Leaving a mark, building the home of the future

"Estela was created to break away from the ordinary. We design homes that feel personal and livable - because the way you live should shape the way your home is built"

- Rafael Celis

About Estela

Estela Living was founded with a clear goal: to create homes that feel personal, functional, and attainable. Founded in Florida, we're not your typical builder - we're offering an alternative to the predictable, one-size-fits-all approach to homebuilding by offering thoughtfully designed homes that reflect how people live today.

We believe good design should be within reach. That's why our homes balance style and simplicity, modern features and everyday comfort. Every floor plan is intentional. Every finish, carefully chosen.

We listen to what homeowners want and build with that in mind - prioritizing flexibility, smart layouts, and features that make life easier and more enjoyable.

Designed for life. Inspired by how you live.
