Very awesome. The Cadillac version of what I want. Way too many haters on here I can't believe how rude some of you are. Congratulations on your awesome house!
Pretty cool looking - my husband and I want to check these types of homes out. We'd love something small, maybe 12-1400 sq ft. - We downsized almost 2 years from a big 2 story home - sold it and are now renting a small apartment until we decide what to do. We are looking for a piece of land closer to our grandkids/kids. We're told to watch for building codes and permits if we are serious about this, but we know this ahead of time now so we won't be surprised. The Morton website is a little confusing in terms of trying to nail down a price of what we're looking.for though, but we're still considering it. You have a beautiful home!
Smart building system. Is insurance cheaper? Would be nice to have examples of buildings that are not on concrete. Well, as far as the living space parts. Access to plumbing etc....and keeping plumbing below floor and not so much up walls and over ceiling would be ideal for the living space. Ducting under floor. Any way to affordable have steel frame floor joists? Thanks
Does Morton have contractors who can turn a existing 48x72(approx) Morton Building into a home? Looking to turn Morton Building built in 1986 into a house. The barn floor is mostly gravel/mud at this time, so would have to dig it out to lay a concrete slab. Would like a section of the home upstairs. Trying to have at least a 6 bedroom home in the least amount of space to keep heating costs down. We also have a larger Morton Building we could use if we needed the bigger one for enough living space. I just have no clue where to begin as to finding a contractor to do the work.
They downsized the house part to the one bedroom and the upstairs craft room. They no doubt expanded their garage space, as the structure is almost 3 times as much garage as it is house. The structure is 54' X 102'. The house part of that is only 28' X 54'. This, no doubt, is the husband's dream. He has room for ALL his toys and tools. She has a lot of crafts which makes the house part, since it is so small, comparatively, look cluttered, especially the area around that antique stove.
its a lot cheaper to buy a shell and do it yourself i started mine 60x25 from a local company slabe and building was about 18,000 started off with 1 bedroom kitchen/living room and 1 car garage now have 3 bedrooms done it all myself for about 45k not really worth it unless you do 90% of the work.
I need a 40x60 with two bedrooms and kitchen bathroom and living room. Need 20ft ceilings in the garage must be able to fit 2 vehicles and two snowmobiles and a couple atvs
An 1800 square foot home is about $36.00 a square foot/ That does not include land, well, septic tank or interior like cabinets etc. That will cost avg. between $50.00-$100.00 per square foot. I got this info from the Morton Building Material sent to me.
@@sglacf huh. I built a customer a 36 x 36 at 39,800. Last August. And it's not living quarters with kitchen and bath hvac and plumbing and loft that's. 95 to 120 k depending on interior trim .
I’m looking at a 60 by 40; the building and pad is less than 40,000. Still looking at interior costs, but planning for kitchen, living room, dining room and master bedroom with en-suite, on first floor, 2 bedrooms, theatre, office and rec room upstairs, and still have room to use. But looking at less than $110,000 finished.
Looking at the calculator above, the 2 buildings listed as examples, run $45 a square foot for just the buildings. Is that cost for the built on site building or just the cost of the materials? I realize that the interior design is up to the owner, but what about some idea on the interiors. Are you looking at another 50 to 100 thousand to finish it?
Not a home but a warehouse for possessions. All of that stuff is for show and probably never gets used. From hubby’s shop to her sewing room it reminds me of a museum of curiosities.
Yeah but the dealerships can fit like 16 cars in them with all the 4 post lifts on either side and 1 hallway to drive down. The guy probably wanted a workshop where he could walk in some 2x4s and not worry about denting his new chevy lol
what are you really saving by this building method? If you are framing the walls anyways then it seems like your are doing more in the long run. So just what are you really gaining?
theres alot of nice factors to this both storage and the land, woodshops, sewing, shop, a place for your toys, as you seen no need for starage rentals they have their atvs, cars, trucks, home trailer, boat, and hobby rooms aswel as their cozy sleeping and living quarters. mainly for the mans mancave..
