Far From a Boring Barn, These 9 Texas Barndominiums Offer Stylish Digs

In the last few years, savvy homeowners have developed innovative ways to make prefabricated metal buildings comfortable enough to settle down into for life. These rural homes we’ve come to know and love are called barndominiums. They may not offer a ton of visual pop from the exterior, but it’s amazing how stylish and livable they can be.

The trend hit an inflection point a couple of years ago, when Chip and Joanna Gaines renovated one in Waco on “Fixer Upper.” When it landed on the market later for $1.2 million, it put a posh public face on prefab steel.

Barndominiums have been popping up across the country ever since in rural areas, but they’re a true sensation in Texas.

We found nine beautiful barndominiums for sale across the Lone Star State. Open the barn door and have a look!
