Troy and Diane Melton decided to escape the harsh winters of the Blue Mountains in Oregon, so they set out to build their dream home on a piece of property they owned on the western side of the state. See how their customized manufactured home fits their needs and land perfectly.
The Meltons had enjoyed many years living on their five acres perched in the mountains in northeastern Oregon, but they decided to make the move to what they call the “wet side” in the western part of the state. Because they already had the land, it was time to find a permanent home so they could make the move and enjoy it.
From land to home
After considering various manufactured housing companies, Troy and Diane found a home they liked, but they weren’t able to customize it to fit their needs.
“We looked at [the floor plans], and we originally put money on another home from another manufactured company, but it wasn’t customizable,” said Troy.
Through their research, they eventually found themselves at Clayton Homes of Albany.
“I’m pretty decisive about things, so we went to Clayton Homes of Albany a couple times, looked at the plans, and got the process going,” said Diane. Now it was time to build a home that would perfectly fit the shape and layout of their land. They chose the Dream home model and customized many aspects to suit their needs and preferences.
“I love having the back open with the glass wall,” mentioned Diane when asked about her favorite feature. “We can see the local fireworks, and it’s really nice.”
