Since he was our builder on our last residence, we knew the quality and experience he would bring to our project. “When we decided to build a new home, we did not even consider anyone else but Ed Rust. He built the Hummels’ previous custom home, so they were already comfortable with his extensive building knowledge and style. “Once we had the lot secured, then it was time for the real work to begin and Amy met with architect Kris Lee to share her vision with him.”Īfter a few months of working on architecture, the home was ready for Lifestyle Custom Homes to begin the custom home building experience.

“I am so happy to say that it was worth the effort on all of our parts to pursue something like this,” Doherty says. She sent letters of intent to the developer and his real estate team and, after several rounds of communication, they were able to get a solid contract in place for the parcel of land. They all fell in love with Heron Lakes at TPC Colorado, and Doherty set about making sure the Hummels’ dream would come true. Together, they jumped on the opportunity and took many four-wheel-drive Jeep trips to see the lay of the land before this beautiful location had a functional golf course, streets, curbs or gutters. The vision that the Hummels had fit perfectly with Doherty’s love of helping clients achieve their big goals. When the Hummels and Doherty happened to see each other at Henry’s Pub in Loveland a few years ago, the Hummels began discussing TPC Colorado and their desire to be one of the first homes in the Heron Lakes subdivision. Homeowners Paul and Amy Hummel have known Doherty and Rust for several years, and Rust built their previous custom house.

Most recently, the two completed a custom home at Tournament Players Club (“TPC”) Colorado Heron Lakes Community at 2774 Southwind Road, Berthoud. Real estate veteran Melissa Doherty, of Colorado Luxury Homes powered by C3 Real Estate Solutions, and Ed Rust, owner of Lifestyle Custom Homes, have been working together as a Realtor/Builder “dynamic duo” since the year 2000.
