Need help or resources

Okay folks, I have found a 10 x 12 fully finished shed/cottage that someone is selling at a really good price. The catch is I would need to move it from Fremont to my home in San Ramon. If the price wasn't so great I wouldn't even consider it. Does anybody know how I would transport such a thing? I know that it would have to be taken apart but then what? Has anybody ever moved something like this?

You don't know if you don't ask. I'm asking

rent a car trailer take the shed apart and tie down the walls to the trailer.

Partial disassembly and hauling it yourself will probably be your cheapest alternative, but not necessarily the simplest & easiest.

It shouldn't be difficult at all to get a 10x12 building moved intact. My brother & I bought a 12x20 cabin for our farm & the mfg delivered it on a tilt-up gooseneck trailer - one guy delivered it, unloaded it onto concrete blocks & leveled it. Also, large 8x20 and 8x40 shipping containers are moved around all the time.

I wouldn't have any idea of a mover in your area who could handle that building, but I'd sure check around & do some price comparison before tackling it myself.

My parents just had a shed moved. Like said earlier, a company used a tilting flatbed to winch it up.

I had a shed moved by a towing company. They used a rollback tow truck and its winch to slide the shed onto the bed.

I move my 5 x 6 x 3 shed by myself. I took apart at the man's house and numbered the pieces as I did it. Borrowed a truck and loaded it and then brought it home and assembled it on a foundation. I did it by myself and it wasn't difficult at all, just time consuming. I hauled it from Sebastapol, which is 40 miles from San Francisco.
I would help you

I found a guy who has a tilt trailer and does this type of thing as a living. Next is to see what he charges!

Call a shed company, I had one moved by them. I think it was around 400 bucks
