Custom Home Construction in Taft and Southern Lincoln County
Taft sits in southern Lincoln County, just north of the Alabama state line, in some of the most accessible rural building territory in our service area. Marberry Construction is based in Fayetteville, the Lincoln County seat, less than 15 miles from Taft. This is not an area we travel to from a distant market. Southern Lincoln County is home territory, and the Taft area is where we have worked for years on custom builds, septic installations, and roofing projects.
The Taft area offers something increasingly valuable: rural land on the corridor between Fayetteville and the Huntsville, Alabama metro, at prices that still reflect rural Lincoln County rather than the growth pressure that has hit Madison County to the south. Families who need proximity to the Huntsville employment corridor but want land, space, and the ability to build exactly what they want are discovering that southern Lincoln County gives them all three.
The drive from Taft to Huntsville takes roughly 40 to 45 minutes depending on the specific destination. For workers at Redstone Arsenal, Cummings Research Park, or the broader Huntsville technology and defense corridor, that commute is manageable and the value of building in southern Lincoln County is substantial. Land that would cost a premium inside Madison County is available in the Taft area at rural Lincoln County prices.
Marberry builds on your lot. No developer, no subdivision, no preset floor plans. We start with your land and your vision. Brandon Marberry oversees every build personally from the first site visit through the final walkthrough. There are no project managers between you and the person responsible for building your home.
Building on Your Lot Near Taft Tennessee
New construction in the Taft area goes through Lincoln County. The process requires a building permit from the Lincoln County Building Department and, for rural lots without sewer access, a separate septic permit through the Lincoln County Health Department. Most properties in southern Lincoln County are not connected to municipal sewer, which means the septic system is part of the build plan on virtually every rural project we do in this area. We handle both permits and manage the full submission process.
Soil conditions in southern Lincoln County near Taft vary depending on the specific property. Some lots on higher ground have good drainage and are straightforward to build on. Properties at lower elevations or with heavier clay content require more attention to foundation design and drain field sizing. We walk every lot before finalizing a design and build plan, accounting for your specific site rather than making generic assumptions about the area.
What we handle on every build:
- Custom floor plans designed around your specific lot
- Full permit management through Lincoln County
- Site preparation and foundation work
- Framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing in-house
- Metal or shingle roofing included
- Workmanship warranty on every home
"Taft sits right on the corridor between Fayetteville and Huntsville. Land here is still priced like rural Tennessee."
Custom Home Costs Near Taft TN
Custom homes in the Taft area typically run $175 to $275 per square foot depending on finish level, lot conditions, and design complexity. Total project budgets typically range from $300,000 to $1,100,000 not including land. Most clients in this area are in the $350,000 to $600,000 range for a full custom build. We provide a detailed line-item estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises during the project.
Southern Lincoln County land prices remain affordable compared to Madison County, Alabama, despite the proximity. Families who need Huntsville access but do not need to pay Madison County land premiums are finding real value in the Taft area. A custom build here delivers acreage, a home designed the way you want it, and a total project cost that compares favorably to buying a production home inside the Huntsville metro.
Serving Taft and Surrounding Communities
Lincoln County is our home base and we know the terrain and permit process in every part of the county. The southern corridor around Taft sits between our Fayetteville headquarters and the Tennessee-Alabama state line at Ardmore. We work throughout this corridor regularly and our familiarity with the land, the county building department, and the soil conditions in this specific part of Lincoln County means our clients do not pay the learning curve costs that contractors new to the area inevitably create.
Taft is also positioned within a short drive of Ardmore and the northern reaches of Madison County, Alabama. For clients building in this area who also need to navigate work across the state line, we are the contractor who knows both sides of the border without having to learn either system for the first time on your project.