You gain a lot. Here's one awesome upside to this. It's a free standing building. It goes up really quick, and being free standing. You can complete the inside overtime yourself or sub it out one room at a time as your budget allows, while you live in the wide open space with a roof over your head. You can make it as luxurious as you want by budget, instead of being stuck with a huge mortgage payment for a completed home..and if I'm not mistaking,home insurance is less on these types of homes. No shingles to replace and fire. I think the tin has a 30 year warranty on fading. Been awhile since I checked. So no repainting your home every couple of years. outside wood rot etc.. There's a lot when you really think about it.
When you watch home building shows (Fixer Upper, Flip or Flop, etc.), you hear a lot of talk about "load bearing walls." If you have internal load bearing walls, you are limited as to the floorplan that you can have. Morton Buildings are free standing buildings. In other words, ALL of the load bearing is done by the exterior walls. If you wanted to make a room 120' X 300', you could do it in a Morton Building. Hoping to build a Morton Building ourselves in a few years once the nest empties out!
You save a lot on building material over traditional construction. I’m looking at going with a 60x40, building and pad alone will be less than 40K for 2400 sq. ft. House. You can’t build a wood house for that.
It's their home they can be there every hour if they want, if they are doing their job right then the wouldn't have to worry about it. I bet you are one of those workers who half ass and try to cut corners.
My mother-in-law had to be. Builder tried to cheat her every possible way, including cracked slab, used appliances, wrong color paint and stain, lack of door opening to the bathroom, Wrong cabinets, damaged window facings, etc. If you don't pay attention, it can happen. Many builders are scrupulously honest, and others aren't, just as in any other profession.
Really nice home. Just waaaay to much stuff in it. 5 ladders??, tons of dolls, all those tuperwear storage containers, and tons of clutter on every wall and counter surface. Some people love their "stuff", and need a place to display their stuff. People are free to buy and do what they want to be happy. I have no issue with that, but I'm just more of an anti clutter person.
Chevy Rok14 I get what you're saying and I agree but this video wasn't meant to be a representation of things you should do just things that Morton is able to create for you to customize yourself sort of thing.
And here's the problem, we're never happy, she wants to do it again but larger, if he allows that, in a short time it will be larger or she will let out, no, actually what we had was just right....thank goodness the husband puts his foot down as she mentioned and she is submitting to that, for the good of both of them. Please understand that it is not in her nature to be content, as evidenced by the overdecorating, it can only be controlled, he must have the skill to tell her what she wants subtlety, because she has no idea. I don't have such skill, so things clash and yes lifelong single here.
Are you serious? This is not a marriage counselling site. People do still have rights in America. correct? I am sure she doesn't tell him what to do with his big workshop and his big garage. Seriously, this is just inappropriate and way off subject.
His garage/workshop space is 74' X 54'. Her house space is 28' X 54'. You can double that if you count the upstairs craft/multi-purpose room. Did you see all the toys and tools he had - proudly and neatly displayed all around from floor to ceiling. God forbid, but if he should pre-decease her, what is she going to do with all those tools? Box them up and sell the lot of them! He got his dream garage workshop. She got to downsize into a much smaller space. And just what the hell do you know about that woman's nature to be content??? Evidently, she does have some idea of what she wants or things would be busting out all over, no matter how subtly he "told her what she wants!" I am so glad you realized that you are a jerk and have not tried to foist your way of macho thinking on some poor woman or girl.
No way that's a million... I had a 65x30 building made with foundation was $26k...without the Sheetrock yet...just wanted it for storage and game room/theater room...but you are right about the appliances...looks like they kept a budget on those.
julio CS People are strange that way...more readily accept what they’re familiar with. I have family in Denver who are involved in real estate development. Looking at their projects and comparable listings, it’s clear that in some areas there’s a lot of copying going on.

