New Construction on Acreage

The Poster Residence is a great example of how a custom home can evolve from a speculative build into a fully personalized living space. Located on a beautiful two-acre parcel surrounded by an additional 80 acres of forest, this project highlights the flexibility and long-term value of working with an experienced custom home builder.
What began as a new construction project quickly became something more. During the framing stage, Bob and Anne Poster fell in love with the property and saw the potential to make it their forever home.
New Construction Designed Around Lifestyle Needs
As part of their purchase, the homeowners requested several modifications to better suit their family’s needs. At Capital Builders, we specialize in adapting new construction projects to align with how our clients actually live.
For this home, adjustments included:
- Converting garage space into a functional family room
- Designing and constructing a detached garage nearby
- Maintaining the architectural consistency of the original design
These changes allowed the home to feel customized without compromising the construction timeline. The project was completed on schedule, and the homeowners were able to move in as planned.
Building a Custom Home on Acreage in Oregon
Constructing a home on acreage presents unique opportunities and challenges. From site planning and layout to maximizing views and privacy, every decision plays a role in the final result.
For the Poster Residence, the surrounding forest and open land created the perfect setting for a peaceful, private home. The design emphasized:
- Connection to the natural surroundings
- Functional outdoor access
- Long-term durability suited for rural environments
Ongoing Relationship and Future Additions
One of the defining aspects of this project is the long-term relationship built with the homeowners. Five years after the initial construction, the Posters returned to Capital Builders for guidance on additional upgrades, including:
- A new laundry room
- A covered porch
- A back stoop addition
While they chose to act as their own general contractor for this phase, our team provided consulting and planning support to ensure the additions matched the look and feel of the original home.
A Long-Term Investment in Quality Construction
Nearly a decade later, the Poster family continues to enjoy their home—proof that thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship stand the test of time. This project reflects our commitment to not only building homes, but building lasting relationships with our clients.
