Tennessee is known for its soulful country music, sipping sweet tea on the wraparound porch, and the scent of Nashville hot chicken. Add a touch of Tennessee Whiskey, and you’ll have a good time. These things make up the Southern charm. Just add a sweet Southern belle calling you “hun,” and you’ve completed the whole picture.

The home couldn’t have been completed without its builders. Meet Patrick and Mary of Hatcliff Construction, they’re renowned for crafting dream homes for over 30 years. Their dedication and hard work have earned them a 15-year spot in the Southern Living Custom Builder Program.

This custom Hatcliff home sits upon a 60-acre paradise showcasing the beauty that Williamson County has to offer, seamlessly integrating home and nature. No square inch is wasted with this thoughtful design, which offers panoramic views and tranquility.

This sustainable smart home features 12 Phantom retractable motorized screens blending indoor and outdoor living, keeping pests, debris, and pollen out. The screens are mounted to the lower-level sleeper porch space and lower patio off the billiards room and on the home’s top terrace. This allows the homeowners to expand their indoor/outdoor living while creating a functional and comfortable entertaining outdoor space for year-round use.

Get ready for an unforgettable journey into Southern comfort. The 2023 Southern Living Idea House in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, welcomes Southerners and comfort seekers alike to experience the South’s soul.
