Resort Custom Homes

What Resort Custom Homes does

Resort Custom Homes is a privately held custom residential construction company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving high-net-worth homeowners seeking bespoke residences in Upstate South Carolina resort and lake communities. Founded around 1999, the firm has accumulated more than 25 years of experience in design-build delivery, and its portfolio spans premium developments including Palmetto Bluff (Moreland Village, Wilson Hayfields, Lake Bales), Lake Keowee (The Reserve, country estates), and the Cliffs communities (Keowee Springs, Keowee Falls, Springs). The company also performs renovation work, exemplified by the Spalding Farms renovation project.

The firm operates as an integrated design-build platform, combining land planning, architecture, interior design, craftsmanship, and construction management under a single team. Key personnel include Partner Matt Vogt (construction and finance), architect Tom Markalunas, project manager Kevin Roesch, and interior designer Leighann. The business model is project-based, one-time custom home construction, with quote-based pricing determined by project scope, design complexity, and materials. There is no revenue recurrence, no subscription or licensing model, and no public pricing. Marketing is conducted primarily through a Houzz-powered website and through client referrals and testimonials from past homeowners in named communities.

The customer base is concentrated in a single high-net-worth persona: discerning owners seeking private retreats in lake, golf, and resort communities. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, with no dealers, franchises, or third-party sales channels. The company operates exclusively in the Southeastern United States, relying on local trade relationships and suppliers such as Burchette & Burchette Hardwood Floors. The firm is independently owned by its partners, with no outside investors, no parent company, and no disclosed institutional capital.
