Whether you own a working farm, a sprawling ranch for raising livestock or just a small parcel of land and a couple of horses, building a barn plan or a stable is sure to enhance your property value and provide functional shelter for your livestock. There are many types of barn plans and stable designs available. They are available in a multitude of sizes and offer a variety of thoughtful features making them more efficient and functional then the barns and stables of yesteryear. Here’s a list of features that are commonly incorporated with today’s barn plans and stables:

• Individual stalls, many offering outdoor access to a pen or pasture
• Tack rooms
• Storage areas
• Sliding doors on either end of the structure
• Storage loft
• Finished loft with recreation area or living space
• Half/full bath
• Office

Barn plans and stables are ideal for those who raise/own horses, but they often work well for those who want to own a couple of cattle or few other farm animals but don’t need all the other outbuildings and accessories associated with a working farm or ranch.
