No other construction style draws on Mother Nature as a muse so overtly than a log or timber frame home. From the use of natural building materials to the influence of a property’s topography on the floor plan to the siting of the home to optimize for passive solar heating and cooling, a log or timber frame home and the land upon which it sits are inextricably linked.

Maybe you dream of a grand lodge up in the mountains, a sprawling ranch tucked into a golden prairie or even a modern escape, perched on the edge of a lake.
