Built for Richland's Most Discerning Buyers
The people who build in Richland are not average homebuyers. They work at PNNL — one of the most significant federal research facilities in the western United States. They work at Hanford. They are scientists, engineers, and senior contractors with the technical background to scrutinize every decision that goes into a structure. They know the difference between a home that looks premium and one that actually is.
That’s exactly the buyer Anasazi Builders is built for.
John and Stephen Worlund have nearly 80 years of combined hands-on experience in custom home construction. Not management. Not administration. The kind of experience where you can read a hillside lot and know what the foundation conversation needs to be before you’ve pulled a single permit. The kind of precision that comes from building in Fairbanks, Alaska — where construction standards are not a preference, they’re a survival requirement — and then bringing every one of those habits back to the Tri-Cities.
Every home we build in Richland is 100% custom. Your design, your floor plan, your finish selections — not a menu of upgrades from a production package. No builder-grade materials. No shortcuts that show up three winters later.
If you’ve earned the home you want to build, you deserve a builder who can actually deliver it.

Richland draws the most technically educated workforce in the region. We build for buyers who will examine every detail — because that standard is how we build anyway.
Fastest-Growing · Individual Lot Buyers Welcome · 2026 Expansion
Badger Mountain South
One of the fastest-growing and most thoughtfully designed communities in all of Eastern Washington. What makes Badger Mountain South genuinely unique: individual buyers can purchase lots directly — not just builders. That means you can secure your lot, bring us in to design your home around it, and own the entire process.
With South Orchard Phase 2 now open and Phase 3 arriving in 2026 with 130 new single-family lots, there’s still real opportunity here. Open space, connected walkable design, and a community built to hold its value.
We know the CCR requirements, the HOA standards, and the Benton County permit process for this community. We’ve navigated it before.
Acreage · Protected Views · Luxury Hillside Builds
Jericho Heights & South Richland
Where Richland’s most serious luxury builds happen. Acreage-style parcels, protected views of the Yakima River, the Columbia River, and the Tri-Cities skyline — the kind of site lines that define a home for its entire life. These are not standard builds. The hillside lots here require precise site grading, slope-aware structural design, and window placement that actually captures the views rather than just facing them.
This is where seven-figure custom homes earn every dollar of their price.
Golf Course · Established Character · Professional Buyer
Horn Rapids & Meadow Springs
A note buyers should know: irrigation water sources vary between Richland neighborhoods — South Richland lots often use BMID (Benton-Franklin Irrigation District) while Columbia Point is city-serviced. We know the difference and plan accordingly.
What We Build — Precision Custom Homes, Start to Finish
Luxury Custom Homes
Every home we build in Richland is designed from scratch. You choose the floor plan — from 100+ available plans we can modify, or entirely your own concept — and every detail from there is yours. Finish specifications, room layouts, ceiling heights, millwork profiles, kitchen design, primary suite scope. Nothing borrowed from a previous project. Nothing builder-grade.
High-Performance & Energy-Efficient Construction
We’ve built in Fairbanks, Alaska and North Dakota — climates that punish under-built homes fast. That experience produced standards for insulation, air sealing, and mechanical systems that we apply to every Richland home we build. A home built to a high-performance standard is quieter, more comfortable, and less expensive to operate for as long as you live in it.
Custom Millwork & Finish Carpentry
The finishes are where a luxury custom home either delivers or falls short. We bring hands-on cabinetry and finish carpentry experience to every Richland build — custom cabinets, built-in shelving, custom millwork profiles, and detail work that reflects craftsmanship rather than catalog selection. This is not subcontracted out to a box store.
Why Richland Buyers Choose Anasazi
The Precision a Technical Buyer Expects.
John or Stephen is your contact throughout the entire build — not a rotating project manager who picked up your file last week. The person who listened to your vision on day one is the same person who hands you the keys. In a market where that’s rare, it matters.
Cold-Climate Experience. Applied Here.
Most builders design a standard home and stick it on your lot. We design your home around the lot itself — including sun orientation, prevailing wind direction off the Columbia, and how the natural light moves through your rooms across seasons. A house built for Kennewick performs better and feels better, year-round.
View Lots Built for the View — Not Just On It.
John started building at 17. Stephen at 16. They’ve built in extreme cold — Fairbanks, Alaska and North Dakota — where sloppy workmanship shows up fast. That standard doesn’t go away because the climate is easier. Every Kennewick home we build gets the same attention to structure, detail, and craft.
One Contact. The Whole Build.
Clients have told us — more than once — that they chose Anasazi because of how organized our construction sites looked when they drove by. Clean sites mean controlled builds. Controlled builds mean no surprises. It’s one of the things John insists on, and it shows all the way to delivery.
"You shouldn't have to settle for close enough in Kennewick."
Our Richland Build Process — 8 Steps, No Surprises
The process of building your custom home is straightforward and transparent. It starts with a free initial consultation and a technical lot assessment, followed by custom blueprint design and 3D renderings. Once you finalize the finishes and we secure the necessary permits, construction takes about five months with direct, on-site supervision. Finally, we hand over a move-in ready home backed by a solid warranty and long-term support.

Richland Custom Home FAQ
Does Anasazi Builders build luxury custom homes in Richland, WA?
Yes. We build fully custom and luxury custom homes throughout Richland — including Badger Mountain South, Jericho Heights, South Richland, Horn Rapids, Meadow Springs, West Village, Reata Ridge, and Falcon Crest. Every home is designed from scratch for the specific family, the specific lot, and the specific standard of finish they want. No shared plans. No builder-grade packages.
Can you build on a lot in Badger Mountain South?
Yes. Badger Mountain South is one of the most active communities we build in — and it’s worth knowing that individual buyers can purchase lots directly there, not just builders. We understand the community’s CCR requirements, HOA standards, and the Benton County permitting process for this development. With South Orchard Phase 3 bringing 130 new lots in 2026, there’s still real opportunity to secure a site and build fully custom.
Do you have experience building on hillside lots in Richland?
Yes — and we take it seriously. Lots in Jericho Heights, parts of Badger Mountain South, and South Richland’s elevated parcels require site grading, slope-specific structural engineering, and careful window placement to actually capture the views. These are not standard flat-lot builds. John’s experience building in extreme terrain — including Alaska and North Dakota — means hillside builds in Richland are handled with the same precision those environments demanded.
How long does a luxury custom build in Richland take?
Total timeline is 8–10 months from the formal project start — including design, permitting, and construction. Construction runs approximately 5 months. Benton County and City of Richland permits typically take up to 3 weeks. We manage all permit paperwork on your behalf. Luxury builds with more complex designs or hillside sites may add time in the design and grading phases — we’ll give you an honest timeline from the start, not an optimistic one.
What does a luxury custom home in Richland, WA start at?
Entry point for a custom home with land in the Tri-Cities starts at approximately $450,000. Luxury builds in Richland — particularly on Jericho Heights view lots, Badger Mountain South parcels, or South Richland acreage — typically reflect higher land costs, more complex site work, and premium finish specifications. We work budget-first, every time. We never quote per square foot because that number means nothing when every home is built differently. We sit with you, understand what your home needs to be, and build the price from your actual scope.
You've built a career worth being proud of. Your home should reflect that.
