Meet the Finalists
1. Modern Hobby Barn with Basketball and More
| Half basketball court, half workshop — this two-story barn is built for both hosting and getting things done. The upstairs loft brings a full kitchen and living room right above center court, while the opposite side houses a spacious garage for equipment and projects. It’s proof a barn can be just as much about game night as it is about parking the tractor. | At a glance:

2. Versatile Barn: Ideal for Guest Accommodations
| Built to complement the main house, this barn pairs a big garage and workshop with a full guest suite — kitchen, living area, bedroom, and two bathrooms — just steps from the front door of their primary residence. An open loft upstairs adds even more flexible space for guests, hobbies, or overflow storage. It’s a great example of one structure doing double duty. | At a glance:

3. open-concept home featuring natural light design
| This home proves timber frame and modern design go hand in hand. A full wall of windows floods the open floor plan with natural light, while soaring ceilings and exposed timber keep the space feeling warm rather than cavernous. At just 24′ x 36′ with a loft above, it’s a compact home with an outsized personality. | At a glance:
|
4. charming home with exposed timbers
| Exposed timbers and rich wood finishes give this home instant character. Downstairs you’ll find an open living area, a den library lined with built-in shelves, and a dedicated home office; upstairs, a peaceful loft bedroom overlooks it all. Add a spacious covered porch made for morning coffee or evening dinners, and it’s easy to see why this one’s a finalist. | At a glance:
