Cost to build a barn?

$50k probably isn’t too far off for a 69x100 pole barn with concrete floor. Does it have electrical?

It is ~5 years old, does have electrical (400 or 500 amp service I think). Probably ~20' tall at the sides.

69k

Wood construction in Louisiana building it the way they did 100 years ago, 140 years.

not sure what value to place on the barn

I would place the value at what you would pay for a barn and what cost of barn you would 'need', not what it costs to build what's there. How much of the barn would you actually use? How big of a tract of land is this? I'm saying it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy a barn say 4X bigger than you need for full price.

People build crazy shite all the time on their land and then try to sell the land plus the value they paid for the crazy shite they built. When in reality there's virtually no market for that crazy shite so it sits forever on the market.

What I'm saying is that if this is in like 30 acres and no one would have use for that size barn on 30 acres then it's not really worth what they paid for it.

Now if this is on 300 acres and would be very useful to most people that buy 300 acres that's a different story.

Easily over $100,000 to build new especially with electrical in it. It cost me nearly $500 to run lights and outlets in a 12'x20' shed. Electrical and plumbing get expensive REALLY quick. Any plumbing/bathrooms?

Update- I saw the barn yesterday and it doesn't have a concrete floor, it's gravel with the exception of the edges which are concrete. Also probably ~1,000 square feet of semi finished office space in the barn. But not at all up to code, lots of work that would have to be done to make it usable office space.
