JPC Custom Homes

Drywall is wrapping up next week on this Long Lake home!

This property offers one of the best combinations of convenience and privacy we've seen. Located less than a mile from Orono High School, yet tucked deep into the woods, it feels like a private retreat while still being minutes from everything the area has to offer.

A perfect location. A beautiful setting. A custom home designed specifically for the way our clients live.

The A family settled into their Lake Sylvia home over the weekend!

Nestled among mature trees with stunning lake views, this home blends rustic charm with modern functionality in a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Thoughtful details, natural materials, and inviting gathering spaces make this home the perfect place for creating memories for years to come.

Featuring:
• 4,646 finished sq. ft.
• Custom barnwood bunk room
• Manomin Resawn Timber beams and millwork
• Phantom retractable screened outdoor living space
• Vaulted kitchen/dining area and lofted living spaces designed to capture lake views and natural light

FAQ Friday 🏡

“What costs more: a rambler or a two-story?”

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in custom home building, but in many cases, ramblers cost more per square foot to build.

Why?
Because they typically require:
✔️ A larger foundation
✔️ More concrete
✔️ More roof area
✔️ A larger footprint overall

Two-story homes can often be more cost efficient per square foot because they stack living space vertically instead of spreading it out horizontally.

That said — every lot, floor plan, finish package, and design choice impacts the final budget. That’s why we build budgets around your home instead of relying on generic square foot pricing.
