‘Barndominiums’ Blooming! The Popular Style Is Now Popping Up Outside of Texas

“Barndominiums,” part utility building and part residence, are an unusual breed of home. Usually built from prefabricated steel structures and tricked out inside to create a cozy living space, barndominiums were once almost exclusively found in Texas.

But like Dr Pepper and Matthew McConaughey, it was only a matter of time before these rustic retreats caught fire outside the Lone Star State.

Often plopped on sprawling parcels of land, these country homes are made out of barns, prefabricated pole barns, or buildings intended to be workshops. The industrial interiors are then converted into chic homes.

Chip and Joanna Gaines of “Fixer Upper” recently transformed a barn once used for horses into a design-forward, comfortable space anyone would love.

And why not? Steel buildings are cheap and convenient and, once converted, can be surprisingly stylish. Making them even more attractive for many buyers, barndominiums also offer a seamless way to work and live in the same spot.

To prove the point, here are 10 barndominiums for sale right now. While four of the properties on the list are in Texas, the others are scattered across other states—a sign the barndominium trend is spreading out across the land.
