Custom Home Design | Swain County, NC

The Rupp Home is a custom design build, single family home. Carved out of the forest, this will be a dream, retirement home.

Working with the clients to customize their dreams, we are well into the construction phase with hopes of completing it by years end.

We had to overcome a few obstacles to get it this far. What seemed like four months of rain in this year’s first quarter proved to be an exercise in diligence and endurance. Then had to overcome underground unknowns like hard blue granite and freshwater springs during the foundation stage. Not to be the end of the challenges, Covid-19 arrived, resulting in road closures to the site, fears of personnel and material and labor shortages.
