All the charm of a mountain home nestled here in the lowcountry
Atour around the country will reveal that America’s most popular home styles can be broken down by region. Cape Cod Bungalow, New England Colonial, Texas Ranch, Midwest Craftsman, Southern Farmhouse and Coastal Cottage all bring to mind a particular style of home that fits into a specific locale.
So what happens when you live in one region but want a home that is designed for somewhere else? ACH Custom Homes faced this challenge when their client chose to bring a little mountain flair down to the east coast. The result was a beautiful estate that’s a perfect fit.
Impeccable standards. Excellence in artistry.
“Great builder! ACH has built 3 beautiful homes for me in the past 10 years.”

Set against a 2 acre equestrian bend this Aspen style residence is a mixture of rustic charm captured in a LowCountry setting. The client’s desire for a “Woodsy” residential enclave inside and out provided the design build team with the emotional language to produce an elegant yet comfortable collection of spaces to live within. Capitalizing on significant amounts and types of outdoor living areas allowed the home to integrate the flow of interior spaces to the outdoors.
The residence is clad in western red cedar shingles and rough hewn timber while the interior space flows effortlessly with reclaimed wide plank barn wood floors, hand hewn columns and beams. The large landscaped lanai envelopes the ample sized Baja pool with chip edged travertine pavers and rough sawn cypress columns and beams.
Massive western stone stanchions form an entrance gateway to “Rolling Hill” berms that line the pervious driveway to the over-sized pine timber and alder wood door entry way. Just to the right of the entry is an oversized garage that provides ample space for the owner’s dedication to re-build race cars.
The owners relied on a strong team dynamic between the Architect and the Builder to pull off this wonderful collaboration. Even the smallest details convey the essence of mountain living. It’s proof that building a home in the right region isn’t as important as the team that puts it all together.
