Acadian Farmhouse

The Carroll Family

Our Personal Acadian Farmhouse: A Home Built on Experience and Passion

This home is a deeply personal project, crafted with love and shaped by over 15 years of experience in the homebuilding industry. Inspired by a previous home we built for the Hebert family early in my career, my wife and I always admired the timeless design of that home.

What makes this home truly special is how we've incorporated advanced energy-saving practices, a result of the expertise we've developed over the years. Despite being 3600sf of living space, our electric bills are comparable to those of our previous 1500sf home—showcasing just how effective these sustainable features are.

The Acadian Farmhouse style comes to life with beautiful wood and brick accents, complemented by a warm, neutral color palette. We are especially proud of the thoughtful touches throughout the home, such as the expansive outdoor kitchen, the serene passive steam shower, and the cleverly concealed pantry, each adding to the overall appeal and functionality.

Robert Carroll
Homeowner & Builder

"This home represents our dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful — just as we do for all our clients. We started with a similar floor plan and made adjustments to meet our specific needs, creating a custom space that truly reflects our style and the lessons learned throughout our journey."

IMPORTANT LOAN CONSIDERATIONS

Your budget is the foundation for every other decision you will make while preparing to build a home because it provides context for what is possible. Most people attempt to answer the question of “What is my budget?” by simply deciding how much they would be comfortable spending. Unfortunately, while this is a crucial part of the process, it ignores the rest of the picture. We advise our clients to answer the following questions in the order below. However, if you are self-financing the project, skip to question #3.

1. How much will a financial institution lend me?

This sets what we refer to as your Maximum Loan Amount.

2. What type of loan will I need?

This is where many people get confused because if you ask the wrong questions when interviewing lenders, you’ll get vastly different answers. We recommend reviewing the information in this article on the loan type you will need before meeting with your lending candidates.

3. How much am I willing to spend?

Just because a lender is will to lend up to your Maximum Loan Amount, this does not mean you will be willing to borrow and spend that amount. Consider the monthly payments as a starting point and adjust your Budget amount from there. Your chosen lender can help you with this.

4. What can I reasonably expect to build for what I am willing to spend?

This answer will come from a qualified builder during your preliminary meeting. Be prepared to discuss your budget so that the builder can help you get a better idea of what size home to design to meet your goals.
