• Standard Timber Frame & Exposed Beam Package: Timber frame home packages are a hot seller due to their versatility and cost-effective design. This style of home often features a modern and rustic aesthetic. Timber frame house styles feature a conventional frame construction, often with single-hewn, chiseled siding. Inside an exposed beam home, you’ll find wood ceilings and timber accents, including trusses, beams, and trim, all of which add character to this style of home.

• Maintenance-Free Exposed Beam Package: This exposed beam home package incorporates everything you love about timber-style homes with maintenance-free materials for less upkeep.
• Ultra Custom Timber Frame Home Packages: If you are looking for a luxury timber frame home style, this is the one for you. The Ultra Custom Timber Frame Home Package takes everything to the next level with high-end amenities and exquisite craftsmanship. Double-hewn siding is used on the exterior of the home along with heavier trims, band boards, and beams. View all of the available Ultra Custom Timber Series floor plans.

• Full Log Home Package: With a full log cabin home package, you are going to get the traditional cabin look that you know and love. The exterior of the home is constructed with logs stacked on top of one another, and these are the same logs that make up the interior walls. There are various corner options for log homes, including dovetail, saddle notch, butt and pass, vertical, and curve cut corners. The corners are precision cut, which means they will be an exact fit when stacked, making the construction process easy. The client can choose between rounded or square logs, which are all precision-milled. A d-shaped log is round on the outside and flat on the inside, a square log is flat on both sides and can be hand-hewn or chiseled, while a double round log is round on both sides. These homes have a traditional rustic appearance and are structurally sound. With a full log home package, you can still add nonstructural timber trusses and beams as decorative elements.

• Quarter & Half Log Cabin Home Packages: Another popular option is the half or quarter log house package, which is a blend of the timber frame style and log cabin design. A quarter or half log cabin package gives you the flexibility to have various finishes. You can have a half-log exterior, and the interior walls could be a combination of styles, using logs, timber, drywall, reclaimed wood, reclaimed barn board, tongue and groove, and stone. These homes start with a conventionally framed wall, and then the half-log exterior siding is applied with a hidden fastener system. Corners are still full logs, so you can't even tell it’s not a full log home. See all of the premium full and half log floor plans.

There are two specialized options for timber and log home packages, one that meets strict code requirements and one that is more contemporary.

• Concrete Timber & Log Home Package: This log and timber frame home style is ideal for locations where strict wildfire codes are enforced. The concrete siding satisfies those requirements, reduces maintenance, and offers the timber style look.
• Modern Mountain Home Package: For a trendy design, the Modern Mountain home style blends a contemporary exterior design with an exposed beam interior. This timber frame home package features a mono-pitched, asymmetrical roof instead of the traditional gable roof. Another highlight of this style is the tall wall of glass, using thin Pella Impervia windows, which are perfect for maximizing views of the surrounding landscape.

Modify the log or timber frame home package a little bit or a lot until it’s exactly what you want. You'll want to choose a builder who aligns with your goals. Then, once your design is approved, construction begins on your dream custom log and timber home.
