Featured Builder: Highland Homes

There’s more to a home than a beautiful floor plan. There are things you don’t see, like energy efficiency features that save you money and Wi-Fi connectivity that speeds you along the information highway. Can you have both? Yes, if you choose to build with Highland Homes.

Highland makes energy-efficient construction a priority. The builder uses the latest industry-leading construction techniques, appliances and technology to ensure that your new home is far more energy-efficient than existing homes.

Why is this important? Because an energy-efficient home saves you money. Highland estimates that one of their homes can save you $100 a month on utility bills, which totals $1,200 a year or an incredible $36,000 over the length of a typical 30-year mortgage. And that makes a Highland home a smart buy.

Highland homes are smart for another reason — a home automation package that comes standard with every home they build. These features make it even easier to be in charge of your home — from a Honeywell Thermostat that controls temperature and humidity to a Kwikset Electronic Deadbolt that ensures you will never be locked out of your home again. Pre-installed USB ports located in the kitchen and master bedroom are incredibly convenient for charging your phone or tablet.

The reason Highland offers these things is simple — the company is 100 percent employee-owned, which means they understand what modern families need. They aren’t motivated by outside investors. What motivates everyone from your sales counselor to your construction manager to your warranty manager is the joy you feel when you step inside your beautiful new home.

Highland Homes’ 10 designs in Lago Mar are priced from the $250,000s. Homes range from  1,586 to 2,600 square feet and boast island kitchens, luxurious master suites and two-car garages. Even better, they are located in our beautiful community!
