You’ve been thinking about building the log home of your dreams and now you have two vital decisions to make. First, what professional builder will you use, and second, what log home location to select? Let’s bring those two key decisions together.
Selecting the Right Log Home Location
As you consider your log home location, you’ll want to think about a few things. Consider all of your personal location requirements including proximity to schools, roadways, utilities, access to city amenities and the outdoor environment.
Consider contacting the zoning authorities to determine if the zoning laws will permit you to build a log home there and then speak with your log home builder to ensure that they can service the locations that you are considering.
