Small barn home plans are Hot, Hot, Hot and Yankee Barn Homes is at the forefront of this movement. We’re seeing all ages building smaller homes for a number of different reasons, but the common denominator we see is a desire for unique and beautiful spaces. With a post and beam or hybrid design, smaller doesn’t mean forfeiting an open concept floor plan. As you’ll see from the small barn home designs Yankee Barn has created (and we’re designing more all the time) you’d have a hard time realizing these plans are under 2000 square feet. In actuality, most are far less than 2000 square feet.
NOTE: This list goes from lowest square footage to highest. The first four are carriage house designs (living space on the second floor with garage/storage space below).
Edgewater Carriage House
The Edgewater is currently our smallest plan, however it is also one of our most popular. Visit page: The Edgewater
