Our Niche is Your Advantage
What clearly separates us from other exclusive builders is that we design and build high-quality, lake-front and luxury homes at very competitive prices. In a market where many builders and sellers get low appraisal prices, our homeowners receive strong resale value, and their homes appraise much higher than other area homes.

Consistently competing against Michigan’s highest-priced builders, our homes are far more competitive in the premier neighborhoods. We also honorably stand behind our warranty.

Lake Building

We provide guidance in selecting properties and lots and advising as to the building envelope size and the merits of differently-shaped lots. One of the most critical aspects of designing a waterfront home is optimizing the views in the most important rooms of the house.
