FALL 2021 | LAKE OCONEE LIVING 39
Fresh
perspective
For 16 years, Bob Hatfield of Hatfield
Custom Homes has been
building homes at Lake Oconee.
In recent months, he and his wife,
Charity, have changed roles, becoming
the homeowners on a journey to create
their own perfect custom home.
“It gave us good perspective,” says
Bob. “Having worked with clients
every day, it’s definitely helped refresh
ourselves on the process of going
through selections and really understanding
what homeowners are
looking for.”
Charity says when they were planning
to build on their private, wooded
golf course lot, they were able to take
a well-loved “main and down” floor
plan and make it their own. “We really
thought through how we were going
to use this space,” she says. “From the
flooring, and storage space and views,
we really considered how it would flow
for us. It was a fun process.”
