About this plan

A 40 by 60 foot barndominium drawn as a permit set: 2,400 square feet on one level, three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. This is the drawing package you hand to a building department, priced accordingly. These 40x60 barndominium floor plans are delivered as a PDF plan set.

Three full bathrooms

Three bathrooms across three bedrooms is the distinguishing feature here. It means every bedroom is effectively served by its own, which is unusual at this footprint and the reason to choose this layout over a three bed, two bath arrangement of the same size.

How the plan works

The living space is open across kitchen, dining and living. The island is optional, and both versions are drawn, so you can leave it out if you would rather have the floor space or add it if you want the prep surface.

The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. Laundry has its own room.

Why 40 by 60

This footprint is the most-built barndominium size in the country, and the reason is structural. It matches standard post-frame bay spacing and clear-span truss lengths almost exactly, so there is very little waste in the material bill and most suppliers can quote it from stock.

Before you build

Permit requirements depend on your location, site and proposed construction. Your building department determines which drawings, calculations and professional approvals are required, and local review may identify changes needed to the plans. Some departments ask for an engineer’s stamp or a foundation designed around your own soil report; arrange these with a local engineer. Print as many copies as your builder and your permit application require.
