In 2020, a revolution began within homes as a sudden need for multi-functional living spaces was born. This shift in lifestyle also caused a reimagining of custom-built homes as floorplans were approached with more creativity and unique amenities. Today, luxury homeowners continue to tap into concepts developed during a year when many homes were reinvented as the hub of daily life. Sage Built’s stunning homes include features that are typically considered upgrades but are standard in our floorplans, designed specifically for the refined buyer.

It is easy to see the beauty in a Sage Built home upon arrival as even driveways are designed with luxury in mind. Entry points are built with opulence in mind, welcoming homeowners and guests while simultaneously creating a desire to see what lies beyond the fabulous, modern frontage.

Inside, spacious kitchens easily hold double islands, perfect for hosting. Subzero, oversized refrigerators mean food storage can be organized optimally behind bespoke doors that blend into custom cabinetry. Sculleries provide additional, hidden space that serves as a prep or storage area just off the main kitchen.

Beyond the kitchen, Sage Built is adding additional spaces in answer to a continued desire to work and play from home.

  • Dual home offices create privacy for residents accustomed to working from home in a still-professional environment.
  • True Smart Home features tap into Chatham County’s top-notch WIFI, allowing homeowners one-touch control of appliances, security systems, and entertainment.
  • Electric Charging stations are included allowing residents to wake up every day with vehicles fully fueled.
  • Whole house generators offer assurance that homes will still function during inclement weather outages with many also opting for solar panels to harness and store natural energy.
  • Crawl spaces are sealed and conditioned at a higher level than required, creating more energy-efficient homes.
  • Additional living spaces allow luxury living for guests as apartments are added to spacious basements, over the garage, or even within a combined pool/guesthouse.

Speaking of basements, Sage Built believes that the first floor of the home should never be relegated to storage use. Including a basement with a large footprint means room to get creative. Our homes include enough basement space to install full saunas and, a dedicated space for a home gym in addition to a home theatre and recreation room. For golf lovers, Sage Built offers golf simulators inside that pair nicely with putting greens or chip and putt areas outside. After a few hours working on that perfect putt, residents of Sage Built homes can relax just steps away in a custom-designed infinity pool.

Outdoors, another blank canvas awaits as our design team creates the backyard of dreams.

  • Outdoor kitchens include both traditional and flattop grills, brick ovens, kegerators, weatherproof pantries, and more.
  • Multi-sports courts allow homeowners to enjoy pickleball, basketball, tennis, or yoga atop premium flooring that reduces stress on joints.
  • Strategically installed fountains offer an ambiance that pairs perfectly with the beauty of the countryside.
  • Custom firepits are considered an additional piece of art, built with genuine stone surrounds and gorgeous seating.
  • Accessing these features is as simple as pushing a button, opening a sliding glass wall to create a seamless connection between indoors and out.

While much of day-to-day life has returned to pre-pandemic normalcy, homebuyers continue to embrace the sanctuary found at home. Sage Built’s clients demand unique, luxurious homes nestled among the beauty of North Carolina’s Chatham County. This area is rich with employment, education, and recreational opportunities making it a perfect place to build a new, custom home.
