Modern Farmhouse Barndominium Plans

A modern farmhouse barndominium pairs the simple, tall box of a barndo with the look people fell for on Fixer Upper: steep gables, board-and-batten, black-framed windows and a porch you can actually sit on. Below are seven plans we picked from BarndominiumPlans.com, with prices, square footage and footprints, followed by what to check before you buy one.

Our Favorite Modern Farmhouse Barndominium Plans

Dobbin — 2,191 Sq Ft Two-Story With Loft

2,191 heated sq ft – 3 beds – 2.5 baths – 2 stories – 650 sq ft garage – 74’9″ x 44’2″

The Dobbin is the one on this list with real build photos behind it, which is the best way to judge how a farmhouse plan looks off the page. The main floor carries 1,556 sq ft with an open great room, kitchen and mudroom, and a 635 sq ft upper level adds the loft. Covered porches front and rear plus a patio behind the garage give you 435 sq ft of outdoor space. The 8:12 roof keeps the classic gable without the framing cost of a steeper pitch.

We have a closer look at this build on our Dobbin farmhouse page.

Darlene — 2,054 Sq Ft Home With A 2,596 Sq Ft Shop

2,054 heated sq ft – 1 bed – 1.5 baths – 1 story + loft bonus room – 2,596 sq ft shop – 95′ x 64′

The Darlene is a farmhouse-faced shop house. The living side is deliberately small — one bedroom suite with a walk-in closet, a powder room for guests, an island kitchen open to the great room — and a 690 sq ft bonus room upstairs that can become a second bedroom or office. The real reason to buy it is the shop: 2,596 sq ft for trucks, equipment or a business, plus 1,180 sq ft of covered storage and a 620 sq ft patio. If the shop matters more than the bedroom count, start here, and see our shop house guide for more.

Martin — 2,404 Sq Ft, 4 Bedrooms, Outdoor Kitchen

2,404 heated sq ft – 4 beds – 2.5 baths – 1.5 stories – 630 sq ft garage – 72’6″ x 59′

The largest plan here and the best fit for a family that needs four real bedrooms on one level. The center section of the house runs taller than the wings, so the great room gets high ceilings and a lot of daylight. There is a walk-in pantry the size of a small room, a primary suite with a very large closet and shower, and a rear porch with a built-in outdoor kitchen. A 384 sq ft bonus room over the garage is left unfinished, so you can finish it now or later. The 12:12 roof gives it the steepest, most traditional farmhouse profile on this list.

Patrick — 2,373 Sq Ft, 4 Bedrooms, Front And Rear Porches

2,373 heated sq ft – 4 beds – 2.5 baths – 1.5 stories – 609 sq ft garage – 70’6″ x 66’10”

The Patrick is close to the Martin in size and bedroom count but leans more French country than pure farmhouse, and it trades the Martin’s outdoor kitchen for more porch — 532 sq ft split between front and back. Inside you get a large kitchen with walk-in pantry, a primary closet that is the headline feature of the plan, and a 336 sq ft future bonus room. It is the deeper of the two four-bedroom plans (66’10”), so check it against your lot before you choose.

Derrick — 2,077 Sq Ft With Brick Accent Wall And Bonus Room

2,077 heated sq ft – 3 beds – 2 baths – 1.5 stories – 622 sq ft garage – 66’8″ x 58’6″

The Derrick has the most finished interior character of the group: a formal entry and dining room open into a living area with raised ceilings and a brick accent wall — the stone-or-brick feature wall that shows up in so many modern farmhouse interiors, already drawn into the plan. Every bedroom has a walk-in closet, the kitchen island has an eating bar, and a 372 sq ft bonus space upstairs works as a guest suite or game room.

Daxton — 2,000 Sq Ft 40×50 With A 50-Foot Front Porch

2,000 heated sq ft – 3 beds – 2 baths – 1 story – No garage – 50′ x 40′

The Daxton is the purest barndominium on the list: one simple 40×50 rectangle with a porch running the full 50-foot front. That shape is the cheapest way to build square footage, and it is the easiest plan here to adapt to a steel or post-frame shell. Ceilings are 10 feet and vaulted through the living areas, the living and dining space is fully open, and there is a dedicated laundry room and pantry. There is no garage, so budget for a detached one or a carport. More plans in this footprint are on our 40×50 barndominium page.

