Must Have Features of a Barndominium

I’ve thought about it, you’ve thought about it, we have all thought about packing up and moving into a barn-dominium at some point this year! Today’s your lucky day because we are diving into some “Must-Have Features of a Barndominium”. If you are new to the world of barn living, then let us introduce you. Barndominiums are a type of barn that is usually made out of metal but can be made from other material as well. These structures are then upgraded, finished, and furnished to serve as a comfortable home, at least for part of it. The other part of it is totally customizable to what you want. Have horses? Build on a stable. Have lots of wheeled toys? Build a garage. There are SO many possibilities, the world is actually your oyster when it comes to customizing your barndominium. As the years go by, barns with living quarters have actually grown to not only be an affordable housing alternative, but a very sound investment as well!

Barndominium homes not only look great, but they come with a ton of other benefits such as:

• Easy additional income when rented as a short term rental or apartment space
• Energy-efficient
• Low maintenance
• Live close to your animals or toys
• Can be built quickly & affordably

Now let’s dive into some must-have features!

A Stable

A horse lover’s dream is to have their horses in the home with them. Thankfully with these new build homes, you can create your perfect living space with your four-legged friends on the other side of the wall! What do you think? Will you be adding a stable to your barndominium?

A Full Shop

Car freak? Love your tractors? Keep them inside this year by making space in your home! Your imagination is your only limitation here. From massive garage doors to standard garage doors, anything goes when it comes to designing the home of your dreams.

Wrap Around Porch

Who doesn’t love a wrap-around porch? Thankfully with this feature, you can add on other things as well. If you dream of drinking coffee on your porch with the sun coming up, then this is a must-have feature. Besides, everyone loves a good wrap-around porch!

Built-in Dog Run

If you are looking for a way to keep your fluffy friends close, but also want to give some space to run around, then a built-in dog run is the feature for you!
