The Ranch at Twenty Mile, located in Nocatee, was the perfect setting to showcase both Dostie Homes’ prowess in high-end production home design, as well as Howard’s depth of experience within Coastal and American styles of interior design. “This is something I have always wanted to do and be a part of,” said Howard. When approached by Chris Dostie, president of Dostie Homes, Howard jumped at the opportunity. Although he had never designed a model home before, he was quite accustomed to working on high-end, multi-million dollar personal homes. His work has been featured in Southern Living, Coastal Living, Luxe, HGTV Magazine, Good Housekeeping and more. Howard, a Ponte Vedra native, was named one of the Top Young Designers in America in 2013 by House Beautiful and Traditional Home magazines. The opportunity to partner with world-renowned interior designer whose work has graced the cover of many national publications doesn’t come along every day.

Homebuyers can find inspiration at every turn in the newly opened Dostie Homes model in The Ranch at Twenty Mile.