Brittany — 2,125 Sq Ft One-Story With A Shop Bay

2,125 heated sq ft – 3 beds – 2.5 baths – 1 story ranch – 883 sq ft garage – 84′ x 57’10”

Everything on one floor, which makes the Brittany the pick for anyone planning to age in place. The great room is vaulted, the kitchen has an island and walk-in pantry, and the primary suite has an oversized closet. The garage is a two-car with an extra single bay you can use as a third stall or a small shop, and the rear porch includes an outdoor kitchen. It is the widest plan here at 84 feet, so it wants a wide lot. For more single-level options, see our ranch barndominium plans.

Which Modern Farmhouse Plan Fits Your Build?

• You need a real shop: Darlene (2,596 sq ft shop), or Brittany if one extra bay is enough.
• You need four bedrooms: Martin if you want the outdoor kitchen and steepest roof, Patrick if you want more porch. More options on our 4-bedroom plans page.
• You want the lowest build cost per square foot: Daxton. A plain rectangle with no garage is the cheapest shape to frame, roof and enclose.
• You want everything on one level: Brittany or Daxton.
• You want a loft or bonus room: Dobbin (finished loft), Derrick, Martin or Patrick (bonus rooms).
• You are working near 2,000 sq ft: Daxton, Darlene, Derrick and Brittany all sit between 2,000 and 2,125 heated sq ft. See all of our 2,000 sq ft barndominium plans.

What Makes A Barndominium Plan Modern Farmhouse?

Modern farmhouse is mostly decided on the outside and in the layout. Paint colors and furniture can be changed later; these can’t.

A Steep, Simple Gable Roof

The look depends on tall gables. The plans above run from 8:12 (Dobbin, Darlene, Daxton) to 12:12 (Martin, Patrick). Steeper pitches read more farmhouse and give you usable attic or bonus space, but they cost more in trusses and roofing. A metal roof on the porch or the whole house is one of the easiest ways to tie the style back to a barn.

Board-And-Batten And A Light Exterior

White or light siding with vertical board-and-batten on the gables is the signature. On a steel barndominium the same effect comes from light wall panels with a darker trim, or a board-and-batten wainscot on the front elevation only. Our color visualizer lets you try combinations before you commit.

Black Windows And Doors

Black-framed windows, grouped in twos and threes, are what makes it “modern” rather than country. Ask for them when you price the build; they usually cost more than white vinyl.

A Porch You Can Use

Every plan here has at least 363 sq ft of covered porch or patio, and the Daxton’s runs 50 feet across the front. A porch that is 8 feet deep or more is furniture-ready; anything shallower is decoration.

An Open Great Room With Height

Vaulted or raised ceilings over an open living, dining and kitchen space is the barndominium’s natural layout, and it is what modern farmhouse interiors are built around. Exposed trusses or beams against a white ceiling finish the look.

Stick Frame, Steel Or Post-Frame?

All seven plans above are drawn as stick-frame homes on a concrete slab. That matters if you came here expecting a steel kit. You have three options:

• Build it as drawn with a local framing crew. This is the simplest path and what the plans are ready for.
• Convert it to post-frame or a steel shell. Some plans list a major-modification option (about $1,000 on the Dobbin and Daxton) that covers converting the interior to your supplier’s building. The simple-rectangle plans, especially the Daxton, convert most easily. Compare shell prices on our barndominium kits page.
• Change the foundation. Crawlspace and basement versions are available on the HPZ plans (Martin, Patrick, Derrick, Brittany) for a fee; the Dobbin and Daxton offer a general foundation change.

None of these plans include an engineer’s stamp. They are engineering-ready, and your local engineer handles wind and snow loads, septic and, for steel, the truss package.

How Much Does A Modern Farmhouse Barndo Cost To Build?

The plan itself is the small number: $849.99 to $1,445 for the seven above. The build is driven by heated square footage, roof pitch, how much porch and garage you add, your finish level and local labor. A 2,000 sq ft plain rectangle like the Daxton will cost meaningfully less than a 2,400 sq ft 12:12 plan with an outdoor kitchen like the Martin, even though their plans cost about the same. Plug your numbers into our barndominium cost calculator for an estimate for your state.

Other Farmhouse Styles To Consider

• Silo modern farmhouse plans add a round silo tower as a stair or reading room.
• Breezeway plans separate the garage or shop from the house with a covered walkway.
• Custom design is the route if none of these fit your lot.

Styling A Modern Farmhouse Interior

Once the shell is right, the interior is the easy part: white walls and shiplap, wood floors and beams, black or industrial light fixtures, a subway-tile backsplash and a mix of rustic and simple modern furniture. Keep decor restrained — the style works when the room feels open, not crowded. We cover finishes, fixtures and color schemes in more depth in our barndominium interior design guide and our popular colors guide.
