GREENVILLE, SC – The 2013 Southern Living Custom Builder Showcase Home by Dillard-Jones Builders will open Friday, September 27, at Currahee Club on Lake Hartwell near Toccoa, GA. The showcase home offers the latest in design trends and building technology with panoramic views of Lake Hartwell and the North Georgia Mountains as a backdrop.
A Dillard-Jones custom design, the 2013 Southern Living Custom Builder Showcase Home is a 3,989-square-foot, four-bedroom plan called Quarry Ridge. The elevation of the home offers lake, mountain and golf course views, and overlooks Hole #17 – the Quarry Hole – on Currahee Club’s Rolex World’s Top 1000 Golf Course designed by Jim Fazio.
The 2013 Southern Living Custom Builder Showcase Home is the sixth Southern Living tour home presented by Greenville, SC-based Dillard-Jones Builders. The company’s 2008 Showcase Home in Tuscany Falls and the 2010 Showcase Home in Claremont won the Upstate SC homebuilder 2009 and 2011 Southern Living Builder of the Year honors, making Dillard-Jones the only two-time winner in the 20-year history of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program.
“This home, our sixth Southern Living show house, is the culmination of the best ingredients of previous tour homes including the floor plan and flow of the home, outdoor living space, materials and finishes, and energy efficiency,” said Dillard-Jones President Tom Dillard.
The home’s main level features a dining/kitchen/great room combination with a 24’ vaulted ceiling and ample windows allowing views that are not inhibited by cabinets or walls. The master suite on the main level features a bedroom with coffered ceiling, and a master bath with Moen rainfall showerhead and freestanding volcanic limestone tub. The upper level includes two bedrooms, a hobby room and a destination media room with French doors that open onto a balcony overlooking the Quarry Hole.

The lower-level sleeping porch, outdoor patio with cooking station, and fire pit offer an array of choices for entertaining and enjoying wide-angle views of Lake Hartwell, the North Georgia Mountains and the Quarry Hole.
