Location Flexibility
Purchasing land and building a custom home unlocks the possibility of living where you want in the home that you want. With a custom build, you can choose your lot size and location. You can decide how far away you want to be from neighbors. You can have easy access to in-town amenities while still having space to spread out when you choose communities like Golden Gate Estates in Naples.

Privacy
Designing your home on a large lot will allow you to have privacy and space from neighbors. Gulfstream Homes can help you strategically position your custom home on your lot to maximize privacy.
Customization
When you work with a professional to design a custom home, you have control over every aspect. You can personalize every detail to suit your lifestyle and preferences. Do you want a large master suite with a walk-in closet? Maybe you’d like a hidden room that adds a little magic to your home. You can begin to realize all your dreams for your floor plan by discussing them with your contractor.
Potential
Having extra land means down the road you can expand your homes footprint. Without having the restrictions of an HOA or other established community guidelines and rules you can add a guesthouse, pool, garage and other outbuildings. Having the flexibility to accommodate long term lifestyle plans means you can choose to become a car collector, buy a boat or build an in-law suite down the road without having to move or rent storage space.
Warranty and Maintenance
Your custom home will have many warranties that protect you from costly defects and repairs. And because most, if not all, of your appliances will be brand-new, you’ll have very little maintenance for the first few years.
