I’ll have to inquire about the barndo. I was considering getting a piece of land and plopping one down. Do you love it?
It's on 17.5 acres which I inherited, no cost there. It has wildlife Ag exemption.
its a 30X80 building. 30X30 sqrft shop, rest is house, 2 bdrm 2 bath, an insulated structure inside the barn shell.
in 2021 as I recall, it was about $185K for the built out structure, with additional $7k for electric service, $7k for road,, $6K for car port and sidewalk, $6K septic, $12k Water well.
Taxes were $1700 this year.
monthly electricity, (everything electric, including water well) spans $90-$189. The highest was a hot month.
10ft ceilings inside except for living room which is 16ft.
We run the heat at 71, (It feels much warmer in this thing for some reason)
set at 75 in summer.
We were our own subcontractors. every turnkey asshat wanted like $175K just to do the finish work to the inside of the already framed out living space.
Its the most low maintenance efficient dwelling you can get.
We like it.
