We Raise the Bar for Custom Homebuilding in Northeast Florida
When it comes to building your dream home, settling for ordinary is never an option. At Tidewater Homes, we believe luxury custom homebuilding should be an experience defined by creativity, transparency, and excellence—from the first sketch to your first step inside. We are proud to serve St. Johns County, Duval County, and the entire Greater Jacksonville and Northeast Florida region as one of the area’s most trusted names in luxury custom home construction.
Initial Consultation and Homesite Selection
Our journey begins with a discovery meeting. Whether you have a homesite in mind or need help finding one, we work closely with you and local real estate professionals to locate the ideal property—especially in luxury neighborhoods like RiverTown, River Landing at Twenty Mile, or Glen Kernan. Visit our Build On Your Lot page to see how we help homeowners leverage their own land.
The Home Design Studio Experience
Central to our homebuilding design process is our custom Home Design Studio. This space was created to make your selection process both inspiring and stress-free. We offer fully custom home design, semi-custom floorplans. Our experienced designer will guide you through curated selections.
