Founded in 2000 by Doug and Lain Rodgers, Carriage Custom Homes is a family-owned and operated builder with deep roots in Central Arkansas. Doug began his building career in 1971, eventually constructing over 5,000 homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area before returning to Arkansas. Lain, a licensed REALTOR® and interior designer, has been instrumental in shaping the company’s signature aesthetic and customer experience. With over 6,000 homes built throughout their careers and a team that includes multiple generations of family and long-standing professionals, Carriage Custom Homes continues to set the standard for custom residential construction across the region.

We specialize in designing and building custom homes that maximize the beauty of their surroundings.

The Village features seven 18-hole courses, one 27-hole golf complex, and a prestigious private golf club, making it a dream destination for golf lovers and retirees alike.
