1.) Why is living in a log home a dream
come true? |
|
It’s a
remedy to heal a stressed mind, body and spirit. It’s an
antitoxin to urbanization. It’s a cure to a programmed routine
life that we have come to take for granted. It may be hard to
believe that living in a log home can do all that, but doing
is believing. It works like a dream!

2.) How much does it cost to own a
log home? |
|
The price on your log home will include the price of land.
The price will also be for a
turnkey log home, which means —–
everything is included in the price,
from appliances to lighting fixtures to cabinets/vanities to
just about all you need —– short of furniture & personal
items. Of course, the price of your log home will depend on
such variables as the square footage, land price, special
material of your choice (I.e. granite counter-tops, etc.) and
so on.

What size log homes do you build? |
|
We build
almost any size log home. However, a log home in size less than
1,300 sq. ft. is not recommended simply because it will not be
cost-effective. Our sites can accommodate a log home of up to
approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of living space. Should you
require a bigger log home, we may work with you to search
for/locate a suitable home site on which to build your custom
log home.

excavation of the site to the stage of completion where you
will be ready to move in your new log home. Naturally,
certain unforeseen factors (i.e. weather, material shortage,
etc.) may lengthen the construction process. All in all, we
normally work on an efficient, timely schedule.

Based upon
our own experience of living in a log home, we are happy to
say that owning a log home is ALMOST maintenance-free. Aside
from usual care (i.e. general cleaning & maintenance, etc.),
the home just about takes care of itself. Of course, it helps
that our log homes are built with tender loving care from the
start to finish...

Renting
your log home certainly is a viable option. There is almost
year round high demand for rental log homes in our area, with
high seasons being spring to fall, though Thanksgiving &
Christmas holidays are at a premium as well. As an average, a
3-bedroom log home demands minimum of $1,200 to $1,500 per week to
rent. For those who do not have the time or energy to handle
the rental process, many area realtors provide complete
rental services for a reasonable fee.
