Custom Home Builder in Carlton, Oregon

Building in Carlton

Carlton's building environment is defined by its small-town character and surrounding agricultural land. Most custom home sites are on the edges of town or on rural parcels accessed from the network of county roads winding through vineyards and filbert orchards. Yamhill County land use regulations govern most builds here, and we're experienced with the conditional use permits and setback requirements that come with building near farm-zoned land.

Carlton builds often emphasize connection to the landscape — covered porches, outdoor kitchens, and material palettes that complement the agricultural setting. Lot sizes tend to be generous, giving homeowners the space for detached shops, gardens, or guest cottages alongside their primary residence.
