Key Features of a Country-Style Home

1. Spacious Porches for Outdoor Living

Wide front and back porches create the perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Ocala’s beautiful scenery. They also enhance curb appeal and add to the timeless charm of this home style.

2. Open Floor Plans Built for Family Life

Country-style homes often feature open, flowing layouts that make gathering, cooking, and spending time together effortless. These designs maximize natural light and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere

3. Classic Roofing & Exterior Materials

Gabled or metal roofing combined with natural materials—such as wood, stone, and board-and-batten siding—give these homes a durable structure and a signature rustic look that stands out in Florida landscapes.

4. Warm, Rustic Interior Details

Exposed beams, shiplap accents, and large windows bring warmth and character to the interior. These elements create bright, comfortable spaces with a cozy country feel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What defines a country-style home?

Country-style homes are designed to feel warm, welcoming, and closely connected to the outdoors. Architecturally, they often feature spacious porches, gabled roofs, dormer windows, and natural or neutral exterior materials like siding, brick, or stone. Inside, you’ll typically see open-concept living areas, generous kitchens that act as the heart of the home, and cozy design details such as wood accents, shiplap, or exposed beams.

More than anything, a country-style home is about lifestyle: relaxed, family-focused living with plenty of space for gathering, entertaining, and enjoying the land your home sits on.

 

Country-style, farmhouse, and rustic homes share some similarities, but there are subtle differences. Farmhouse design is often more simplified, with clean lines, black-and-white color schemes, and practical layouts inspired by historic farmhouses. Rustic style tends to lean heavily on raw wood, stone, and a more lodge-like aesthetic.

Country-style homes usually sit between the two: they often have the warmth and character of rustic homes, combined with the comfort and livability of farmhouse design. You’ll see porches, gables, and relaxed interiors that feel timeless rather than overly modern or ultra-rustic. With a custom build, you can pull in elements from each style to create the perfect blend for your taste.

 

Every home we build is based on a fully custom floor plan. We do not use pre-drawn or “cookie-cutter” plans. Instead, we start by learning about your lifestyle, your land, and how you want to use each space in your home. From there, our team designs a layout specifically for you—taking into account things like porch placement, room sizes, traffic flow, natural light, storage, and any special spaces you need (home office, hobby room, in-law suite, etc.).

This custom approach ensures your country-style home doesn’t just look right—it lives right for you and your family.

Some features show up again and again in the best country-style homes because they make everyday living more comfortable and enjoyable. These typically include a large front or wrap-around porch, an open kitchen and living area for gatherings, generous windows for natural light, and practical spaces like mudrooms or drop zones near entries.

Inside, many homeowners love adding a fireplace, built-in shelving, and warm finishes like wood floors or exposed beams. On the exterior, gabled or dormer roofs, board-and-batten or lap siding, and inviting entryways help define the country look. With a custom build, you can decide which of these elements matter most and how prominently they appear in your design.

Country-style homes are especially well-suited to larger lots, acreage, and properties with natural surroundings, but they can work beautifully on standard residential lots as well. On larger properties, the home can be oriented to highlight views, add deeper porches and outdoor living areas, and include detached garages, barns, or workshops.

On more modest lots, we focus on smart use of space—designing a footprint that fits the property while still featuring key country elements like a welcoming front porch and an open, airy interior. During the site evaluation, we’ll look at your land’s shape, slope, access, and views to determine the ideal placement and layout for your home.

 

The timeline can vary depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the design, and site conditions, but a general guideline is:

Design and planning: Several weeks to a few months to finalize plans, selections, and permitting

Construction: Often in the range of 6–12 months from the start of building

Custom homes take longer than production homes because everything is tailored to you—floor plan, finishes, and features. Our goal is to keep the process organized and transparent, with clear communication at each stage so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

 

You’ll be involved at every key decision point, but you won’t be left to figure things out on your own. In the early stages, we’ll ask questions about how you live, what you like, and what you need—then translate that into a custom floor plan and overall design concept. During selections, you’ll choose finishes with our guidance, and throughout construction we keep you updated on progress, milestones, and what’s coming next.

Our goal is to make the process collaborative and enjoyable: you bring the vision and preferences, and we bring the expertise, structure, and craftsmanship to turn that vision into a finished country-style home that feels uniquely yours.
