What Does It Cost to Build a House on Your Own Land in Florida?

A new Red Door home on land you already own starts at $169,967 and runs to $440,367 for the base home, depending on which of our 23+ floor plans you choose. On top of that, site development averages about $45,000, and that figure includes a well and septic system where there is no central water or sewer. It varies with your lot.

What goes into the price of a build on your lot?

An on your lot build has three parts, and only the first is a fixed, published number.

• Base home price. $169,967 to $440,367 across 23+ plans from 600 to 2,757 square feet, with options priced up front.
• Site development. Clearing, pad, driveway, utilities, and well and septic where needed. About $45,000 on average, and it moves with the lot.
• Permits and county requirements. These differ by county, and we confirm yours in your written estimate before you commit to anything.

We provide site preparation at cost, with no upcharge on top. That matters more than it sounds, because site work is where on your lot budgets usually move.

What is included in the base price?

Every Red Door home is turn key from day one. The base price includes quality appliances, an energy efficient HVAC system, cabinetry, flooring, and a monolithic slab foundation. Options are priced up front, so choosing an upgrade never turns into a surprise later. If your property calls for a different foundation, your builder evaluates the site and walks you through the choice.

Does the price include the land?

No. Every figure above assumes you already own your homesite or are buying it separately. If you are still looking, we can point you to local land resources and evaluate a property before you buy, so you know what it will take to build on it.

How do I get an exact number for my property?

Two free steps: a land evaluation that confirms your plan fits your lot and captures what the site needs, and a written cost estimate built from that. Together they turn the averages above into one number for your address.

Why do costs vary so much from lot to lot?

• Access and clearing. A wooded lot with no driveway costs more to prepare than a cleared one.
• Utilities. Central water and sewer costs less than putting in a well and septic system.
• Soil and elevation. Fill, compaction and drainage all move the number.
• County requirements. Permitting and site rules differ by county, which is why we confirm yours before you sign.
