Barndominiums & Custom Homes in Maynardville, TN
Maynardville is the Union County seat, about 25 miles from Rutledge, near Norris Lake and Big Ridge State Park. We build barndominiums and custom homes on the rural and wooded land here.
Maynardville is the seat of Union County, about 25 miles from our Rutledge shop, in the hills north of Knoxville near Norris Lake and Big Ridge State Park. It is rural and wooded country, with land that runs along ridges and down toward the water. Sunrise Builders 4 LLC builds barndominiums and custom homes here, with timber frame porches and entries that suit a place built around the land.
A barndominium fits Maynardville well. On a cleared hill or a wooded lot, a barndo puts a wide, open interior behind a simple metal shell, and a heavy timber porch out front gives it a home instead of a shed. We build the timber for those porches and entries here in Grainger County and bring the frame to your lot ready to raise.
Barndominiums on rural and wooded land
A barndominium is a metal shell finished out as a home, and in Maynardville that pairs well with the rural and wooded lots of Union County. The build is general: the shell goes up, the interior is finished out, and the porch and entry timber is where the craft shows. We design and cut the timber frame porch and entry to the barndo, so the front of the home has the heavy timber character that turns a barndo into a place you want to come home to. How the rest of the build comes together depends on the lot and the plan.
Custom homes with timber porches
For homeowners who want a stick built home instead of a barndo, we build custom homes with timber frame porches, timber accents and covered outdoor living. A heavy timber porch on a custom home in the Maynardville hills frames the view down the ridge and gives the entry real presence. We work in exposed timber so the frame is the feature, stained to sit naturally against the woods. The porch becomes the part of the house that gets used morning and evening.
Timber that fits the hills
Union County land is rarely flat. Lots near Norris Lake and Big Ridge State Park run up and down, and a porch or a barndo entry has to be planned for the grade. We look at the slope, the view, and where the home sits on the lot, then design the timber to land on footings set for the grade. The stain is picked to read against the trees. The result is a timber frame that looks like it grew out of the hillside rather than one dropped on top of it.
How a Maynardville build starts
It starts with a call to the builder. We talk through your land, whether you are planning a barndo or a custom home, and the porch and entry timber you want. We lay out the spans and joinery, cut and drill the timbers in the Rutledge shop, and stain them in the finish you choose. When the frame is ready, it goes to your prepared footings to be raised. The cutting and staining happen off site, so a wooded Maynardville lot does not turn into a sawmill.
Good to know about rural and hillside lots
Rural and hillside lots in Union County need planning before the cut. Footings on slope, clearing for the raise, and access for lifting timbers all factor in, and we talk through site prep early. We work by appointment and take on residential projects only, one at a time, so the builder scopes the lot and the plan with you directly. The earlier you call, the more we can shape the build around the land instead of working around it.

What is a barndominium?
A barndominium is a metal shell finished out as a home. The build is general: the shell goes up, the interior is finished out, and the porch and entry timber is where the craft shows. We design and cut that timber to the barndo.

Both. We build custom homes with timber frame porches and accents for homeowners who want a stick built home instead of a barndo. The heavy timber porch is the common thread either way.
