Barndominiums are a trendy option for house hunters who want a retreat. They’re surprisingly affordable to buy or build, and they often offer residents the chance to get away from it all in a remote area.
What exactly is a barndominium? It’s defined as an “oversized building that’s either a retrofitted barn-to-home conversion or an open-concept steel building constructed from the ground up.”
They’re often built in rural areas where there’s plenty of wide-open space, but this type of rustic residence has also started popping up in areas closer to civilization.
And you don’t need to break the bank to buy one. We searched listings nationwide and found five beautiful barndominiums—all priced below $400,000.
Price: $385,000
Everything but the horses: This barndominium is a true bargain because it offers revenue opportunities aplenty.
Painted in a vibrant shade of red, the residence contains three different-sized living units under one roof.
A new owner can live in the three-bedroom section and rent out the two other units.
The home just north of Houston sits on a corner acre lot full of shady trees and comes with a sport court for tenant recreation.
Built in 2018, the multiple units also offer short-term rental potential, as there are numerous wedding venues and a Renaissance festival in the area.

A lot of land: At first glance, the price for this one-bedroom, one-bathroom barndominium might seem high. Then it seems reasonable when you factor in the 100 acres of land, a giant shop and porch, covered RV parking and hookups, as well as a luxe chicken coop it comes with.
Living quarters include a loft-style apartment overlooking a giant great room that can be used for living space, entertaining, or tinkering on vehicles. The building is equipped with an oversized garage door.
Ideal as a hunting lodge, the secluded getaway sits atop the Bull Mountains in Central Montana with views of the Crazy and Snowy Mountains.
