How did we decide to build a Log Home? Well, it starts like this;
Rose and I had been looking at custom homes in magazines for a few years. We had
talked about someday building a house the way we wanted it. We saw a
"Hometime" show on building a Log Home, and that got us started. We
loved the look and the rustic feeling of the Logs. We like large porches, a cozy
master bedroom, A bath with a soaking tub, and a fireplace. We had found several
books and magazines on Log homes, and had even picked out a few plans that we
really liked, but they were impractical for our purpose. (but, its fun to
dream). Then, when we were camping, on vacation, we decided the area we were
camping at was a good location to buy property. We Found a great Corner Lot for
a good deal and Bought it. This lot would be a great place to put a little get
away, weekend retreat, or just a great place to stay when for a weekend, and
what a great investment. So, that's what started us on this Road.
a Custom Design. A simple
Two-Story Log Home in Alta Sierra California.
This compact
two-bedroom, two-story Log home owes its expansive feeling to an open, loft
style, floor plan and spacious decks, and covered front porch. The well-planned
wall of windows give the great room and dining area a view of the forest that
surrounds it. A open kitchen accents a bay-windowed dining room, with access to
the great room and wood burning stove. The master suite and bath features a
large whirlpool tub and a balcony. One additional bedroom share a hall
bath.
We will be adding a garage at a later time.
We will be concentrating only on the house and
adding the garage later. The plans come with a carport which we will use until
time comes that we might convert it to a garage.
