For more than 50 years, Curington Homes has built custom homes across Central Florida — and we’re proud to bring that experience to Dunnellon. Set where the spring-fed Rainbow River meets the Withlacoochee, Dunnellon offers something few places in Florida can: crystal-clear waters, the natural beauty of Rainbow Springs, and an unhurried, outdoor way of life. Whether you’re dreaming of a riverfront retreat, a luxury estate on acreage, or a classic Florida home for your family, our in-house design and build team will craft a home that fits your land, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Dunnellon sits at the confluence of the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers, a rare setting that puts kayaking, tubing, boating, and fishing right outside your door. It's a town built around the water and the outdoors.
Just upriver, Rainbow Springs stays a constant 72 degrees year-round, feeding the crystal-clear Rainbow River. Living in Dunnellon means having one of Florida's most beautiful spring-fed waterways as your backyard playground.
Along the Rainbow and Withlacoochee, you'll find properties with private docks, river access, and quiet water views. We design homes that make the most of waterfront lots—boating on the weekend, fishing, and sunset views from home.
Inland, generous lots and multi-acre parcels—many with no HOA restrictions—give you space for a pool, a workshop, a barn, a guest house, or simply privacy. A custom home lets you take full advantage of whatever lot you choose.
Whether it's elevating for river views, orienting living spaces toward the afternoon sun, or designing an outdoor kitchen built for the climate, your home is shaped around how you actually live in Dunnellon.
Building custom in Dunnellon means your home is designed around your land and your life—not pulled from a catalog of production floor plans. Every detail reflects your vision.
We offer a personal touch, working with you to design a home that meets your dreams, needs, and desires. We have in-house designers and draftsmen to help design and build your custom home from the ground up. Get a custom home crafted for your family’s unique personality and goals.
Building a custom home involves thousands of details, but we’ll take care of organizing and scheduling all of these, ensuring it’ll get done right, on time, and within your budget. We’ve personally built over 1000 homes since 1972 and have long standing relationships with fantastic subcontractors and material vendors.
A Curington home means a quality home, which starts from the ground up. We combine our 50+ years of homebuilding experience with your vision to make your dream home a reality. This level of experience has given our team the knowledge and know-how to build your home to extremely high-quality standards that, in many ways, highly exceeds standard code requirements.
We stand behind our homes with a 10-year structural warranty through “2-10 Home Buyers Warranty”. The 2-10 HBW also includes a one-year workmanship warranty for things such as roof covering, cabinets, flooring, paint, and more, plus a two-year systems warranty for items such as plumbing, electrical, and mechanical. You can feel confident knowing your home is protected for a full 10 years!

Yes. Our roots are in Ocala and Marion County, where we’ve built for more than 50 years—with over 1,000 homes completed across Central Florida. Dunnellon sits in southwestern Marion County, well within our service area, and every home is fully custom and built on your lot.
Absolutely. Most of our Dunnellon clients build on their own land—whether it’s a riverfront lot, a wooded parcel, or acreage outside town. We start with a site evaluation to determine the ideal placement and design for your property.
Yes. We design homes that take full advantage of riverfront and water-view lots along the Rainbow and Withlacoochee—proper elevation, dock and outdoor-living integration, and layouts oriented toward the water—while meeting Florida’s flood and construction requirements.
Cost depends on the size of the home, finishes, and your lot’s conditions (riverfront, acreage, well/septic, clearing, and elevation). The best first step is a consultation, where we’ll align your vision with a realistic budget before design begins.
Design and planning typically take several weeks to a few months, and construction generally runs 6–12 months depending on size, complexity, and site conditions. We keep the process organized and transparent at every stage.
We build fully custom homes in a range of styles, including luxury, craftsman, country, farmhouse, and ranch, plus specialty additions like pool houses, in-law suites, and custom barns.
Yes. If you haven’t purchased your property yet, we can help you evaluate potential lots—whether it’s a riverfront parcel or acreage inland—so you know how a site’s elevation, shape, and access will affect your build before you buy. Our affiliate, Curington Realty, can also assist with finding the right property in the Dunnellon area.
Absolutely. Every Curington home is engineered to meet or exceed Florida’s building and wind-load codes, and on riverfront lots we pay close attention to proper flood elevation. We can also integrate features many Dunnellon homeowners ask for, like impact-rated windows and whole-home generator systems, for added peace of mind during storm season.
