More New Plans!
We want to continue to share the amazing new plans that we launched this year! It has been so fun for the team to come up with new designs that incorporate a lot of the “new” trends that homeowners want in 2020, while also maintaining the beauty and charm that defines a log home. We hope they speak to you in one way or other and gets those creative juices flowing for the design of YOUR home!
Songbird: Imagine a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in 1039 square feet! The Songbird is based on our always popular Hideaway design. By adding dormers to the second floor, the loft turns into 2 bedrooms and a bath. If you are looking for a well designed smaller home, the Songbird may be just the home for you!
Rolling Hills: Does this plan fit your needs? Main level: large open great room. Large master suite. Wrap around porch. Half bath. Mud/utility room. Second floor: second bedroom. Full bath. Loft that can be another bedroom or office. The Rolling Hills design has it all!
River Oaks: This executive luxury one story home is beautiful, efficient and full of surprises. It is a “reverse ranch” with 2 bedrooms on the main level plus 3 bedrooms on the lower level. Luxurious baths off all but one bedroom. Butlers pantry between the oversized garage and the kitchen for the ultimate in convenience. Check out the amazing rear porch with a fireplace! Anything else you could possibly need?
Love this plan but don’t want a finished basement? Our River Oaks II plan is just that – this exact footprint but only one story on a slab or a crawlspace. Or an unfinished basement. The choice is yours between the River Oaks and the River Oaks II.
The Bluffs: At 2160 square feet of luxurious log home living, The Bluffs lives large! The amazing rear porch features a fireplace that soars through the two story roof. With an additional 1180 sq ft of porches and deck, you are able to enjoy outdoor living at its finest.
