We are going with an Ivy too and also need that under A/C extra storage and have thought about more closet space and another half bath. If we are going to add one thinking a splash pool or cocktail pool nothing too big and all the sales agent could say is a small pool would fit. Congrats on your dream home sounds terrific! |

Anyone know the base price for a Mossy Oak?

One of or neighbors in Osceola Hills bought a new Mossy Oak last year for $270K. Before their house was built, the lot was on sale for $5K.
I don't know how many upgrades came with the house. |

You only have 90 days from signing lot contract to design, then about 90 days to build (they give you a closing date at the end of design). You should know the model you want to build BEFORE buying the lot. That way your agent and design team will let you know if your model fits on a specific lot. Initially design said our model would not fit on our lot, but our agent tilted the house slightly and showed it would fit with a golf cart garage and bumping out 2 guest bedrooms. So know the model, golf cart garage, and any bump outs before buying lot. Then your agent can show you lots that will fit what you want. The design is a multi day process that requires about 12 hours or so, depending on how long it takes you to decide. We spent Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning doing most of the work. A few hours on Wednesday looking at finishes we were using in various completed homes. And then Friday looking at final drawings and signing the contract. We probably spent about 10% more than we wanted due to the upgrades we wanted (countertops, flooring, lighting, bump outs and lanai extension).

Wish there was a way to review at least some of the choices prior to the meeting. Looking through Iris homes online and saving photos of things/colors I like. |

I guess design is stacked up if they are now giving 120 days from purchase to design. The more you can do upfront on what you want in the house the easier the design process will be.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I just finished my design meet. Never building a house before or really thinking about little decisions that have to be made, at times it was overwhelming but basically it was fun. Excited to start the build July 22 and will have occupancy October 21
Thanks everyone for your input. I just finished my design meet. Nerve-racking at times but overall a fun great experience. Looking forward to the final product. Build starts July 22 occupancy October 21. I see light at the end of the tunnel!