TO MUCH STUFF! Lovely build, but my god. Had an anxiety attack watching. Glutinous way of life, just living for the stuff. More like a Museum than a HOME.
Very awesome. The Cadillac version of what I want. Way too many haters on here I can't believe how rude some of you are. Congratulations on your awesome house!
U r awesome
Thanks for showing your home , I'm ready to start planning one.
Love that it's maintenance free.
Got to be THE
MOST TWO ORGANIZED PEOPLE,
EVER! LOVE IT!
The hubby got the most SPACE!
Well if that's retiring and downsizing, I'd love to see what they're leaving behind?
million dollar CA home that's worth 75,000 else where?
@ihategooglespooks Sounds like she's from Minnesota.
Pretentious....she's blind to it.
I love the decor of her house, plus so much space
What an awesome place our dream to have a giant shop with a small living quarters all under one steel building bravo 👏
Oh this is so awesome, and I'm so happy to have found out that they have a location here in NC, because my new home is going to be a barndominium
Love your home/Morton building, I didn’t realize all the possibilities of a Morton building.
Pretty cool looking - my husband and I want to check these types of homes out.

Awesome home. This exactly What I have thought about building for a home... I might go with 18 or 20 foot walls to accommodate higher ceilings
Beautiful home! We plan hopefully next year to build a Morton home. Thanks for sharing this.
Did you build?
Aaron nope not yet,
Love this! It's perfect. Any estimate of how much it costs total?
This house is like a big toy box for grown ups and I want one.
I would love to see the actual floor plan for this build. It sounds like they thought about a lot of details for the flow of the layout.
I'm gonna go out on a limb over $275,,000 turn key? But it is really awesome .Is that how much?
Smart building system. Is insurance cheaper? Would be nice to have examples of buildings that are not on concrete. Well, as far as the living space parts.

Love your home . We are looking into a Morton home
Beautiful home/shop !!! Just very very nice !

nice house. love the car collection and building your own furniture. I'm definitely going to shop around tomorrow.
It's be a long time 11years so how is everything ? Your answer would help us. Thank you. Rick Lake George, NY
Nice but where does the down sizing fit in with this type of home? I love the wrap around porch.
They downsized the house part to the one bedroom and the upstairs craft room. They no doubt expanded their garage space, as the structure is almost 3 times as much garage as it is house. The structure is 54' X 102'. The house part of that is only 28' X 54'. This, no doubt, is the husband's dream. He has room for ALL his toys and tools. She has a lot of crafts which makes the house part, since it is so small, comparatively, look cluttered, especially the area around that antique stove.
This is all nice but now let's talk realistically. We need numbers. How much did all this cost you guys in total?
its a lot cheaper to buy a shell and do it yourself i started mine 60x25 from a local company slabe and building was about 18,000 started off with 1 bedroom kitchen/living room and 1 car garage now have 3 bedrooms done it all myself for about 45k not really worth it unless you do 90% of the work.
Game Bred Duramax for a pole barn 😂😂😂😂
Amazing. What is the cost of this home in georgia? Will be building a shop and also a house within next hear. NE Georgia
"we're retired and were wanting to downsize..."
::buys Morton Building::
you did a great job on this.. we are looking to do something like this.. need to find the land first..
What a nice home, thanks for sharing that. Does it have a heated floor or geothermal?
Lane Borrelli a real negative to these types of homes is the lack of natural light and windows, so true passive performance can never be achieved.
Mike H. Come on...No house has natural light until you choose the size and placement of of windows! Think about it
Beautiful home!
Downsize???? The porch overhang is my house.
Beautiful Home..
Just purchased 9 Acres up North Michigan, East of West Branch, want a Barnominium Style
i would LOVE to live in one of these buildings!!
We are planning on building a very similar building in the next two years.
With 16’ sides, can I put an in home theatre and bedrooms?
That is a beautiful home.
I need a 40x60 with two bedrooms and kitchen bathroom and living room. Need 20ft ceilings in the garage must be able to fit 2 vehicles and two snowmobiles and a couple atvs
how much to build ? is it Canada?
Paul Bailey it'll cost about 150k
My guess.. it is Canada
Grand rapids mn
Morton Buildings is from Illinois.
Ellen Gill Morton has a couple locations throughout Minnesota as well.
Thank You!
What areas does Morton build in?
Where is this located
Is there any reasonable price for these homes for less income people?
Una Coburn They are less expensive than stick built houses. Size and options will affect price, as in any house.
Do you build in Virginia ( Chesapeake area. Near nc line)
As long as these are insulated well I have no problem living in one. I think too many watching this think it's just a bare pole barn and nothing else.
What size is that? 60x80
Where does Morton build, in Virginia?
Nice durable homes .
I agree how big was your old house lol very nice house
Gorgeous home.
Probably less than half of a regular home. 🙂🙂🙂❤
How much do they cost do you know?
Love the house, but I'd make mine 3/4 that size.
DOWN SIZE ?
hi, how much did it cost
57,000
Is that the amount for just the Morton outer bldg...nothing added? Set-up?
Probably just the shell
An 1800 square foot home is about $36.00 a square foot/ That does not include land, well, septic tank or interior like cabinets etc. That will cost avg. between $50.00-$100.00 per square foot. I got this info from the Morton Building Material sent to me.

