This estate with a unique log building on about 2.5 acres of tranquil terrain is the best there is. The property contains flex rooms on the upper level, a feed and water system, stables, and a barn. The main log house’s structure is matched by the large detached 3-car carport.
Follow the slate path to the entrance and take note of the grand log house elements and high ceilings. The numerous triple-pane windows let in plenty of natural light. The main living areas are heated by the cosy stove, which also heats the loft/bonus apartment upstairs.
A nice kitchen with a JennAir stove and lots of storage is found in the log home. The main floor and the master bedroom have radiant heat. There are two bedrooms, a laundry room, and a dining room on the main level. The bonus room loft and master bedroom are located upstairs. With fruit trees and lots of space to roam in the yard, take advantage of your expansive covered deck that you can use all year long. The following are just a few advantages of living in and owning a log home.
Log Homes are Healthy. A log home’s all-natural components mean you won’t suffer off-gassing as can happen with manmade building materials. And when coupled with low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) stains and regular HVAC maintenance, you can create a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
Log Homes are Good for the Environment. Though you’ll hear some people argue that log homes destroy the forests, nothing is further from the truth. Many log home builders use standing dead timbers (trees that were killed while standing, either by insects or by fire), which, when felled, improves the health of the forest and reduces the wildfire threat. Log house companies that use live trees practice reforestation, and, unlike planned 2-by-4s, the milling process for log homes reduces construction waste and minimizes the carbon footprint in the process. Plus, many log manufacturers recycle the waste they do create into mulch or even biofuel to heat their mills.
Log House Design is Versatile. Whether your style is a cozy classic log cabin or a modern mountain chalet featuring contemporary architectural design and a mix of building materials, log house construction can be anything you want it to be.
Open Concept is Standard. In an age where everyone wants an open-concept floor plan design, log home designs have had them from the start. As you peruse log home providers’ plans, you’ll see that your choices are as plentiful as they are functional.
Energy Efficient. When a log house is properly built, it can meet or exceed today’s strict energy codes. R-value, combined with the thermal mass of a log wall, a tight sealant system, and high-quality roof insulation, windows, and doors will increase comfort while decreasing your energy consumption. Log homes are also known for their thermal mass which means they stay cooler in the warmer summer months and warmer in the winter months.
Log Homes for Treasured Memories. When you buy a log home as a recreational property it’s the perfect place to bring the family together, a place where you can make memories to last a lifetime
