COMING THIS SPRING 2027 TO MERLIN, ONTARIO 40' × 90' X 16' Barndominium | Country Living Done Right Coming soon to Merlin, Ontario, this 40' × 90' Barndo Canada project brings together comfortable country living, serious shop space, and plenty of room for the toys. At 3,600 square feet, the building offers a fantastic combination of residential and garage/shop space, including an 800 sq. ft. mezzanine that takes full advantage of the height of the building. The mezzanine walks directly out onto a second-level covered deck, creating an incredible outdoor living space overlooking the property. And then there's the shop. Designed with plenty of room for tinkering, projects, equipment and RV storage, this is exactly what makes the barndominium concept work so well for rural living. Home, workshop, storage and lifestyle space all come together under one roof — without compromising the look or feel of the residence. Finished with white exterior walls, a black roof and black trim, the clean country exterior gives this Barndo a timeless look while the large covered outdoor area and upper-level deck add some serious character. This is country-style living done right — more usable space, more flexibility, and a building designed around how its owners actually want to live.
