Why a Barndominium

A barndominium puts open living space and big shop or garage space under one simple, strong roofline, on land with room to breathe.

Maybe you want a shop for the truck, the trailer or the hobby. Maybe you want vaulted, open rooms a traditional floor plan can’t give you. Either way, you want space.

Whatever brings you here, the process is the same as any Ironwood home. We listen first, plan around your land and budget, and Scott oversees the build the way he would his own.

Our Main Barndominium Area

Why Rio Rancho Works

Rio Rancho has open land and zoning flexible enough for a barndominium.

That makes it our main area for these homes. Lots range from city parcels with utilities to bigger pieces of land that need a well and septic, and the permit path changes depending on which side of the city limits you’re on.

Before You Buy Land

Three Things We Check on Every Lot

A barndominium is only as good as the land under it. Here is what we look at before you commit.

Land & Lot Evaluation

Zoning and Covenants
Some lots and subdivisions limit metal siding, outbuildings or home styles. Stephanie reads the covenants and HOA rules before you commit.
Water and Septic
Out on bigger lots, city water and sewer are not a given. Scott checks whether you need a well and septic, because it changes the budget and the timeline.
Access and Grade
A long drive, a slope or a drainage path can shape where the home sits. Scott walks the land and plans the site work up front.

Questions

Barndominium Questions

Where Can I Build a Barndominium Near Albuquerque?

Rio Rancho is our main area for barndominiums because there is more land and the zoning is more flexible. Some lots in other areas have covenants that limit the style, so we check your lot first.

Is a Barndominium a Custom Home?

Ours are. We design each one around your land and the way you live, and Scott oversees the build with the same care behind the walls as any Ironwood home.

Can You Help Me Find Land for a Barndominium?

Yes. Stephanie can help you search for and negotiate a lot, and Scott evaluates it before you buy. You are always welcome to use the real estate broker of your choice.

How Do I Finance a Barndominium?

Many people use a construction loan that converts to a permanent mortgage when the home is done. We can introduce you to our preferred lender, Yvette N. Klinkmann at Bell Bank Mortgage, to talk through your options.
