A distinct dwelling sitting on an 18-acre ranch recently listed for sale in Southeast San Antonio is a cowboy’s dream come true.
Built in 2023, the home is what’s known as a “barndominium,” or a residence for humans built to resemble a barn. Such homes are often built on a metal frame and utilize metal siding.
Barndominiums have been a trend for the past few years, with many cropping up throughout Texas due to the structure’s ease of customization and affordability. However, this one comes with a price tag just shy of $1.7 million, so “affordability” is in the eye of the beholder.
Though the 3,248-square-foot structure is largely single-story, it features high ceilings throughout, including an expansive, two-story living room.
Materials in the living room mirror the rustic setting, including wood paneling on the ceiling and a limestone fireplace. Indeed, a rustic country patina can be found throughout the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home, including the faux-tarnished metal cowboy tub in the primary bathroom.
But don’t be fooled, though, this barndo ranch ain’t all hat, no cattle. In fact, it’s ready for lots of cattle.
The fenced-in property also comes with a three-bay horse barn — yes, this one’s an actual barn — complete with a tack room, a feed room and a wash bay. The property’s also been irrigated for agricultural purposes and comes with an ag valuation.
So if you’re an urban cowboy who never roped a steer, best mosey along. Go on, git!
The property also features an equipment barn, shop and a huge covered parking area for all the vehicle and equipment storage needs of an active farm.
Back at the homestead, a large covered patio allows for quality porch sitting while taking in the scenic countryside. It also might be a comfortable spot to keep an eye on any cow that’s been fixin’ to get out.
