How We Help

At Hewn Custom Homes, we understand that building your dream home starts long before the foundation is poured—it starts with finding the right land. Whether you’re looking for a wooded retreat, a spacious lot in a family-friendly neighborhood, or acreage just outside the city, our team is here to help you secure a property that aligns with your vision.

From raw land to tear-down opportunities, we simplify the process of acquiring, evaluating, and preparing land so that your build gets off to a strong—and seamless—start.

1. Land Search & Selection

Our real estate experts work to identify lots that meet your needs—location, size, budget, and lifestyle goals.

2. Site Evaluation

Once we’ve identified promising options, our team will assess each lot’s buildability, ensuring your chosen site is a smart investment and well-suited for your vision.

3. Seamless Transition to Building

After you’ve secured your land, we transition smoothly into the design and build phases—handling everything from permitting to construction with clarity and care.

What to Know When Buying Land for a Custom Home

Choosing the right property is about more than location. Here’s what we help you assess:

Survey the Land

Understand exact boundaries, easements, encroachments, and topographical challenges before purchase. We’ll coordinate licensed surveyors to guide this process.

Verify Utility Access

We’ll help you determine what utilities are available—or need to be added—including electric, water (public or well), sewer/septic, and internet.

Confirm Zoning & Permitting Requirements

Our team checks with local jurisdictions to understand zoning restrictions, subdivision rules, building setbacks, and what’s required to secure permits.

Budget for Land Prep

Clearing trees, connecting utilities, and grading a site can impact your budget. We’ll help you create a clear, realistic scope before you commit.

Align Land Choice with Your Home Design

The property should work with—not against—your goals. Our design team evaluates each lot to ensure we can deliver a home that suits both your lifestyle and the land.
