Southvine Homes

What Southvine Homes does

Southvine Homes LLC is a privately held, family-owned homebuilder founded by Alex and Courtney Tetterton, operating exclusively in the state of Georgia across three regional submarkets: North Atlanta (Duluth, Sugar Hill, Cumming, Johns Creek, Suwanee, Tucker), Athens, and Lake Oconee (Greensboro). The company constructs and sells new single-family homes and townhomes through dedicated community sales centers and model homes, with pricing typically clustered in the high $300s to mid-$600s depending on plan and community. Its portfolio includes named floor plans such as the Berkshire, Cambridge, Murphy, and Oxford (single-family) plus the Pinewood and Smithwood (townhomes), with accessibility-oriented features like stepless entry, zero-entry showers, and main-level bedrooms targeting empty-nester and active-adult buyers alongside young and growing families.

The company's core technology is its in-house architectural drafting capability, which has produced all of its floor plans for over 20 years without purchasing off-the-shelf designs. Plans are engineered for intentional walk patterns, outdoor-indoor integration, and natural-light optimization based on accumulated customer feedback. Construction emphasizes durable, low-maintenance, energy-efficient materials, with warranty coverage administered through 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (1-year workmanship/materials, 2-year systems, 10-year structural). The company maintains preferred-lender partnerships with Ameris Bank and Capital City Home Loans that offer up to $15,000 in closing-cost incentives to Southvine buyers, embedding financing into the sales workflow.

Southvine generates revenue through one-time home sales at closing, with incremental optional revenue from buyer-selected upgrades and customizations during the build. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via model home visits by appointment, supplemented by an MLS-integrated website with community pages, photo galleries, floor plan library, and online listings. The company has sold out four communities to date (Windsor Bluffs 55+ active-adult in Cumming, Creekstone at Lavista in Tucker, Harbor Club at Lake Oconee, and Ellsworth in Johns Creek), and is actively selling or launching three new ones (Riversong townhomes in Duluth, White Street in Sugar Hill, and Lakewood in Athens). Ownership remains entirely with the founding family; there is no external equity, debt issuance, or institutional backing disclosed in the data.
