Yankee Barn Homes

About Yankee Barn Homes

Yankee Barn Homes has been designing and manufacturing post-and-beam homes since 1969, when founder Emil Hanslin envisioned a new approach to timber construction using large prefabricated components. Now based in New Hampshire, the company's signature style combines the warmth of exposed timber framing with contemporary open-concept floor plans, creating homes that feel both timeless and modern. Yankee Barn's proprietary True Panel System features factory-built wall and roof panels with structural framing, sheathing, insulation, and pre-installed windows — enabling homes to be erected in just five to ten days once components arrive. Their designs adapt traditional New England barn architecture into comfortable, light-filled residences. The company serves clients throughout the eastern United States and offers both catalog designs and custom modifications.
