Citrus County Custom Home Builders

Your Dream Home in Citrus County Starts Here

Citrus County is a hidden gem on the West coast of Florida. Although its country seat lies in Inverness, Citrus County proudly boasts Homosassa Springs, home to a world famous state park that attracts manatees during the warmer months. With a mixture of natural wonders and small towns dotted around the West coast beaches, Citrus County truly does have something to offer for everyone!

Curington Homes builds custom homes throughout Citrus County — Inverness, Homosassa, or Crystal River, our team brings that same local experience to your project.

Why Build a Custom Home in Citrus County?

1. The Heart of Florida's Nature Coast

Citrus County is the Nature Coast — more than 70 natural springs, the Gulf of Mexico, and the only place in the country where you can legally swim with manatees. From Crystal River to Homosassa, it's an outdoor lifestyle that's hard to find anywhere else in Florida.

2. Waterfront & Gulf Access

Along the canals and bays of Crystal River and Homosassa, you'll find lots with private docks, boat lifts, and direct Gulf access. We design custom homes that make the most of the water — boating, fishing, and sunset views right from home.

3. Lakes, Trails & Small-Town Charm

Inland, Inverness — the county seat and "City of Lakes" — sits on the Tsala Apopka chain, with the Withlacoochee State Trail and historic towns like Floral City nearby. It's relaxed, scenic living with room to breathe.

4. Golf & Gated Communities

Citrus County is home to some of the area's best golf and gated living, including Black Diamond Ranch, Citrus Hills, and Sugarmill Woods. We build custom homes designed to fit each community's standard.

5. Acreage, Equestrian & Room to Roam

From the equestrian community of Pine Ridge Estates to multi-acre parcels with no HOA, Citrus County gives you space for a barn, a workshop, a pool, or simply privacy. A custom home lets you take full advantage of your land.

6. Built Around You, Not a Catalog

Building custom in Citrus County means your home is designed around your land and your life — whether that's a waterfront lot, a golf community, or acreage in the country. Every detail reflects your vision, not a production floor plan.
