About RiverWILD Homes
A Builder That Builds More Than Homes
RiverWILD Homes was established to bring thoughtful, affordable, quality-driven homes to Johnston County and beyond—built with intention, integrity, and the people who will live in them top of mind. As one of the seven companies within the WILD family of brands, RiverWILD Homes reflects the same mission of impacting and developing people by doing business “the WILD way,” with a focus on building communities that stand the test of time.
Led by President Zach Stewart and Vice President Matthew Schelm, RiverWILD Homes is powered by a dedicated team of employees and a strong network of trade partners, vendors, and real estate professionals. From design to delivery, our approach is hands-on and people-first—ensuring every home we build is rooted in quality, function, and care.
Why We Trust RiverWILD Homes
As the real estate team that works closely with RiverWILD Homes, we're part of the process from start to finish. We’ve walked the land, met the crews, and watched these homes come to life.
When you choose a RiverWILD home, you're not just getting a well-built house—you’re stepping into a thoughtfully designed community, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
