About This Community
The right home begins with the right relationship between the floor plan and the homesite. Here, the two are considered together, creating opportunities to make the most of views, natural light, outdoor living, and the spaces you’ll use every day. Choose from eight thoughtfully designed floor plans, including single-level designs like the Aspen and Cromwell and two-story homes like the Dahlia and Danbury. Each offers its own approach to open living, gathering spaces, private retreats, and everyday functionality, giving you the flexibility to find a home that complements both your lifestyle and the setting you choose.
Inside, Destination Homes brings together beautiful finishes and thoughtful details, with quartz or granite surfaces, JennAir appliances, Pella Impervia windows, and spaces designed to feel connected, comfortable, and distinctly yours. From morning light in the kitchen to evenings spent enjoying the view from home, every choice works together to create a home that feels naturally at home in its surroundings.

Homeowner Stories
Our forever home is a masterpiece of taste and elegance. Destination Homes took our dreams and made them a reality! Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. The team listened to our needs and made sure everything was perfect and it certainly shows in the pride of craftsmanship. The elegant touches throughout from the hidden pantry to the live edge counter on the basement island are a testament to their thoughtful craftsmanship and design. We couldn't love our home more.
If you are looking for a builder that delivers excellence, quality and integrity, look no further than the team at Destination Homes. You will not be disappointed.

GREAT BUILDER!!!
We just completed our new home with Destination Homes. The entire process was great. DJ is very hands on. The communication was great and he was quick to answer any questions that we had. Building our house for the first time seemed a little overwhelming but DJ walked us through everything and helped us with selecting interior and exterior finishes. I have been in construction for 15+ years and the finishes Destination Homes uses are above and beyond.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Destination Homes!!

Jumped into our first “Forever Home” with Destination. DJ with Destination Homes was awesome and was even pointing out things he wanted to address at the final walk through. The simple things like recessed from the floor cabinets, ball bearing door hinges, and islands with cabinets and storage on both sides were upgrades built into the price that made this house extra special. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision.
