The log aesthetic
Log homes and cabins are a romantic story of a simpler way of life. They connect people with nature through craftsmanship in harmony with the character of big wood. Imperfections and simple materials invite a spiritual experience through self-reflection.
Build or buy?
A new log home allows you to choose a floor plan, log profile, and site it on your lot. If you are looking for a building lot, consider that you may be able to harvest necessary timber from the land. This can add to the personality and value of a home by anchoring it to the site with provenance.
Long term value
Log homes tend to hold their value better and appreciate in price more than a comparable suburban house. They are lifestyle properties that attract aspirational buyers. As such, they are located and finished to higher standards that contribute to their exclusive character.
