Custom Home Building for World Golf Village property owners
Every custom home building job we run in World Golf Village gets scoped on site first. We cover the whole of World Golf Village: the World Golf Hall of Fame, International Golf Parkway, and everything in between. Around World Golf Village that generally means golf-course homes, gated community properties and lanai and pool enclosures.
What makes World Golf Village its own case is straightforward. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system, and on top of that, no natural waterfront — retention lakes and course drainage define what can be added at the rear of a lot.
What World Golf Village homeowners run into
Building in World Golf Village means building inside somebody else's plan. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system, and altering that grade for a custom footprint has consequences for the shared stormwater system. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top — which in practice means the architectural committee sees your elevations before the county does, and their material and color requirements are frequently narrower than code.
There's a second thing worth knowing about building in World Golf Village: 1990s-2010s community housing, tightly governed, where outdoor living upgrades are the dominant project type. It changes what we expect to find once we start, and therefore what we're willing to quote before we do.
Permits for that go through St. Johns County Building Services. Knowing which office reviews what — and how long each actually takes — is part of what you're hiring us for.
None of that is exotic. It's just the difference between an estimate written for World Golf Village and one written for anywhere.

What actually drives the cost
We won't quote a number sight unseen. These are the factors that move it, so you can see where your project is likely to land before we ever walk the property.
- Utility distance
- Power, water and sewer runs are priced by the foot. A homesite four hundred feet off the road carries costs a road-frontage lot does not.
- Specification level, not square footage
- Cost per square foot is a useless planning number on custom work. The same footprint varies enormously by window package, roof material, ceiling detail and cabinetry.
Working in World Golf Village.
We build custom and semi-custom homes on World Golf Village lots where setbacks, impervious-coverage limits and design guidelines define the envelope. Golf-course homes, gated community properties and lanai and pool enclosures surround most sites. The work is fitting genuine custom quality inside a framework that was written to keep everything looking similar.
Because we're based in Keystone Heights, World Golf Village and its neighbors get worked together: St. Johns, Nocatee, Switzerland and St. Augustine are all on the same rounds.

Will my HOA in World Golf Village approve a custom design?
Usually, within limits. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. We look at the specific covenants before design, because finding out at review that your roof material or window profile isn't on the approved list costs weeks. In World Golf Village the committee approval is the real gate, not the building permit.
What should I budget for custom home building in World Golf Village?
It depends on the site more than on the square footage. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system, and no natural waterfront — retention lakes and course drainage define what can be added at the rear of a lot, both of which move the number materially in World Golf Village. We quote after a walkthrough, free of charge.
Do I need a permit for custom home building in World Golf Village?
In most cases yes, and it goes through St. Johns County Building Services. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. We pull the permits and handle the agency coordination as part of the job — you shouldn't be the one working out which office reviews what.
How soon can you start a project in World Golf Village?
We can usually get out to a World Golf Village property within a week for a walkthrough. Actual start dates depend on permitting through St. Johns County Building Services more than on our calendar — we'll give you a realistic timeline for your jurisdiction rather than an optimistic one.
Do you actually travel to World Golf Village?
Yes, regularly. We're based in Keystone Heights and St. Johns County is core territory for us; St. Johns, Nocatee and Switzerland are all on the same routes. (352) 478-6112 gets you a site visit.
Do I need to own land before I talk to a builder?
No, and it's often better if you don't. We'd rather look at a parcel with you before you buy it than explain afterward why it needs eighty thousand dollars of fill.
How long does a custom home take?
Typically ten to sixteen months from permit to move-in for a standard custom home, plus the design and permitting time in front of it. Site conditions and jurisdiction drive most of the variation.
