Waterfront & Coastal Custom Homes in Naples, FL

 

Build your custom coastal home in Naples, designed for the rhythms of waterfront living.

Build a Home That Belongs on the Water

Living on the water changes the way you experience home. At Select Development Group, we help you build a home that fits that lifestyle. Whether it is a full-time residence or a place to unwind, we handle everything from first design to final inspection.

We understand what it takes to build on the coast. Our team blends thoughtful design with local expertise to create homes that look the way you want and hold up to the demands of waterfront living.

What Makes Coastal Construction Different?

Designing a home by the water is about understanding the landscape. Coastal properties in Southwest Florida come with specific challenges: strict setback regulations, high wind zones, floodplain requirements, and the daily wear of heat, salt, and moisture.

As a Naples design firm, we know how to plan around FEMA flood zones, specify hurricane-rated windows and doors, and recommend materials that will not rust, rot, or fade in the elements. From foundation type to roof structure, every detail matters when you are building on or near the water.

What You Should Expect  from a Coastal Home Builder in Naples

As a full-service coastal home builder in Naples, we deliver architecture, permitting, engineering, and construction from one experienced team.

We guide you through:

  • Evaluating your lot or helping you choose the right one
  • Designing with water views, breezes, and privacy in mind
  • Navigating coastal permitting and utility planning
  • Coordinating elevation requirements, flood compliance, and wind resistance
  • Managing skilled trades and overseeing quality at every turn

Features of a Custom Waterfront Home

No two homes we build are alike, but the best coastal homes share a few key traits:

  • Covered lanais, sun decks, and screened-in porches
  • Open floorplans with plenty of natural light
  • Integrated outdoor kitchens and pools
  • Elevated foundations and breakaway walls
  • Impact-rated windows and doors
  • Salt-tolerant materials and finishes
  • Dock access and waterfront landscaping options

Our Process: From Planning to Move-In

Every coastal custom home in Southwest Florida begins with the same commitment: to build responsibly, beautifully, and with your lifestyle at the center.

Here is what to expect with Select Development Group:

  1. Discovery & Consultation

The process begins on-site, walking the lot and understanding how the property can support the vision. This is the time to talk through goals, lifestyle needs, and early ideas that will shape the direction of the home.

  1. Design & Pre-Construction Planning

Custom plans are developed to match the site, the coastal conditions, and how the homeowner wants to live day to day. Elevation requirements, storm resilience, and design priorities are addressed early to avoid delays later.

  1. Proposal & Budget Review

Once plans are refined, coastal reviews, FEMA requirements, and zoning approvals are submitted. A fixed-price proposal follows so you have a clear scope and timeline to move forward.

  1. Construction Execution

Each phase of construction is managed by experienced local trades who understand the demands of Southwest Florida’s climate. Progress is steady and well-communicated, keeping everything on track and on time.

  1. Quality Assurance & Final Walkthrough

Before move-in, a full walkthrough is completed to review the details, confirm functionality, and make sure everything reflects the original vision.

Can you build in a flood zone?

Yes. Most waterfront properties in Naples fall within FEMA-designated flood zones. We design and build to meet all elevation, drainage, and structural code requirements for these areas.

What kind of foundation is best for coastal homes?

That depends on your lot’s elevation and soil conditions. We often recommend pile or stem wall foundations to raise the home above flood levels while maintaining stability and code compliance.

How do you handle coastal permitting?

We manage all permitting in-house, including zoning approvals, coastal construction lines, and utility coordination.

Can I include a dock or boat lift in the project?

Yes. If your property is zoned correctly with water access, we help you make the most of it. We can coordinate dock planning and permitting alongside your home build.

Do you build custom beach houses or second homes?

Absolutely. Whether you are a full-time resident or building a custom beach house in Naples, our process supports both local and remote clients with regular updates and clear communication.
