How Much Does It Cost to Build a Custom Home In North Mississippi? Keller Custom Home Builders helps homeowners understand the real cost of building in Hernando, DeSoto County and surrounding North Mississippi communities. Final pricing depends on the size of the home, lot conditions, design complexity, finishes and selections.

A custom home can be tailored to a wide range of budgets. The cost is driven by the size and complexity of the home, the lot, structural requirements, finishes, and your selections of amenities such as appliances, lighting fixtures, outdoor living areas and other selections. Our goal is to help you understand where your money is going so you can make informed decisions throughout the build.

What Affects the Cost of Building a Custom Home?

No two custom homes cost exactly the same. The biggest factors are:

  • Home size and complexity, one story vs two story etc.
  • Rooflines, ceiling heights and structural details
  • Garage size and configuration 
  • Porches, outdoor living areas and bonus rooms
  • cabinets, countertops, flooring and trim selections
  • Appliances, plumbing fixtures and lighting
  • Amount of unfinished and or unheated paces
 

Upgrades & Features

Your selections can significantly  influence the final price. Higher -end finishes, specialty appliances, custom cabinetry, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and other upgrades can increase the overall investment. 

Land & Site Costs

In addition to the home itself, plan for site-related expenses such as:

  • Lot clearing
  • Dirt work and grading
  • Driveway installation
  • Utility connections
  • Well or septic systems (if needed)
  • Drainage or retaining-wall work if needed
 

Typical Custom Home Construction Costs

In Northwest Mississippi, a well appointed custom home will often fall in the range of approximately $140 – $175 per heated square foot, depending on the design, finishes and features selected.
