Barndominiums — or “barndos” — are gaining serious traction across rural Tennessee, especially in scenic areas like Beech Grove, Readyville, and the countryside surrounding Rutherford and Cannon Counties. But what makes these hybrid barn-style homes so appealing, and are they the right fit for your property?
At Reed’s Remodeling, we’ve helped homeowners across Middle Tennessee design and build custom barndominiums that deliver the perfect blend of functionality, rustic style, and modern comfort.
Here’s what you need to know before breaking ground.
🏡 What Is a Barndominium?
A barndominium combines the open, durable shell of a barn with the interior comforts of a modern home. These steel or wood-framed structures are fully customizable, often combining:
-
Living quarters
-
Workshops or garages
-
Storage areas
-
Loft space or multi-level living
They’re especially ideal for rural lots and larger properties where multi-use space is a must.
🌳 Why They Work in Beech Grove, Readyville & Beyond
These areas are known for their wide-open land, fewer zoning restrictions, and a strong tradition of craftsmanship. That makes them perfect for barndominiums, which thrive in:
-
Open fields
-
Wooded lots
-
Agricultural properties
-
Hobby farms or homesteads
And with more homeowners prioritizing peace, privacy, and practicality, barndos offer a smart and stylish solution.
