Why Build a Custom Home in Anderson
Anderson is the county seat of Anderson County, and it gives you more lot choices than almost anywhere else nearby. In one short drive you can go from established in-town streets to wooded acreage, or west to the shores of Lake Hartwell. I-85 runs along the north side of the city, so Greenville and Clemson are both an easy drive away.
Craft Homes builds custom homes in Anderson and across Anderson County, on every kind of lot the area offers. Most of our Anderson clients come to us with a clear idea of how they want to live: a main-level primary suite, a big covered porch, a shop for the boat, or room for family to stay. A custom home lets you build around those priorities instead of settling for what someone else designed.
Building on Your Lot in Anderson County
Through our On-Your-Lot program, we build your custom home on the land you choose. Around Anderson, each kind of lot raises its own questions:
- In-town lots: check the setbacks, the utility connections and any neighborhood covenants before you design.
- Lake Hartwell lots: we build on Lake Hartwell lots. The shoreline below the 660-foot contour is federal land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a private dock needs a Corps Shoreline Use Permit. We can help you navigate that process, and it pays to check dock eligibility before you buy.
- Rural acreage (toward Townville, Starr or Iva): we build on well-and-septic land. Without public sewer, you need a septic permit from the SC Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) before the county will issue a building permit. Soil tests can affect where the house goes.

Call About Your Lot“We Could not ask for a better builder that's paid close attention to details… You made the process so easy from picking out paint colors to lighting fixtures, a piece of cake.” Bill S. · Built with Craft Homes in Pendleton
Designing a Home for Anderson Living
A lake lot often calls for a home that faces the water: a wall of windows on the lake side, a walk-out lower level where the lot slopes toward the shoreline, and a garage deep enough for a boat. An in-town lot usually needs a different approach, with a welcoming front porch and a footprint that fits the street. On acreage, you might want a detached shop, a long front porch or room to add on later. We design around the site you actually have.
How We Build Your Home
It starts with a phone call about your vision, preferences and budget. Next, we design the home with you, either customizing a starting design or drawing something new from scratch. Once construction begins, we keep you informed and involved, and we finish with a final walk-through so you can be sure everything meets your expectations.
Areas We Build Near Anderson
Besides the city itself, we build across Anderson County, including Pendleton, Williamston, Powdersville and Piedmont, as well as Belton, Townville, Starr and Iva. See every community we serve on our Areas We Serve page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build on a Lake Hartwell lot near Anderson?
Yes. We build on Lake Hartwell lots. If you want a dock, the Army Corps of Engineers' Hartwell office decides whether one can be permitted on that stretch of shoreline, and we can help you navigate that process. Check before you buy, since not every lot qualifies.
Do I need to own land before I call?
No. Many people call while they're still looking. We can help you think through lot options in and around Anderson and coordinate with your realtor.

Our office is at 1217 Hembree Rd in Williamston, also in Anderson County, a short drive from Anderson.
