Building in Lake Panorama
Life on the lake.
Lake Panorama is a private lake community just north of Panora in Guthrie County, formed by a dam on the Middle Raccoon River that began filling the lake in 1970. It is run by the Lake Panorama Association, apart from the City of Panora, and its shoreline and wooded slopes make a striking setting for a custom home.
Wherever your lot is, the process is the same. Our own design team draws every home in-house, and we refine the design with you through each revision. Every home is built for one fixed price, not cost-plus, covering design, permits, site work, the house, finishes, landscaping and pools.
Guthrie County
Living in Lake Panorama.
The lake
The Lake Panorama Association calls it the largest private lake development in Iowa.
The town
Panora sits just to the south, with the Raccoon River Valley Trail running through it.
The site
A lake lot comes with its own slopes, views and rules, so we look at it with you before design starts.
Do you build custom homes in the Lake Panorama area?
Yes. We design and build custom homes in the Lake Panorama area and across central Iowa, from our studio in Urbandale. Rooted in central Iowa. Ready to travel for the right home.
Can you build on a lake lot?
Yes. We design every home around its lot, from the slope to the view of the water, and we handle the site work and utilities. The Lake Panorama Association has its own building permit and codes, and we work through them with you.
What does the fixed price include?
Every home is built for one fixed price, not cost-plus, covering design, permits, site work, the house, finishes, landscaping and pools.
Who designs the home?
Our own design team draws every home in-house, and we refine the design with you through each revision. We design the floor plan, interiors, exteriors, renderings, furniture and landscaping.
How long does it take?
Every home is different. Timing depends on your design, your lot and the size of the home, and larger homes take longer. We talk it through with you at your first visit.
