Introduction

Let our custom home builders be your one-stop shop for creating your dream home.

Our high standards for craftsmanship and quality go all the way to the top. Owner Brian Powell studied urban and regional planning at Missouri State University, followed by a Master of Architecture from NC State University, focused on design/build.

We work with the best. From our 10+ year partnership with Amish construction craftsmen to our consistent partnerships with builders and plumbers, you can rest assured that we’ve selected the best team from beginning to end.

Whole-Home Remodel

Our design/build expertise extends beyond new construction to complete whole-home remodeling.

Lots + Land

Our team at Old World Realty ensures you'll find the perfect space, along with the perfect design, for your new home.

My Old World Cottages project was completed timely, professionally, and amazingly under budget. I could not have asked for more.

Old World Cottages has been very helpful, creative, and resourceful. Our style was different than other homes they had built, but they did an excellent job of adjusting to our style.
