Living large takes on a new meaning in Tipton County’s Lochmeade, an upscale development where you’ll find low taxes, reputable schools and homes that range in size from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet of heated space.
Lochmeade’s prime example of “living large” literally is the model home at 489 Colton Ridge. Built by Southern Custom Homebuilders, it encompasses four bedrooms and 31/2 baths in 4,692 square feet of living space.
“One of the covenants of Lochmeade is that no two homes should look the same,” said David Topham, Merge Realty sales agent for Southern Custom Homebuilders. “This home is so unique with so many features that it easily fulfills that requirement.”
Topham says he enjoys giving guided tours of this two-story, all-brick model home with its numerous attractions like the large upstairs media room, separate game room with wet bar, formal dining room with beamed ceiling, master bedroom suite and island kitchen.
He also likes to bring visitors in through the home’s impressive front entrance — over the stone porch, through the 8-foot iron front doors and into the two-story entry foyer.
But he admits his favorite locations in this home include the family living space — the convenient kitchen, breakfast nook and comfortable hearth room complete with a hand-carved mantle — the game room and media room with its 105-inch projection screen and reclining, massaging chairs, plus the master suite that features a large 16-by-17-foot bedroom, two large closets, a walk-through shower with two shower heads, his-and-her vanities and a whirlpool tub.
“Once people come inside this home, they realize the care and quality that has gone into its construction,” Topham said. “I’ve worked with Rodney Simmons, owner of Southern Custom Homebuilders, for 11 years, and it didn’t take me long to understand that building a quality home and satisfying his customers were his two main priorities.”
Simmons says he has built his reputation as a quality homebuilder “one home at a time” over the last 16 years here in the Mid-South and is proud of the fact that his company, Southern Custom Homebuilders, was named as the top homebuilder in Tipton County for 2008 by a readers’ poll in a local newspaper.
“We try to put the customer first — their needs and desires,” Simmons says. “We know they want a quality home, so that is where we place our emphasis during construction. We also know they want a home they can love, so we build home designs like we are going to live in them ourselves. But we know that this is not a perfect business, so should a problem arise, we address it in a timely manner.”
