Some people ask why we’re so proud of our entry-level line-up, and that’s easy to answer. Typically, you’ll find that high-volume manufacturers focus on keeping prices low and that boutique builders, producing a handful of homes each year, come at a much higher cost. Rover has worked hard to find the balance between the two.
Our entry-level line-up does not compromise on construction; it simply dials back on detail that not everyone requires, leaving you with a home that’s built well, lasts a long time, and that you can afford.
The specifications below are typical of homes in the Cobblestone Line. Some features may vary by model, layout, certification and electrical requirements.

What The Cobblestone Line Leaves Out
To keep the line affordable, Cobblestone homes generally do not include the upgraded finish features found in our Ironstone Line, such as mini-split heat pumps, quartz countertops, hardwood cabinet fronts, barnwood accents, cabinet feature walls or fireplaces.
A garden suite is a small secondary home placed on the same property as an existing primary residence. They are commonly used for rental income, guest accommodations, family housing, home offices, or downsizing while remaining close to loved ones.
Garden suite regulations vary depending on the municipality, zoning, lot size, servicing, and local bylaws. Many communities throughout BC have become more open to secondary housing options due to increasing housing demand. We can explain certification options and general considerations before you begin planning your project.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they can describe slightly different types of secondary housing depending on the municipality. A garden suite is usually located in a backyard, a laneway home is often positioned along a rear lane in urban areas, and a carriage house may include storage or garage space below the living area.
Yes. Our garden suites are designed with insulation, durable materials, and practical layouts intended for long-term use in British Columbia’s climate. Features such as energy-efficient windows, heating systems, and weather-resistant construction help improve comfort throughout the year.
In many cases, adding a well-designed secondary dwelling can improve the functionality and appeal of a property. Garden suites may also create opportunities for rental income, multigenerational living, or flexible guest accommodation, all of which can add long-term value depending on the property and local market conditions.
The amount of space required depends on the model size, local setback requirements, utility access, and municipal regulations. Smaller urban lots may still accommodate compact suites, while larger rural properties often allow for more flexibility in placement and layout.
Yes. You can personalize the finishes, layouts, cabinetry, exterior colours, and storage features to better suit your property and intended use. Some of our clients prioritize rental durability, while others focus on creating a comfortable long-term residence for family members.
Most garden suites are transported to the property and placed using professional delivery equipment. Site preparation requirements can vary depending on the foundation type, access conditions, utility hookups, and the surrounding landscape. Rural properties, steep driveways, and tighter urban lots may require additional planning before installation.
