When the farm changes hands in your family, don’t go through the hassle and cost of renovating the old farmhouse. Refresh and update your property with modular homes that are constructed in an off-site factory and delivered for the finishing touches to be applied on site.

Farming properties often pass from generation to generation, but what if the retiring parents want to remain on the property once they have handed over the reins? And does the original residence function to support its new inhabitants or whether would it need updating? Many farming properties have old, tired buildings that have been passed down over generations and not been given the upkeep they require. The question is, do you look to renovate or do you rebuild and start over?

We all know that farming is an occupation that does not leave much time for overseeing extra work. There are also significant costs, and often hidden costs, involved with renovating and extending. Did you know that in many cases it can actually be more expensive than rebuilding? What if you could have your dream home built for you, in our factory with little disruption the already busy farm life? You wouldn’t need to move out of the old farmhouse while your new home is being constructed. Plus, the factory build is a more efficient and faster process than traditional on-site builds, and provides more cost certainty. 

A new home will add further value to your property both functionally and aesthetically and future-proof your farm. You also have the flexibility of selecting a home that will for you now and into the future. You may want a bigger home that can accommodate aging parents or your growing family. Or perhaps you only need a smaller home, with less maintenance for your retiring parents. Whatever the case, our modular homes can be custom designed to suit your needs.
