Custom Homes
If the search for dream home is taking much longer than you expected and you feel like you have exhausted all the resources then take a moment to consider the option building your own custom home.
Really, all you need is a lot, money and a builder and a plan.
The Lot
This something that again comes down to budget but the lot topography and location are something that you will eventually have to consult with your builder and architect about. becarefule to avoid future drainage issuses etc. Usually all these problems can be addressed but its best to know ahead of time roughly how much these site refinements will cost.
The Design
This is something that you can spends days, weeks and years working on. At this point try and and find a builer that will work with you and help you through the initial design and lifestyle process. At The Ashton Real Estate Group we have years of experience with builders at all levels and will be happy to match you with some great local builders.
Location
This is another feature that will be something that becomes important to you based on a number of factors. Resale is something to consider if you don't see your self living out your fianls days in this house. Whats perfect for you may be a big stumbling block when it comes to selling your home. For instance not many people have a pet giraffe that they like to feed from the bedroom in the middle of the night...so think about that when you install that funky leaf shoot to the giraffe stall....just off the master ;)
