i am about to buy some land 2 hours NE of dallas. i am looking at options for accomidations. of those who have been down that road, i would love to hear feedback and things you would change? I dont need a beautiful place with marble and all that. thinking more contractor grade equipment. would like small bedrooms intened for just sleeping. ideally thinking of a barndominuim becuase i like having a place to store small tractor, 4 wheeler, and that crap we all accumulate. But my quick research shows that is going to be very expensive. wood cabin, modular home, metal building...? what and why. budget can be modified, but current comfort is about 30k

Metal building on a slab. Use 1/2 to live in, the other 1/2 for shop, garage, storage etc

what would you say a ballpark turnkey price would be for about a 40x60 with 30%shop and a few bedrooms one bath and a simple kitchen?

I priced this out recently thru mueller for my place, and it was right at 31000 for the slab and building to be assembled. Not finished on the inside. 2 roll up doors and 1 regular door.

How are the taxes and insurance cheaper? Both are base on value. I live in a barndominium and I don't get any kind of break. I have to fight both to keep from getting increased every year. If you know something I don't please clue me in.

If you under insure you will also subject yourself to coinsurance when you try to file a claim. Only a percentage of the claim will be paid based upon the amount you were shorting the insurance company. It's very risky to under insure. I am going through this myself

I recently quoted a 40 x 60 insulated weld up to a guy in Emory it was right around 30k.
Finish out I'd put 50 55 dollars a Sq ft at.
That's excluding water, water meter, electrical service drop and septic. Those 3 can get pricey as well. If you need any firm numbers feel free to call me anytime.

DIY. Go to Lowes or Home Depot, buy one of the cabin kits and do it yourself

Sounds like prices have gone up.
We had a 40x60 16-foot eve height Mueller put up 2 years ago with insulation and 2 14x14 doors. It cost 13k for the building, 9k for the slab and 6k to put it together.
We are building our own interior finish out... its taking a little time, but 1400-1500 sq ft with a loft and we are less than 10k easy into the living quarters. 3 bed one bath.

A budy of mine has their camp made out of 10x10 containers. It took some work, but its really nice. I may not want to live in it, but for a deer camp its top notch to me.
