An ADA-Compliant Forever Home in the Destin Community

-

After retiring from her 35-year career in the Air Force, Colonel Slade moved back to her native North Carolina and built her first home in 2012. When she decided to sell that house nine years later and build a new forever home, her life changed in nearly an instant, and her plans for the build changed with it.

Custom Homes From $1.8M*

A truly custom home is an investment in exceptional design, enduring craftsmanship, and the way your family wants to live. Rufty Homes brings those elements together with thoughtfully selected materials, exacting attention to detail, and a home designed entirely around you.

We believe the financial side of building should be just as thoughtfully managed. Our hyper-transparent approach to estimating and budgeting helps you understand your investment throughout the process, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
