Barn Homes Made Easy

I've written about barn conversions before (old barns that people buy and extensively remodel in order to make them into homes), but it can be darned hard to find a barn on a piece of property without a house nearby (and try to explain to the homeowner that, no, you just want to buy the barn not the house...).  This is even harder in non-rural areas.  Does that mean you can't have a home built in the style of a barn?  Nope.  In fact there are builders who are starting to specialize in this kind of construction.

For instance, Yankee Barn Homes builds houses from scratch in the open, high-ceilinged style of old-fashion barns.  But, of course, they have all the latest amenities.  You can find books with inspiration and ideas on their site, as well as barn house plans you can order.  It's worth the visit just to browse through the picture gallery.

Man, I love those barn conversions. I just wish I could afford to do something like that!
