Building Further Out Could Mean a Savings in Land Cost
At Ron Lee Homes, we will build you a new home or a new, custom home either on a subdivision lot or on your own lot. Or, we can build your new home with a floorplan that you designed. Or we can design your floorplan as well as build your new home from the ground up. If you are interested in building the home of your dreams, but you don’t have a lot or a floorplan, national trends are starting to show that rural
lots and developments will help new home buyers save money on the cost of the land on which they are planning to build their new homes. These lots and neighborhoods are considered rural, but they still may be located very close to small retail shopping centers or even distributed between grocery stores and large shopping areas which may be as much as 5 – 10 miles away.
There are several subdivisions in St. Tammany Parish right now that have affordable lot costs, are located a little farther away, but are very close to shopping and dining on the I-12 Corridor. These communities include the following: Bedico Creek Preserve (located off of Hwy. 1085 off of 1077), Maison du Lac (located off of Bootlegger Rd. off of Hwy. 21), TerraBella Village (also off of Bootlegger Rd. off of Hwy. 21), and Eagle Landing (located off north on 1077 above Madisonville). All of these communities offer lots for sale as well as new homes for sale built buy quality builders in St. Tammany Parish. Ron Lee Homes builds homes in Bedico Creek, Maison du Lac, and TerraBella Village.
Keep in mind that when you are purchasing a new lot, there are several requirements to consider:
- Decide on the square footage of your new home, and if you do not already have a floorplan, make sure that your new home floorplan design will fit within those square footage requirements.
- If you already have a floorplan designed, make sure the “footprint” of your floorplan will fit proportionately on the lot you are interested in buying.
- If you don’t know how to fit a floorplan to your lot, consult with your builder to help you decide if the lot in which your are interested will be a good fit for your floorplan.
Ron Lee Homes has been in the home building business in St. Tammany Parish for over 20 years. We have built “spec” homes (where the buyer can pick out carpet, tile, and cabinet colors), semi-custom homes (already designed floorplans with minimal changes by the home buyer), and fully custom homes. We have built a portfolio of homes ranging in square footage from 1,800 – 10,000 square feet. We are experts in determining how your home will be positioned on your lot. We will even go through a detailed “sitewalk,” which includes marketing out the footprint of your home and choosing the trees that you want to keep – if you happen to have a lot with a lots of trees!
So, when you are ready to purchase your land, and you may consider buying a lot that is more rural, Ron Lee Homes can guide you every step of the way from your lot selection and floorplan design to the final home building process.
