The Beauty of Barndominiums: A new spin on country living

What is a barndominium?

A barndominium is a type of living space that is constructed from an existing barn or metal building. It combines the rustic charm of a traditional barn with the modern amenities of a home.

Why Choose a Barndominium?

Barndominiums offer homeowners several advantages, including:

• Affordability: Barndos are often less expensive to construct than traditional homes.
• Simplicity: Due to their open concept design and straightforward floor plans, barndo owners often have more freedom when it comes to customization.
• Durability: Built with durable steel framing and siding, barndos are highly resistant to termite damage, rotting, and other common issues found in wooden structures.

The Versatility of Design

One great aspect about building your own barndo from scratch is the flexibility it offers in terms of design. Here are some popular styles:

• Rustic ranch-style: For people who want an authentic countryside feel, complete with large wooden beams and wide porches for taking in scenic views.
• Metal loft-style: Industrial features such as metal staircases or flooring that add style and sophistication that combine both rustic/contemporary together. 

The Future Potential for Resale Value

Growing interest in this unique housing option may suggest that they will build equity over time by becoming more marketable as alternative options expand people's choices. Current data suggests they do not appreciate any quicker than traditional homes but remain stable in value depending on the location, size, and amenities of the home.

Conclusion

Barndominums aren't for everyone but if you live in a rural area, or want some land this could be an excellent choice to consider. The appeal of their simple beauty and versatility should not be underestimated as they become more refined in design.