Awesome
Downsizing?
How much does a home like this cost in total?
based on estimates I've gotten, I'd say they have north of a million in this property.
chieftp oh okay. thanks!!
Megan Loves Animals
yeah - not cheap!
I'll cost like 200k
I’m looking at a 60 by 40; the building and pad is less than 40,000. Still looking at interior costs, but planning for kitchen, living room, dining room and master bedroom with en-suite, on first floor, 2 bedrooms, theatre, office and rec room upstairs, and still have room to use. But looking at less than $110,000 finished.
I Love it.
Very nice.
What is the estimated cost?
Joe,
Here is a blog on estimating a cost for a Morton home:
mortonbuildings.com/blog/what-does-a-morton-buildings-home-cost
Looking at the calculator above, the 2 buildings listed as examples, run $45 a square foot for just the buildings. Is that cost for the built on site building or just the cost of the materials? I realize that the interior design is up to the owner, but what about some idea on the interiors. Are you looking at another 50 to 100 thousand to finish it?
That's not a home, it's a museum...
Down size ???
Nd and i love your home
Not a home but a warehouse for possessions. All of that stuff is for show and probably never gets used. From hubby’s shop to her sewing room it reminds me of a museum of curiosities.
So it's a metal sided house attached to metal sided garage?
It’s one huge metal building, finished garage and home.
Geeze...the garage alone is bigger than some service departments in car dealerships!!!
Yeah but the dealerships can fit like 16 cars in them with all the 4 post lifts on either side and 1 hallway to drive down. The guy probably wanted a workshop where he could walk in some 2x4s and not worry about denting his new chevy lol
The husband is a car/trailor/carpenter n gear head. Cool...
Texas Barndominiums does a better job at this kind of home construction, in my opinion, but they only build in the DFW TX area.
What did they downsize from? Trump Manor?
They down sized and got rid of most of their stuff lmfao
What you downsized wow
Very nice, but lots of stuff to dust!
Screw everything down. Use a blower.
Request floor drains and use the pressure washer, blowing dust just settles back down.
What does that have to do with building a barndominium? That's a decorating issue. Their house, their decor.
Teeyo DoubleDee 😆🤣😂
Sweet!
In my India u can make small house in 5500 dollars only
But even I M not able to built
Ok, how much was this? 3 Billion!?
what are you really saving by this building method? If you are framing the walls anyways then it seems like your are doing more in the long run. So just what are you really gaining?

The clutter is mind blowing
mr zed Their house, their choices. Their business.
Downsize......
Where is the downsize. This is a mansion where did you live before, the breakers in Rhode Island
It would have been helpful to hear something about cost. Without that it is just another infomercial with little benefit.
They have nice building but Morton's are expensive
Downsizing!?!?!?
Downsize! SERIOUSLY?
There every day during the build?! One of those annoying customers....
It's their home they can be there every hour if they want, if they are doing their job right then the wouldn't have to worry about it. I bet you are one of those workers who half ass and try to cut corners.

Chevy Rok14 that’s why she wants a bigger house. Women love to hoard.
Who cares. none of your business,
Chevy Rok14 I get what you're saying and I agree but this video wasn't meant to be a representation of things you should do just things that Morton is able to create for you to customize yourself sort of thing.
not nice .. its the building , not her decor
Downsize? Damn lol
Time for a garage sale.
Less talking, more touring...
Ok, what the hell you said down sized? You give down sized a new definition, ok not fooling me!
Looks expensive
This is a garage home and we call you regular homes card board home ...sheet rock and pine wood 😂😂😂😂 just wait till a hurricane meet it
If there is 1000000 dollars in this you can buy a river front mansion where I live for that
I would say less than 200K
I dont think 1 million nothing
And here's the problem, we're never happy, she wants to do it again but larger, if he allows that, in a short time it will be larger or she will let out, no, actually what we had was just right....thank goodness the husband puts his foot down as she mentioned and she is submitting to that, for the good of both of them.

LOL My sister's name is Linda Barnard XD wow...
million dollar home with some of the cheapest appliances and countertops.
IloveBaklava million dollars 😂😂😂
No way that's a million... I had a 65x30 building made with foundation was $26k...without the Sheetrock yet...just wanted it for storage and game room/theater room...but you are right about the appliances...looks like they kept a budget on those.

Million dollar home lmao...it must be in Hollywood.
Massive. Too much to take care of, but beautiful.
U have big house n I don't have no home
Will u built home for me
Interesting home....way pretentious in a mildly passive aggressive way.
50% of the house is a garage. 👎
Perfect !!
Yes, very handy!
Must be nice to be rich.
Vince Bella Jealousy is so unbecoming.
TO MUCH STUFF! Lovely build, but my god. Had an anxiety attack watching. Glutinous way of life, just living for the stuff. More like a Museum than a HOME.
Stop showing off 😞☹️Show a build ❗Show assembly 😀
Great...if you're rich as f--k!
she's greedy
i bet she doesn't even work either.
The guy's working like crazy to pay for all this stuuf.. looks like a walmart..
Jealousy is so unbecoming.
Another richy person’s home!
