Custom Home Builders in Asheville, NC

7 local businesses listed

Building on a mountain lot is a different project than building on a flat one, and the difference shows up long before framing. Steep-slope sites bring engineered foundations, retaining walls, driveway grades that have to work in ice, and septic and well questions if you’re outside city services. Buncombe County has steep slope requirements that shape what’s possible on a given parcel, and an experienced local builder will walk the site with you before you’re under contract rather than after.

The builders listed here work in Asheville and Arden. Some focus on high-performance and energy-efficient construction, which pays off in a climate with real heating and cooling loads in both directions. Others specialize in traditional mountain homes and view lots.

Ask to see a house they built five years ago, not just the one they finished last month. Mountain sites are unforgiving of shortcuts, and five years is about when the shortcuts start showing.
