Introducing Backyard XL
We’re proud to unveil Backyard XL, our latest ADU model that makes it easy for homeowners to add more flexible living space to their existing properties. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the luxe 800-square-foot home provides ample space with larger appliances, and premium amenities.
Backyard XL is designed for comfort and functionality, offering a blank canvas for whatever you may need—be it a guesthouse, home office, or rental unit. The new unit includes:
- An open, airy living room and kitchen ideal for entertaining
- A suite of full-size electric appliances, including a next-gen induction cooktop and panelized dishwasher
- A complete laundry work area with a stacked washer and dryer, plus storage for supplies
- Spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
- Sanctuary-like en suite and shared bathrooms with storage
- Customizable double doors and Western red cedar decks
Mike McNamara, Samara co-founder and CEO, said:
“Like all of our units, Backyard XL is designed, engineered, delivered and installed by Samara. Thanks to our competitive financing option, we've opened up the opportunity for millions of homeowners in California and beyond to realize the full potential of their homes.”
As ADUs continue to skyrocket in popularity—1 in 5 houses built in California last year were ADUs—we’re committed to building more units in a way that helps people lead fuller lives.
