Why Build a Custom Home in Pendleton
Pendleton is one of the oldest towns in this corner of South Carolina, known for its historic Village Green, tree-lined streets and close-knit community. It sits in Anderson County right next to Clemson, with Lake Hartwell nearby, so you get small-town character within easy reach of the university and the water.
We've built in Pendleton, and we know how much homeowners here care about a home that feels like it belongs on its street.
Building on Your Lot in Pendleton
With our On-Your-Lot program, we build on the land you choose. Building in Pendleton has a few local steps:
- Town review first: inside town limits, new construction starts with the Town of Pendleton's building permit request. After the town approves it, Anderson County issues the building permit.
- Design review on certain streets: properties on Mechanic, Queen or Greenville Street, and in the town's overlay districts, may need approval from the Design Review Board before a permit is issued. The board looks for designs that respect the neighborhood. It doesn't require a particular style.
- Water and sewer: in town, utility letters come from the town's public utilities. Outside town, we build on well-and-septic land, which needs an SCDES septic permit.

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 New Home with Pendleton Character
A new home in Pendleton can have everything you want inside, from an open kitchen to a main-level primary suite and modern systems, while still looking right on a historic street. A full-width front porch, traditional rooflines, real brick or stone, and windows sized like those on older homes nearby all help a new house fit in. Out in the county or near the lake, you have more freedom with style, and the focus shifts to views, outdoor living and privacy. Either way, the small choices matter, from paint colors to light fixtures, and we'll help you make them.
How We Build Your Home
We start by listening to what you want, then design the home with you, down to the paint colors and light fixtures. During construction we keep you informed and involved, and we wrap up with a final walk-through. Read more from our homeowners on our Reviews page.
