The farmhouse look has been a favorite in Kentucky for generations, and it isn't going anywhere. But "farmhouse" can mean pretty different things these days. There's the modern farmhouse, with its clean lines and bright, open interiors, and the traditional farmhouse, with the warmth and character that have defined country homes for over a century.

Building a home from scratch is one of the biggest projects most people ever undertake, so choosing your builder is a major decision. You're entrusting someone to turn a patch of land and a set of ideas into the place your family will live for years, so this choice matters more than almost any other decision you'll make throughout the process.

Building a home on your own piece of Kentucky is its own kind of special. Maybe you have family land that's been passed down for generations, or maybe you just found the perfect spot with rolling hills and room to breathe.
