Custom Home Builder in Wake Forest
North of Raleigh, where the tree line still means something. Gemstone builds custom homes across Wake Forest, from our coming-soon estates at Purnell Ridge to a lot you already love.
A town that kept its trees, and its front porches.
Wake Forest sits north of Raleigh with a historic downtown, mature hardwoods, and lots that give a home room to breathe. It is the kind of place people move to for space without giving up the drive into the city.
We are a Triangle builder, not a national outfit running a Wake Forest division. When you call, you reach the people who will design your home and stand in it with you at the walkthrough.
Gemstone is a Parade of Homes Gold winner. What that reflects is the part we care about: the standards other builders quote as upgrades are simply how we build.
Purnell Ridge
Wake Forest, NC · From the $800s
A boutique collection of custom estate homes on wooded lots, tucked into a private setting. Purnell Ridge is custom-only, so every home is designed from the ground up. Homesites are releasing soon. Join the waitlist to be first to hear.

Two of the plans we love to build.
Every Gemstone home is custom, but our plans are a good place to start the conversation. Here are two, built and photographed, so you can see the standard for yourself.
The Onyx
A modern farmhouse with a confident dark exterior and timber gable detailing. Vaulted living, an open kitchen, and clean lines throughout.
The Morefield
A classic three-gable farmhouse in soft cream, with a warm timber-accented entry. A brass-and-wood kitchen anchors an open main level.
What other builders call an upgrade, we call standard.
The difference between two homes at the same price per square foot is almost always where the money went. We put ours into the parts of a home you do not see on a spec sheet but live with every day. Our cost-to-build guide breaks down exactly what drives the number.
The detail carries all the way through.
Already have the land in Wake Forest? We will build to it.
Waiting on Purnell Ridge is not the only way in. We design and build custom homes on individually owned lots throughout Wake Forest. Bring us the site and we will start with the ground it sits on.
