Barns With Serious Style: 9 ‘Barndominiums’ Worth Bragging About

“Barndominiums”—metal buildings modified to include living quarters plus a barn, kennel, or office—continue to build a big audience on realtor.com®.

We saw the Texas-style living quarters gain national notice in 2015, thanks in part to the HGTV phenomenon of “Fixer Upper.” Renovation duo Chip and Joanna Gaines transformed a barn into a residence and dubbed it a barndominium. From there, interest in the rustic residences skyrocketed.

These structures have several things in common: They are multipurpose, rural, and extra-durable. And given their industrial-style shells, they tend to resemble glorified sheds rather than conventional tract homes.

Despite (or because of) the look, the craze continues unabated, and we’ve spotted nine feature-worthy listings on the market. And in a tantalizing twist, the multipurpose structures have been migrating farther afield. Our list even includes a property outside the Lone Star State, in Arkansas.
