How to Choose the Right Location for Your Barndominium

Written By Jason Mitchell

Building a barndominium is an exciting opportunity to create a unique and functional home that reflects your lifestyle and preferences. But before you start planning the design, you'll need to choose the right location for your new home. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a location for your barndominium:

  1. Zoning Laws: One of the first things to consider when choosing a location for your barndominium is the local zoning laws. Some areas may have restrictions on the size or type of home you can build, so it's important to research the local zoning laws before making a final decision.

  2. Proximity to Amenities: Consider the proximity of the location to essential amenities such as grocery stores, schools, medical facilities, and other important services. If you're planning on living in the barndominium full-time, you'll want to ensure that it's located in an area that's convenient and accessible.

  3. Soil Type: The soil type is an important consideration when building a barndominium. Soil that's too soft or prone to flooding may not be suitable for construction. Before selecting a location, have a soil test conducted to ensure that the soil is stable enough to support the foundation of your barndominium.

  4. Views and Landscape: Consider the views and landscape of the location. If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic setting, a location with beautiful views or natural surroundings may be a good choice. Additionally, consider the terrain of the location and whether it's suitable for your needs and preferences.

  5. Climate: Consider the climate of the location, including factors such as temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. Depending on where you live, you may need to take extra precautions to ensure that your barndominium is built to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
