.
Choose a home
Pick any home you do not own yet. You can build them in any order.
Pay for it
Pay with gold and materials, or with crystals alone.
Wait for it to build
Bigger homes take time to build. Your current home stays usable the whole time. Your builder works on one upgrade at a time, shared between houses and garden upgrades. In a hurry? Press Finish now to skip the time left for crystals (about 1 crystal per minute, with a minimum of 9 crystals).
Press Finish
When the timer ends, return to the sign and press Finish. The new home becomes your active home.
Moving Boxes
The Small House, Mid-Sized House, and Grand House come with moving boxes already placed inside. Walk up to a box and press E to unpack it. The furniture goes into your bag, so keep a free slot. If you already had one of the starting pieces, you get yours back instead of a second copy. The Moving Day achievement rewards you for unpacking every box in one home. See Achievements.
Moving Day
When you buy or finish a home while your current home has furniture in it, the game asks whether to bring your furniture along. Choose Bring It to move it, or Leave It to keep it in your old house.
- A new home: Bring It packs your furniture into the new home’s moving boxes.
- A home you already own: Bring It packs all of it into one small moving box, placed on a free tile in the home you move into. If there is no free tile, the furniture stays where it was.
Which House Should I Get?
Bigger homes have more storage, and House Storage uses the size of the biggest home you own.
- Small House: the cheapest home at 500 gold, and it is ready instantly. It has 12 storage slots.
- Mid-Sized House: 24 storage slots for 5,000 gold, plus stone and copper from mining and dewcap from foraging.
- Grand House: 48 storage slots for 50,000 gold, and the most furniture in its starting boxes.
- Lantern Hollow Manor: 72 storage slots for 150,000 gold, a spooky manor with a turret and a lantern-lit porch. It has no starting furniture.
- Elderbough: 84 storage slots for 230,000 gold, a cottage built around a giant oak. It has no starting furniture.
- Rosecrown Castle: 96 storage slots for 500,000 gold. It has no starting furniture.
Cellars
Lantern Hollow Manor, Elderbough and Rosecrown Castle each have a cellar: a second room for furniture, reached by walking down a stairwell in the corner of the house. See each house page for details.
Finishes
Each home can get a new floor and roof. Walk up to the sign on your plot, press E, and open the Renovate tab in Plot Upgrades. Pick a material and a color for the floor or the roof. Finishes cost gold, and you can only renovate the home you live in. Each color is bought on its own. Going back to the Original look is free, and so is switching to a finish you already own.
| Material | Surface | Colors | Base Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood Planks | Floor | Birch, Pine, Oak, Cherry, Walnut | 25,000 gold |
| Flagstone | Floor | Pale, Ash, River, Brown, Dark | 40,000 gold |
| Brick | Floor | Terracotta, Red, Brown, Grey, Charcoal | 50,000 gold |
| Stone Tiles | Floor | Limestone, Greige, Granite, Taupe, Slate | 60,000 gold |
| Marble | Floor | White, Dove, Grey, Brown, Black | 120,000 gold |
| Wood Shingles | Roof | Honey, Cedar, Oak, Walnut, Weathered | 30,000 gold |
| Slate | Roof | Pale, Storm, Blue, Graphite, Charcoal | 45,000 gold |
| Clay Tiles | Roof | Terracotta, Red, Burgundy, Brown, Umber | 60,000 gold |
A finish costs its base price times the house’s multiplier:
| House | Multiplier | Floor Finishes | Roof Finishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small House | 1x | 25,000 to 120,000 gold | 30,000 to 60,000 gold |
| Mid-Sized House | 2x | 50,000 to 240,000 gold | 60,000 to 120,000 gold |
| Grand House | 4x | 100,000 to 480,000 gold | 120,000 to 240,000 gold |
| Lantern Hollow Manor | 6x | 150,000 to 720,000 gold | 180,000 to 360,000 gold |
| Elderbough | 7x | 175,000 to 840,000 gold | 210,000 to 420,000 gold |
| Rosecrown Castle | 8x | 200,000 to 960,000 gold | 240,000 to 480,000 gold |
Switching Homes
You can own several homes and switch between them at the sign on your plot. Each home keeps its own furniture. Switching to a home you already own asks the same Moving Day question, so your furniture only comes along if you choose Bring It.
