Our region

Home Builders for Western North Carolina

Buckingham Builders designs and builds custom homes in Asheville, Buncombe County, McDowell County and Lake James, including lakefront homes in the Arbor subdivision. Our office is at 21 Mayfair Dr in Candler.

Wherever you build, the land comes first: we look at the topography, views, sunrise and sunset, and the cost of the foundation, driveway, septic and well, then design a home that fits.

Where we build

  • Lake James

    Arbor subdivision · McDowell County

    Lakefront custom homes. On the water, the frontage, the views and the slope down to the shoreline decide where the house sits and how it is designed, so we evaluate the lot with you before you buy or commit to a plan.

  • Asheville

    Buncombe County

    Custom homes in and around the city, on mountain, view and wooded lots, where the site work can matter as much as the house.

    “During the construction of 2 Residential Homes in Haw Creek Asheville, NC the Contractor and his Sub Contractors were very helpful and offered practical solutions…”

  • Buncombe County

    including Candler and Weaverville

    Our office is in Candler, and our two newest homes are in Buncombe County: a new build on a wooded lot in Candler and a craftsman-style home with a walk-out lower level in Weaverville.

  • McDowell County

    east of Asheville

    Custom homes across McDowell County, including view and lakefront lots around Lake James. We help clients find land here, too.
