    About Cavco of Nappanee


    Cavco - Nappanee, formerly known as Fairmont Homes, has been building quality homes with pride since 1971. Founded by the Shea family in the scenic Amish countryside near Nappanee, Indiana, Fairmont Homes started with a simple, meaningful goal: to design and build affordable, attractive homes with solid construction and high-quality, state-of-the-art components. From the beginning, we’ve built homes to stand the test of time and provide peace of mind for every homeowner. More than 50 years later, that commitment to value, strength, and affordability remains at the heart of everything we do.
