Our clients’ connection to their dairy farm runs deep, intertwining with generations of family history and tradition. With each passing generation, the farm becomes more than just a livelihood; it embodies a legacy, a testament to hard work, resilience, and familial bonds.

Understanding the significance of this heritage, our clients wanted to build more than just a house; they envisioned a home that would stand the test of time, mirroring the enduring legacy of their dairy farm.

Every aspect of the design and construction process was guided by this vision, from selecting the most durable materials to incorporating timeless architectural elements.

At the Homestead, family is at the heart of everything. Our clients envisioned a home where children and grandchildren could continue gathering every Sunday, creating meaningful moments and memories that will be cherished for generations.

Every detail was thoughtfully designed to bring people together. The spacious kitchen features a large island that serves as both a functional workspace and a welcoming place to gather, share meals, and connect. Nearby, the open dining and living areas flow seamlessly together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for hosting family and friends.

Large windows fill the home with natural light and connect the interior to the surrounding landscape, adding to the sense of comfort and openness throughout the space.

At Vleeming Custom Homes, we believe a home should be more than just a place to live. It should be a lasting legacy, thoughtfully built to be enjoyed and passed down for years to come.

At Vleeming Custom Homes, we believe building an energy-efficient home is an investment in both your future and the future of the next generation. The Homestead was thoughtfully designed to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort, durability, or style.

Built with an ICF foundation and GS Panel walls above grade, this home combines advanced building systems, high-efficiency appliances, and quality materials to create a comfortable, high-performance living environment. These features work together to reduce the demand for electricity and gas while helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round.

For homeowners, this means lower monthly utility costs, reduced maintenance, and long-term savings that continue well beyond move-in day. As energy prices continue to rise, investing in a high-performance home becomes a smart financial decision that adds value for years to come.

Beyond the financial benefits, energy-efficient construction also helps reduce environmental impact and preserve resources for future generations. A Vleeming Custom Home is designed to stand the test of time, creating a lasting legacy your family can enjoy for decades.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) offer a unique fusion of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and reinforced concrete durability, rendering them an ideal choice for the foundation of the Homestead. With ICF construction boasting impressive R-values ranging from 24 to 28, the Homestead stands as a testament to both durability and energy efficiency.

The Homestead is a testament to innovative construction techniques, utilizing GS Panel construction for its exterior walls. GS Panels redefine building practices by seamlessly integrating framing, insulation, and vapor barrier functions into one comprehensive solution. Crafted through a meticulous fusion of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and steel stud framing, these panels ensure unmatched durability and performance in home construction.

One of the standout features of GS Panels is their exceptional insulation properties, surpassing traditional methods and guaranteeing year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Additionally, their ability to create an airtight building envelope is paramount for maintaining optimal energy performance and indoor air quality, a feat at which ICE Panels excel.

Furthermore, GS Panels offer significant advantages over traditional wood-framed walls, particularly in eliminating the notorious “thermal bridge” issue. Unlike conventional walls, GS Panels provide a 100% thermal break, effectively preventing the infiltration of hot or cold elements into the home. With 9.25” ICE Panels used in the Homestead; homeowners can expect impressive R-values of up to 36. In comparison, standard wood-framed homes with 2×6 walls and studs placed 16″ on center offer effective R-values of only 16.5.

By embracing GS Panel construction, the Homestead not only ensures unparalleled durability and energy efficiency but also sets a new standard for sustainable and comfortable living environment.
