Custom Home Builder Foley
Foley gives you the land. Palmetto helps you decide what to do with it before the first nail goes in.
More lot means more early decisions. Make the right ones before the ground breaks.
Foley draws families and relocation clients who want real land, room to grow, and access to both the coast and Mobile without the price of a beach address. Larger homesites are an opportunity — and an obligation to plan. The home that makes the most of the property is the one whose site layout was decided in pre-planning, not after the foundation went in.
Larger Foley properties open up real possibilities: deep porches, indoor-outdoor flow that works year-round, accessory structures with actual utility, and floor plans flexible enough to grow with the household. Capturing those possibilities means working out utilities, drainage, driveway alignment, and outbuilding placement early — before design decisions get expensive to reverse.
Local building considerations

Common questions about building in Foley
Can you build on raw acreage outside the city limits?
Yes, with a feasibility step that covers septic versus sewer, well versus utility water, driveway design, and any county-level permitting required for the site.
We want a barn or detached shop. Can that be part of the project?
Yes. Accessory structures are coordinated alongside the main residence so utility runs, foundations, and site grading are planned together rather than chased later.
How does Foley compare to Gulf Shores or Fairhope on build budget?
Foley typically offers more lot for the dollar and lower hard-cost lot prep. Final delivered cost depends much more on home size, finish level, and engineering than on which Baldwin County town the lot is in.
