In the West Indies plan, the primary suite is your personal retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bathroom and a roomy walk-in closet. Gone are the days when laundry feels like a chore! This plan offers direct access to the home’s laundry space, eliminating the need for endless back-and-forth trips across the house. For guests and other family members? Two additional bedrooms ensure they feel right at home, each with easy access to the home’s two-and-a-half other bathrooms. A flex room stands as an ideal fourth full bedroom, office, or hobby nook – empowering you to customize the home of your dreams!
Breezy Outdoor Living
Now, let’s chat about outdoor living! The covered lanai is a no-brainer spot for spending all your free time. A cozy fireplace, warm ceiling heaters, and an outdoor kitchen are the perfect finishing touches for those ideal coastal evenings. Imagine grilling fresh seafood while the sun sets or enjoying a quiet evening with loved ones by the fire. And with a garage that accommodates three vehicles (including your golf cart!) and easy attic storage, you’ll always have plenty of room for all your beach gear, holiday decorations and everything in between.
Ranging from 2,300 to 3,800 square feet, the West Indies ranch plan offers something for everyone. Home sweet coastal home is just a key turn away, whether you’re looking for a cozy retreat or a spacious family home. These homes were made with modern, beachside living in mind.

They decided to switch to Richard Wallace Builder mid-construction, a significant step that ultimately proved invaluable.

Lot Selection & Evaluation
Still searching for your perfect lot? Richard Wallace Builder can help you find the ideal piece of land in a prime location that aligns with your vision. Our experienced team will meticulously evaluate your chosen lot, assessing its potential and identifying any necessary site work to ensure a smooth and successful building process. Whether you have a specific location in mind or need assistance in finding the perfect spot, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Lot Consideration
You have the lot but where it sits has a lot of influence on your future home! Designing with the land means harnessing its natural beauty to create a home that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. For a beachfront property, this might involve orienting the home to capture panoramic ocean views from key living spaces. Imagine waking up to the gentle rhythm of the waves from your bedroom window or enjoying your morning coffee while gazing out at the horizon from your kitchen sink. By thoughtfully considering the site’s unique features, we can create a home that not only complements its setting but also enhances your daily experience.
Key Considerations for Lot Owners
Before breaking ground, several factors must be considered. The size and shape of your lot will influence the type of home you can build. A sloping lot may require additional engineering and landscaping. Local zoning laws dictate building codes, setbacks and permitted uses. Ensuring that necessary utilities like water, sewer and electricity are available or can be easily connected is crucial. Understanding the soil type is vital for foundation design and landscaping. Environmental factors like flood zones, wildlife and potential hazards can also impact construction and future living.
Design & Customization
Collaborate with Richard Wallace Builder’s skilled architects and designers to bring your dream home to life. Whether you start with one of our thoughtfully designed floor plans or share a unique vision, we’ll work closely with you to customize every aspect. From selecting materials that reflect your personal style to choosing the perfect finishes, you’ll have the opportunity to make informed decisions throughout the entire process.
Navigating the Building Process

Richard Wallace Builder is committed to keeping you informed throughout the entire custom homebuilding process. From the initial design phase, where you’ll collaborate with our talented architects, to the exciting selection of finishes and fixtures, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. As your home takes shape, you’ll have regular opportunities to visit the construction site and witness the progress firsthand. And finally, before you receive the keys to your dream home, we’ll conduct a comprehensive final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations.

Nestled amidst the coastal charm of North Carolina, Penny Miller and her husband found their idyllic haven. As empty nesters, the couple sought a smaller beach community where they could ultimately enjoy retirement in peace. Their journey unlocked a beautiful, custom home and a five-star building experience, courtesy of Richard Wallace Builder!
The Millers initially built a residence in the area but realized it lacked certain features they desired. Soon, they sought a custom-built home that would provide the perfect blend of comfort, functionality and style. Their search led them to the Richard Wallace Builder team, known for our exceptional craftsmanship and personalized approach.
Quality was paramount to the Millers, and they were immediately impressed by our team’s attention to detail and dedication. Beyond the superior quality, they were drawn to the genuine warmth and support they received from everyone involved in the building process.
Miller said, “Very quickly after meeting the team, we felt like we were part of the extended Richard Wallace family.”
Following the completion of the Miller home, it was clear that this new custom build was the latest testament to the Richard Wallace Builder experience. Every aspect of the residence, from the layout to the color scheme, was thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs and preferences of the Millers. Penny Miller shared that the owner’s suite is her favorite spot in the home, providing a tranquil retreat where she can relax and unwind.
Living in North Carolina’s coastal region provides the Millers with the serene lifestyle they craved! The couple enjoys easy access to the beach, a feature and a lifestyle they have always dreamed of.
The Millers were also particularly impressed by the transparency and communication shown by our team throughout the building process. They greatly appreciated the regular updates from Project Manager Greg Wallace and the opportunity to witness firsthand how their future home was coming together. As they lived next door during construction, this was an easy task to accomplish!

Find the Perfect Location
Richard Wallace Builder can help you find the ideal lot in a location that suits your lifestyle and preferences. When choosing a lot, consider proximity to schools, amenities and natural beauty.

Prep & Design Your Dream Home
Work closely with architects and designers to create a home that perfectly aligns with your vision. Really think about how you want to live in the home. If you host large family nights, consider a kitchen that opens onto the great room. For couples without extended family, you might opt for a smaller, more intimate dining area.
Select finishes, materials and appliances that reflect your style and taste. Attention to detail can significantly affect your home’s overall feel and functionality. Need design inspiration? Visit the virtual gallery to peruse past projects!
