The Legacy Floor Plan And Elevations
Two stories, 2,039 heated square feet, on an 86 by 70 foot footprint. Three bedrooms, two full baths, a mechanical room that doubles as storage, and an open main living area.
Nine-foot first-floor ceilings. Concrete slab, stick frame, 9:12 main roof pitch, 25 feet 8 inches overall.
The unheated areas are the story of this plan, and they are larger than the house:
| Area | Square feet |
|---|---|
| Heated living space | 2,039 |
| Shop | 2,123 |
| Loft (unheated) | 626 |
| Porch | 830 |
| Total unheated | 3,579 |
What Does It Cost To Build A Legacy?
At $65 to $160 per square foot, 2,039 heated square feet is roughly $133,000 to $326,000 before land, site prep, well, septic and utilities.
That figure describes about a third of what you are building. Total structure is 5,618 square feet. The shop alone is bigger than the house. Every square foot of shop, loft and porch carries foundation, framing and roof, and none of it appears in a per-square-foot estimate run on heated space. If you take one number off this page, take 5,618 rather than 2,039.
Unheated square footage is cheaper per foot than finished living space — no drywall, no interior trim, no HVAC — but “cheaper” is not “cheap,” and an 86-foot-wide roof is a serious structure however you finish underneath it.
Kit shell: $20 to $35 per square foot plus $10 to $15 to assemble. A plan that is mostly shop is a strong kit candidate, since a large clear-span bay is what metal building packages do best.
Local labor market and self-GC’ing dominate the outcome. Get county bids before setting a budget.
Is The Legacy Right For You?
Are you looking for a shop house more than a regular home? 2,123 square feet is a serious shop, not a large garage. This is equipment, a business, a collection, or real fabrication space. Combined with 2,039 square feet of finished living space, the Legacy is one of the few plans that gives you both a full three-bedroom house and a shop you would not outgrow. That combination, not the square footage, is what you are buying.
Where it is straightforwardly strong: 830 square feet of porch is generous without being the 1,016 that dominates the Henry; a 9:12 pitch at 25 feet 8 inches gives a big building real proportion; and a mechanical room that doubles as storage is the kind of practical detail that only shows up in plans drawn by someone who has lived in one.
Legacy BG-20003 FAQ
How big is the Legacy barndominium?
2,039 heated square feet on an 86 by 70 foot footprint. Unheated areas add 3,579 square feet — a 2,123 square foot shop, a 626 square foot loft and 830 square feet of porch — for 5,618 square feet of total structure. Overall height is 25 feet 8 inches.
How big is the shop in the Legacy plan?
2,123 square feet, which is larger than the home’s heated living space. The plan does not publish shop dimensions, overhead door sizes or a shop-specific ceiling height — the published 9-foot ceiling is for the first floor of the living space. Ask the designer for shop specifics before you buy.
Is the Legacy loft heated?
The published specs are contradictory, so confirm with the designer before you buy. The spec panel lists the 626 square foot loft as “Second Floor” under heated square footage, but the total heated figure of 2,039 covers only the first floor, and the same 626 is counted inside the 3,579 square feet of unheated area. Whether it is conditioned space changes your HVAC sizing and what the room can be used for.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the Legacy have?
Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There is no half bath, which is worth considering on a plan with a 2,123 square foot working shop attached.
Can I modify the Legacy plan?
Some changes have published prices: flipping the plan is $300, changing the foundation type is $400, a CAD/DWG file is $1,250 and a material list is $275. Other modifications go through the Modify This Plan button, which returns a free quote within 72 hours.
What is included in the BG-20003 plan set?
Cover sheet, four elevations, roof plan, dimensioned floor plan, foundation plan, wall sections and electrical plans. $1,250.00 as a PDF for a single build; five printed and shipped sets are $1,600.00.
