Barndominiums Are the New Texas Dream Home

In this day and age, the ability to afford a mortgage is fortunate by anyone’s standards. However, being able to build your Texas dream home is a whole other level of luxury to which few can aspire. Enter the barndominium. The Lone Star State has often been recognized as a rancher’s paradise. In days gone by, many a Texas barn was erected for the purpose of meeting the farm needs of the property. Over time, and with the economy taking the turns that it did, some ranches were forced to be sold off in bits and pieces, and their outbuildings became a part of someone else’s acreage, perhaps left untouched for years. A barndominium is a living project that makes use of such buildings. They don’t all necessarily have to be old and repurposed, however. A barndominium can be built from scratch with 100 percent new designs and modern-day construction materials. The concept, however, is turning heads across Texas, allowing for many large families to live comfortably and affordably, while ensuring a modicum of luxury. Here are some barndominium projects making waves as the new Texas dream home.
