For many people building a barndominium, a three bedroom floor plan will be ideal. It offers just the right balance of space. In this guide, we will share some featured three bedroom barndominium plans with you. Before we jump into the floor plans, let’s go over some reasons why you might want a three bedroom barndo.
Who Should Consider a 3 Bedroom Barndominium?
Here are some scenarios where a 3 bedroom barndo plan could be suitable.
- 3+ adults: If you need 3 separate bedrooms for 3 adults, then this is the type of floor plan that would suit you. Or, perhaps you have more than 3 adults, i.e. 2 parents who will share a room, and 2 adult children who need their own rooms, or maybe one of the rooms would house a tenant, etc.
- Family with 2-4 kids: Another scenario might be 2 parents sharing a room, and then 1-2 kids in each of the other rooms.
- Work-from-home family: If 1 or more adults in the household works from home, you could make 1-2 of the bedrooms into home offices (assuming you do not need them as bedrooms). That way, there are quiet spaces to work. Kids may also find these rooms useful for studying.
- Family with hobbies: 1-2 of the bedrooms could be turned into rooms for crafting, exercise, hobbies, games, etc.
- Family that hosts guests: If you ever have guests overnight, you could turn one of the bedrooms into a guest room. You can then host more often, and your guests may feel more comfortable and want to stay longer.
Note that some houses that are designed with three bedrooms may include additional rooms as home office or flex spaces as well. Anything labeled as a “bedroom” on a floor plan will generally include a closet and a bathroom either adjoining or nearby. Other types of rooms may or may not have these features. But ultimately, it is up to you how you use each room in your home.
Three Bedroom Barndo Pricing
We have seen three bedroom barndo plans ranging anywhere from 1,200 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. So, the best thing to do when estimating three bedroom barndo pricing is to calculate the expected cost by multiplying the cost per square foot by your planned square footage.
The price per square foot to build a barndominium can be anywhere from around $70 to $150.
So, at the lower end, you could build a three bedroom barndo for around $84,000. At the upper end, it could cost you over $600,000.
Featured Three Bedroom Barndominium Plans
Now that we’ve talked about the benefits of three bedroom barndo plans, let’s check out some exciting plans.
PL-69193 Westchase Barndominium House Plan
The Westchase barndo floor plan features 2,136 heated square feet and two stories. The house includes 3 bedrooms, 2.2 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage. There are 1,408 heated square feet on the first floor, and 728 on the second floor. The garage is 1,036 square feet, and there is a 2,008 square foot porch, plus a 769 square foot deck, adding a total of 3,813 square feet of unheated space to the home. The porch wraps around three sides of the house; the fourth side has the garage doors.
Like most barndo homes, this one combines the kitchen and living room into a single space. One nice extra feature it has is a bar in the living room. There is a mudroom off the kitchen, which offers access to the laundry room and master bathroom, as well as a vestibule. From the vestibule, you can reach a smaller, secondary bathroom, or the garage. A downstairs hallway leads from the living room to the master bedroom, which also has a door to the master bathroom, and a large closet.
The second floor has been left open to the below over the kitchen and living room, giving them a high ceiling. A roomy loft gives access to the second and third bedrooms, as well as a small shared bathroom.
RP-10004 Randall Barndominium House Plan
If you want a single story home with 3 bedrooms and a strong focus on outdoor space, you probably will like the Randall barndo plan. This house includes 2,129 square feet of heated space and 2 full bathrooms. There is a wide, wraparound, covered porch that goes all the way around the entire home. Note that this floor plan does not feature a carport.
The front door leads you into the living room, which is combined with a kitchen and dining room. This is the middle section of the house. To one side of these common areas, there is a door that leads to the master bedroom, which includes a spacious master bathroom and master closet (walk-in). This side of the home also has a utility room, which you can reach via the kitchen.
The other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home, and include a shared bathroom and dressing room. They do not have walk-in closets.
RP-10002 Radcliffe Barndominium House Plans
This modest, single story barndo home includes 1,800 heated square feet of space, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. There is no carport. But there are two porches in the front and rear that span the width of the home, providing you with 1,100 square feet of outdoor space.
The interior layout of this house is almost exactly the same as the Randall home. The main difference is the porches.
The living room and kitchen/dining room are combined in the center of the house. Once again, the master bedroom, master bathroom, and master closet are on one side of the home, together with the utility room. On the other side of the house, you can find a hall that takes you to the other two bedrooms. They are not much smaller than the master bedroom. But they do have a smaller shared bathroom and dressing room.
Basically, we would suggest considering this floor plan if your lot would be cramped with the slightly larger Randall, or if for whatever reason, you just don’t want porches all around.
PL-62301-A Anna House Plan
If you want a single story barndo with a modest footprint that still comfortably accommodates 3 bedrooms, take a look at the Anna barndo. It includes 1,683 square feet of heated space, and 2 full bathrooms. There is also a 1,180 square foot carport. It is covered, but not enclosed. The porches along the front and back of the house are 816 square feet. That is a total of 1,996 square feet of unheated space.
The way the house is configured, the porches run along the front and back, which are the long sides of the home. Along the right-hand side, the carport is positioned, with a storage room in back.
The front door leads to the living room and kitchen, both of which include high vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom, master closet, and master bathroom are located on the right side of the house, adjacent to the carport. A door leads from the living room to the master bedroom, and another leads from the kitchen into the laundry room, which is where the pantry is located (also on this side of the house).
On the opposite side of the living room, a hallway takes you to the two bedrooms and shared bathroom. One nice feature of this house is that both of these bedrooms have walk-in closets, just like the master bedroom does. This is rare to see, and great for a household where everyone enjoys an extensive wardrobe.
BP-2001 Brashear Barndominium Plan
This roomy floor plan includes 2,567 square feet of heated space, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, all on a single floor. There is also 2,799 square feet of unheated floor space, comprised of a garage (1,230 square feet), porches (1,169 square feet), and a pavilion (400 square feet).
Those who value outdoor living are going to love this plan. The house has covered porches in the front and back, plus a covered walkway that leads from the house to the separate 2-car garage. Behind the garage is an uncovered patio, plus a covered patio behind that featuring a kitchenette, powder room, and storage.
The main living section of the house is set back a bit from the sections to either side, making for a larger covered front porch. The front doors open on the living room, which has a vaulted ceiling. To the left is the kitchen and dining area. The dining area is set back in a little nook at the rear of the house, which is nice for those who want a tad more separation of space than most modern floor plans offer. The kitchen has a large pantry too. In the living room, there are built-in shelves and a fireplace.
From the living room, doors open to a home office. There are no other entrances to this room, owing to the decision to incorporate a closet. The kitchen also has a doorway that leads to a hallway. Going one direction will take you to the laundry room, mudroom, and covered walkway that leads to the garage.
Going the other direction will take you to the master bedroom, master bathroom, and walk-in master closet. The master bedroom has its own door leading out onto the covered porch, a section of which has partial privacy thanks to the dining room nook protruding outward next to it.
On the opposite side of the living room, there is a hallway that takes you to the two other bedrooms and their shared bathroom. Each room has a walk-in closet. All told, this is a pretty luxurious floor plan.
