Home Builder in Dahlonega

Custom home building, basement finishing and renovations in Dahlonega and Lumpkin County.

Dahlonega is the gold-rush town turned college town and wine country, and the ridges around it, toward Suches, Cleveland and the Chestatee River, are filling with homes for people who want the mountains with a real downtown fifteen minutes away.

Building in Lumpkin County

Lumpkin County lots range from pasture and vineyard land to steep forested slopes. We settle access, drainage, well and septic before the design is final, build walk-out levels into the plan where the grade allows and handle county permitting and inspections. Covered porches and outdoor living are nearly universal requests here, and we build them to last.

Dahlonega is about an hour from Ellijay. If you are planning a build there, call and we will come walk the property.

Good to Know

Building in Dahlonega: common questions

Can you build on a steep mountain lot?

Yes, and most of our lots are. Walk-out basements, retaining walls, driveways and drainage are designed into the plan from the start rather than solved on the fly.

Do you help with land, wells and septic?

We will walk a lot with you before you buy it and tell you what it will take to build there, including well, septic, driveway and clearing. A cheap lot is not cheap if it costs a fortune to prepare.

How do you handle budget and changes?

You get an itemized budget with allowances for your selections. Changes are priced in writing before they happen, so there are no surprises at the end.

Who will I deal with?

John. He runs the job, walks the site and answers the phone. That is the point of working with a small builder.
