Split right down the middle: 1,600 SF living + 1,600 SF shop + 800 SF porch/patio—and yes, we tell you the base cost. Come tour this high‑performance Texas barndominium packed with smart details: black soffits, cedar‑wrapped posts, Anderson E- & A-Series doors, stained concrete floors, custom cabinetry with pull-out sink drawers, a wet bar with leathered Black Pearl granite, Siberian White & Morning Frost countertops, and a 40x40 shop cooled by a MacroAir HVLS fan and Cooper & Hunter mini splits. On the performance side, we’re running a tight building envelope with a heat pump, Santa Fe dehumidifier, and a Broan/Brawn ERV keeping fresh air flowing. Propane powers the tankless water heater and fireplace burner, while the AQUA water system handles exterior faucets the smart way. Base price (standards only) for 1,600 SF living / 1,600 SF shop / 800 SF porch: ~$487,000 in 2025. Upgrades (windows, counters, air quality package, etc.) raise that number—use our calculator to see what your build could look like. 👉 Subscribe if you want real builds, real costs, and real ideas for your barndo.
