Instead of something left over, what about making it part of your home? I built on sloping ground to a lake and did not want the MH bay to stand out from the rest of the house. By making it 4' lower than the rest of the house and using 12' high walls you would not guess there is a 42' DP inside.
That's a beautiful home and property! Having done a little more research it looks like you can easily convert the barn into a home as long as you pour it right the first time?
I'm game for such an approach so long as local codes do no prohibit anything. There appears to be more to this than originally expected as far as securing loans for land vs land + home and all that.
I do like the idea of keeping everything attached. That way, I can still wake my wife up when I crank the Harley!
