Private Estate Developer Nashville
An Integrated Approach to Building Timeless Estates
More Than a Home.
A Legacy in the Making.
We don’t simply build homes. We compose places of permanence. Whether your vision calls for long views, wooded stillness, or the quiet rhythm of open pasture, our team understands how to uncover, evaluate, and shape the land—laying the groundwork for something far greater than a structure alone.
Land made livable, beautifully.
It Begins with a Vision. We Build What That Vision Demands.
There is a moment—quiet but unmistakable—when a piece of land speaks to you. The way the trees fall into light. The silence between fence lines. The curve of a distant hill that feels like it was waiting for your home.
This is where legacy begins. Not in the square footage or the finishes, but in the intention.
At Hewn, we partner with a select few each year to bring these visions to life—not just as custom homes, but as fully realized, private estates. Residences of architectural permanence. Landscapes shaped to reflect their owners’ values. Properties that will never be replicated, because they were never meant to be.
A Full-Scope Estate Partner
Whether you’re seeking land or ready to build, we guide every phase with intention and expertise.
A Place That Reflects You
Why Hewn
Our background isn’t in speculation. It’s in stewardship.
As the founders behind the development of over 4,000 homesites across Middle Tennessee, we bring decades of experience not just in custom homebuilding, but in engineering, infrastructure, and land mastery. It is this foundation that allows us to build beyond the boundaries of traditional custom work—into estates that are expansive, complex, and lasting.
We design and build:
-
Primary residences anchored in place, proportion, and permanence
-
Guest homes, equestrian barns, orchards, pool houses, and courts—all in architectural harmony
-
Private roads, utility infrastructure, water and storm systems, thoughtfully engineered and executed
-
Sites that respect the land and enhance it—never imposing, always becoming
Whether you arrive with your own architect or are seeking one who understands the language of estate architecture, we will collaborate as stewards of your vision, your time, and your land.
Access. Expertise. Restraint.
What makes an estate possible isn’t always visible. It’s knowing how to walk a piece of land and understand its promise. It’s unlocking access to off-market acreage in Franklin, Leiper’s Fork, Brentwood, College Grove, Thompson’s Station, Columbia, or the Nashville area before it ever reaches the public. It’s a team that can not only build the home—but install the road, plan the drainage, and preserve the view. This is not speculative construction. It’s composed, cultivated, and quietly confident.
For a Few.
Not for All.
Our estate program is designed to serve a small number of clients each year. Not to create urgency—but to protect excellence. When you build with us, you are not one of many. You are one of few. Our team will become the keeper of your vision, the steward of your land, and the partner that quietly ensures every piece is placed with precision.
