We design our homes and Pocket Neighborhoods to emphasize front porch living, connecting homeowners more directly to their environment and to one another. We offer numerous Ross Chapin architectural smart-sized floor plans designed specifically for our Pocket Neighborhoods—the first of their kind in the Midwest. Our homes are built with quality materials and thoughtful detailed design utilizing the latest construction techniques. Whether it’s within our Pocket Neighborhoods or on your own lot, we look forward to working with you to build a home to celebrate everyday life and connections. Homeowner Stories: “The homes are darling inside and out, with a well thought out design, whether it's window placement or pocket fences, just as Ross Chapin intended (if you’ve not looked at, you need to read Pocket Neighborhoods). I appreciated that the building standard options were high end and custom as is, so you weren’t overwrought with making decisions on every detail, but that Casey was flexible where you did want to deviate. A year and half later, I’m still receiving compliments any time someone comes to my cottage. And the icing on the cake is the tight-knit community and the friendships and comfort my neighbors provide. With 27 homes, it truly is a place where everyone knows your name. Relationships were formed during construction and have grown since...helping hands, shared resources, a watchful eye out for and on you, a shared cup of coffee or glass of wine. If you're on your front porch, you can count on sharing a moment with whomever is out!" Rachel / Homeowner “Quality construction was extremely important to me. I put some money I inherited from my father into my home and I needed to know that he would approve of the construction of the home as he felt that so many builders just make homes look good on the outside but inside are poorly constructed. I have no doubt my father would be over-the-moon pleased with my home—inside and out!” Rosemary / Homeowner ### Services Provided - Home Builders ### Areas Served - Indianapolis - Carmel - Fishers - Zionsville - Meridian Hills - Castleton - You Own Lot ### Typical Job Cost $400,000 - 1 million ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING, LLC | | Address | Indianapolis, Indiana 46260, United States | | Phone | (317) 767-9760 | | Website | http://inglenookcottagehomes.com | | Followers on Houzz | 70 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/inglenookcottagehomes/ - Blog — http://landdevelopbuild.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING, LLC](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/land-development-and-building-llc-pfvwus-pf~185315734) - **Website:** http://inglenookcottagehomes.com - **Phone:** (317) 767-9760 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Featured in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, AARP, Builder's Magazine, Indianapolis Monthly, and other local media outlets. - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2017–2023), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [National Association of Home Builders](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/national-association-of-home-builders-pfvwus-pf~562065019) - [BA of Greater Indianapolis (BAGI)](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ba-of-greater-indianapolis-bagi-pfvwus-pf~93300769) - [Indiana Builders Association, Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/indiana-builders-association-inc-pfvwus-pf~1418621277) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.3 out of 5 — 7 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 37.0 - Communication: 35.0 - Value: 37.0 ### All 7 reviews **★ — HU-594953703, Jan. 2024** > All I can say is run the other way!! This company has no business attempting to work in development and the home building business. We attempted to build a small home with them and after 18 months it was only 50% complete! We finally had to get an attorney to force them to allow us to use another contractor to complete our home. On top of that they were asking for construction draw funds that could not be substantiated. > I would recommend staying away from this developer. **★★★★ — Guinn Doyle, Nov. 2020** > The staff was great to work with. Kristen was very helpful in the selections process. Casey answered questions we had and addressed issues we had in understanding the land purchase/construction process. We are looking forward to living in the inglenook of Zionsville **Comment from LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING, LLC:** > Thanks Guinn! Looking forward to having you in the neighborhood! **★★★★★ — M/M Collins, Oct. 2020** > We are very happy with the home Land Development built for us. We wanted quality, efficiency , and beauty in a home with a vintage feel but also with modern amenities. We got all that and more. I know we will have many joyful years in our cottage **Comment from LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING, LLC:** > Thanks! It was a joy to build for you all! **★★★★★ — Kent Ellis, Sept. 2020** > As first time new home builders we appreciated how much the builder and his trades people helped us thru the entire construction process...owner's input and questions are encouraged. The builder was onsite everyday and accessible which we found to be very helpful. > > Land Development built our "forever home" with the finest materials and we couldn't be more happy and proud of our new home. **Comment from LAND DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING, LLC:** > Thanks Kent! It was a joy to build for you all. **★★★★★ — nonnigom, June 2014** > We bought a home built by Casey Land and his company. Quality of the home has been top notch. The company is able to put a personal touch into the entire project. **★★★★★ — rosemaryfowler, June 2014** > I cannot say enough good things about Casey Land and Land development. I bought the first house in Inglenook and Casey and I went through the trials and headaches of a new community build together. He built me a quality house far above my expectations and was delightful to work with. > I had trepidation about building a house and putting some money into it that I inherited from my Dad because he was a stickler for solid construction and constructed a home for him and my Mother when he was 72 year old. (Notice I say he built it, NOT that he had someone build it.) He said he had to build the house himself because houses "just aren't being constructed well any more. " When my house was nearing completion, I told Casey I did not have to worry about putting dad's money into my house because had Dad known Casey and watched the construction of my house, dad would have changed his mind about houses not being solidly constructed any more. I LOVE my house, it is performing well 3 years into ownership and Casey is now a cherished friend that I would have my house my house all over again. > Rosemary Fowler **★★★★★ — dlb20011, May 2014** > Casey Land built our cottage home and cottage community. The quality of the homes is very good with many energy related features included. I would be pleased to have him build another one! > > Mr. Land is a man of his word on issues that need to be fixed from time to time. He is involved in the continual operation of the homes and community and is very open to discussion. Listens very well and makes thing happen often times before it is even required. He takes a continuing personal interest in our well-being and treats our homes like his own. Bottom line is that he is a pleasure to work with. > > Best builder I have ever been involved with in 40 years of buying / building homes around the USA. ## Selected projects - [Custom Cottage Community - First Pocket Neighborhood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-cottage-community-first-pocket-neighborhood-pj-vj~548537) - Location: Carmel, IN - Photos: 20 - Description: Located in Carmel, Indiana, Inglenook of Carmel is an intimate community of 27 cottage-style homes designed by award-winning architect Ross Chapin.
