Transform Your Lot into a Private Oasis
December 23, 2024
Are you dreaming of building your perfect home in a neighborhood but concerned about maintaining your privacy? Privacy is one of the most desirable features in a new build, and we believe that a sense of seclusion can be achieved without sacrificing the perks of neighborhood living.
Positioning Your Home
Carefully positioning your home on your lot can reduce sight-lines from neighboring houses and busy streets to create a natural buffer. Setting your home further back from the road or angling it slightly can provide an immediate sense of seclusion. Inside, thoughtful window placement to minimize exposure to neighbors and maximize views of green spaces will balance privacy and natural light.
Landscaping for Beauty and Seclusion
Landscaping can be a powerful privacy tool to create separation without disrupting your home’s aesthetic. Tall hedges, fast-growing trees like arborvitae, or layered landscaping with fencing, trellises, and decorative screens can shield your home from prying eyes. Hardscape elements like retaining walls, pergolas, and privacy screens also help to create a secluded environment while adding stylish architecture to your outdoor spaces.
Consider Investing in a Second Lot
For those seeking an unparalleled level of privacy, purchasing a second lot offers so many possibilities. A second lot provides more room for extended landscaping, outdoor gardens or pools, or even the option of building a guesthouse for hosting company. Beyond privacy, owning extra acreage increases the uniqueness of your property, making it a smart move for your lifestyle and financial future.
We believe privacy should never come at the expense of comfort or style. When you combine thoughtful lot selection with expert planning, you’ll create a home that feels like a retreat.
