Tired of cramped closets, musty carpets, and outdated fixtures? It might be time to move.
As a home shopper, you have two options: buy an existing home or build a brand new one. Building on-your-lot is an excellent option for anyone who’s tired of living within the confines of other people’s designs. Why not start fresh?
In this article, we’ll delve into what it means to build on-your-lot by answering our three most frequently asked questions.
A builder that specializes in on-your-lot construction builds a home on a lot that you already own. They’re also known as semi-custom home builders. It’s a great way to get a brand new home on your own terms.
If the lot you own already has a home on it, you can tear that home down and build something from scratch. You might own a lot that’s not yet developed. In this case, the builder will work with you to set up all of the applicable utilities and building permits before starting your new home.
Don’t own a lot yet? Consider looking into buying a lot in development like the new home community at Hidden Reserve in Brandon, FL. Sabal Homes built this community as a quaint alternative to larger, master-planned communities.
If you already own the land, that’s one less step you must take to build your dream home. You won’t have to go through the paperwork that comes with buying a piece of land.
Tearing down or moving an existing home to build something new means you’ll spend less money prepping the land for building. Odds are good that you’ll already have the correct utilities in place for the new home, and you might save some time and money on landscaping and excavating when you build on-your-lot.
Building a new home on an existing lot is a great way to add value to your land. Most people don’t want to go through the process of building on a lot so you’ll see an incredible return on investment. Sabal Homes specializes in high-quality, customizable homes that can create instant equity in a property.
Look at your builder’s resume. Do they have plenty of experience doing on-your-lot construction? Can they provide you with a large portfolio of homes to review?
Sabal Homes has been building homes in the Brandon, FL area for over 40 years. We’ve worked with thousands of happy customers and have a portfolio full of homes for you to check out.
Ask the builder about floorplan options. Some builders have just a few floorplans that they work with and they won’t allow homeowners to deviate much from those plans. At Sabal Homes, we offer both fully custom and semi-custom on-your-lot construction options to adapt to your needs.

On-your-lot building is a great way to repurpose a vacant property for a new home, replace an outdated home, or significantly increase the value of your property. Here in Brandon, FL, where the community is growing by the day, on-your-lot building is an opportunity that makes more sense than ever.
However, there are many different avenues to take when seeking to build on your own lot, some of which will be more restricting than others. Below, we discuss how a semi-custom luxury home builder can free up different aspects of your life and allow you to focus on what’s really important. If you’re looking to build on your lot in Brandon, look no further than Sabal Homes, a trusted name in the community since 1976.
All too often, people see an empty plot of land and decide to sell it as-is rather than hassle with the investment of building on the property. Think of it like this: when purchasing a vehicle, would you rather buy an empty frame or a brand new model? Most people don’t want to buy something that needs to be invested in further, and home buying is no different. If you’re looking to make significant money on your land, there’s nothing like a semi-custom home to spike the value.
Even better, if you’re looking to move into your newly constructed home, you’ll be making an investment that will hold its value for a lifetime. Whatever you’re looking for in a new luxury home, we have a wide array of options that are sure to accommodate your needs.

Once you’ve decided to build a luxury custom home on your land, you have two routes: fully custom and semi-custom. Initially, the concept of building your home from scratch may seem attractive. You can just tell them anything you want, and they build it, right? Unfortunately, it’s far more complicated than that. Fully custom home building is an extremely tedious and intimidating process. You have to decide everything that goes into your custom home. That can take many long hours, forcing you to make decisions that may have little to no impact on the home’s final design.
That’s where we come in. As semi-custom home builders, we have a portfolio of home designs ranging from 3,185 to over 4,685 square feet. As with every Sabal home, you can personalize yours with structural and interior design options. We do all of the heavy lifting when it comes to designing a home, allowing you to make all of the important decisions in the customization process.

When picking the right luxury home plan, you must be cognizant of how much square footage you need. Too many Brandon luxury homes waste square footage by blocking off home sections with useless corridors and hallways. At Sabal Homes of Florida, we embrace open floor plans. One of our most popular options, the Cayman design, features a great room that connects directly to the nook and kitchen, creating a large, inviting, and versatile living space for family and friends to gather and enjoy each other’s company.
In addition to an open floor plan, the best Brandon luxury homes allow for privacy no matter how many guests are being entertained. Don’t settle for a home design that lumps every bedroom together in what is sure to be a chaotic part of the home. Look for a home design that will be a sanctuary under any circumstance.
Our stunning, two-story Gulfview series is excellent for either those who work from home or the reader in all of us who wants to get away. This design features a den and library combination that is located off the main foyer. An additional in-law suite ensures that no one desiring peace and quiet is left without refuge. And with the master bedroom on the first floor, this design is superb for parents during the night.
No single floor plan is going to fully provide for the needs of every client. The floor plan you decide on should exhibit an array of customizable options. If your heart is set on a certain number of bedrooms and baths, then don’t compromise. You shouldn’t have to alter your expectations for a floor plan. The floor plan should change for you. Our multi-award winning Tradewinds series offers anywhere from 4-7 bedrooms and 4-6 baths. With its formal dining room, outdoor living areas, and three-car courtyard garage setup, it’s no wonder why this is the Sabal Homes signature showcase home.
