Building Luxury Custom Homes Across Western North Carolina
At Mountain Sky Builders, we believe a custom home is more than a place to live - it’s a reflection of your vision, your lifestyle, and the legacy you want to create. From raw land to move-in ready, we specialize in building luxury custom homes across Saluda and the surrounding mountain communities of Western North Carolina. With us, you don’t just get a builder; you get a dedicated partner who guides you through every step of the process.
Why Build a Custom Home With Mountain Sky Builders?
Local Roots, Professional Standards
As a family-owned company based in Saluda, NC, we bring both small-town accountability and professional expertise to every project. We have our certifications and active unlimited residential & commercial licenses. Yet what truly sets us apart is our hands-on approach. When you hire Mountain Sky Builders, you work directly with the owners, Ryan and Amber Griffin, who are personally involved from concept to completion.
A Complete, End-to-End Process
Many people assume they need to handle land prep or hire an architect before approaching a builder. That’s not the case here. We offer turnkey custom home services, including:
Lot clearing, grading, drive access, and drainage
Well drilling, septic installation, and permitting
Architectural design coordination
Framing, finishes, cabinetry, and interiors
Selections, décor, and even full furnishings
From the ground up, we manage the entire journey - so you can focus on your vision without the stress of juggling multiple vendors.
Built for the Mountains
Steep terrain and sloped lots are the norm in Western North Carolina. Our experience allows us to design foundations and layouts that not only work with the landscape but showcase it. Walk-out basements, tiered outdoor spaces, and strategic engineering turn challenging sites into beautiful opportunities.

Our Custom Home Process
Step 1
Consultation & Land Evaluation
We start with a conversation. Whether you already own property or are still considering options, we’ll walk the land, assess feasibility, and discuss your goals. For those just getting started, we also offer a flat-fee consulting package to provide a realistic plan before you commit further.
Step 2
Design & Planning
You don’t need to arrive with plans in hand. We connect you with trusted architects and help shape your ideas into designs that are inspiring, functional, and financially sound. If you already have an architect, we’ll review your plans to ensure constructability, budget alignment, and sequencing.
Step 3
Construction & Craftsmanship
This is where your vision takes shape. With carefully selected crews and trades, we manage each stage of construction with precision. From framing to finishes, our attention to detail is what sets us apart - a trait clients consistently recognize.
Step 4
Selections & Interiors
Building a home is about more than structure. Ryand & Amber provide hands-on guidance for finishes, lighting, cabinetry, and hardware, ensuring consistency across the entire home. For clients who prefer a truly turnkey outcome, we can also furnish and decorate your home, sourcing pieces through wholesale partnerships and installing them seamlessly.
Step 5
Move-In & Support
Our commitment doesn’t end at closing. We stand behind our work with warranties and remain available for questions, adjustments, or future projects. Choosing a local builder means your team is nearby and invested in your long-term satisfaction.
Do I need to prep my land first?
No. We handle everything from clearing and grading to utilities and septic systems. If you’ve already started, great… if not, we’ll manage it.
Is a custom home more expensive than a national builder?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients are surprised at how competitive our pricing is once they account for quality, finishes, and change orders. With us, you get personalized service and local accountability - advantages national builders simply can’t offer.
Can you build on steep or difficult lots?
Yes. Challenging terrain is common in the mountains, and we design foundations and layouts that embrace the slope rather than fight it.
Do I need an architect before contacting you?
No. Start with us. We’ll connect you with trusted architects and guide the process. If you already have plans, we’ll review them for budget, sequencing, and feasibility.
