How to purchase a luxury lot and build at Cielo
Purchasing a homesite at Cielo involves a straightforward process designed to match serious buyers with the right lot and the right design team before construction begins.
- Inquire and schedule a private tour. Contact the Cielo sales team through cielobrentwood.com/contact or reach out to Onward Real Estate agent Lisa Culp Taylor at 615-300-8285. A private site tour is the starting point — walking the land is the best way to understand the views, topography, and character of each available homesite.
- Review the site plan and available homesites. The Cielo site plan shows the layout, orientation, and acreage of each homesite. The sales team will walk through current pricing, any reserved lots, and the specific attributes of each available parcel.
- Select your homesite. Buyers choose their preferred lot based on size, views, privacy, and budget. With 9 homesites remaining across a range of $2,250,000 to $8,250,000, there are options suited to different estate visions.
- Engage a Design Guild architect. Cielo requires all homes to be designed by one of four pre-approved firms in the Design Guild: Christopher Architecture & Interiors, Dryden Architecture and Design, Kimmel Studio, or Michael Abraham Architecture. Each firm brings a distinct aesthetic, and buyers select the partner that best aligns with their vision.
- Design and permit your home. Working with your chosen architect and a vetted builder, you design a home specific to your homesite. Cielo's architectural framework encourages individuality — the goal is that every home feels distinct, personal, and proportional to its land.
- Begin construction. With lot secured, design approved, and permits in place, construction begins on your Cielo estate.
