Build With Us
Sunset Farm Estates gives you the freedom to build a true custom home — with a preferred estate builder or one of your own — guided by architectural standards that protect every family's investment.
Two Ways to Build
However you choose to build, every home is held to the same shared standard of quality and design.
Prefer a guided experience? Our preferred builder program connects you with estate builders who know the community, the covenants, and the approval process — so design and construction move smoothly from first sketch to move-in day.
Are you a builder interested in joining the program? We'd love to hear from you.
Already have a trusted custom builder? You're welcome to bring them to Sunset Farm Estates. Your builder submits exterior plans to the Architectural Committee for approval, then builds to the same standards as every other home in the community.
We're happy to walk your builder through the guidelines and submittal process.
The Build Process
A clear, four-step path from choosing your homesite to breaking ground.
Select an available lot and reserve it through our team. We'll share the covenants, planned-development guidelines, and homesite details so you can plan with confidence.
Work with one of our preferred estate builders, or bring a trusted custom builder of your own. Either path is welcome — every builder simply follows the same standards.
Your builder develops exterior elevations, site grading, and material selections, then submits plans to the Sunset Farm Estates Architectural Committee (SFAC) and the City of Spring Hill.
Once SFAC and the City approve your exterior plans, construction can begin. The review protects your investment and the character of every home around you.
Architectural Standards
Sunset Farm Estates follows planned-development guidelines established with the City of Spring Hill. These highlights give builders and buyers a sense of the standards; the recorded covenants and guidelines govern in full.
Minimum finished square footage by style — for example, a ranch requires at least 2,000 sq ft on the first floor, and 1.5- and 2-story homes require 2,400 sq ft total. All homes include a full basement.
Stucco, stone, brick, and approved premium wood sidings are permitted; front elevations require a minimum of 25% stone, brick, or masonry. Hardi Board and EIFS are not permitted.
Each residence includes a minimum three-car garage, with any additional bays oriented to the side. Garage doors are decoratively paneled and painted to match the home.
Roofs are tile, slate, or 30-year premium asphalt shingles in Weathered Wood or Black, for a cohesive, high-quality streetscape across the community.
Driveways are concrete, with stamped, textured, or colored finishes permitted. Fencing is decorative black metal, subject to SFAC and City of Spring Hill approval.
One detached accessory structure of up to 1,200 sq ft is permitted, matching the primary home's colors and materials and accessed from the main driveway.
Standards summarized here are for general guidance and may change. Complete requirements — including setbacks, grading, and material details — are set out in the community's governing documents and are subject to SFAC and City of Spring Hill approval.
