Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
I am not selling anything I am just trying to give you some information:
If you are interested in a log home you will probably be shocked at the cost of the kits that are sold. You might be better off purchasing your logs from a mill and hiring someone to set them. The kit companies all have their own crews and build the cabin/home completely from the ground up. They get top dollar for everything. Some kits I've seen priced at $300.00 per square foot excluding land-septic-well. If you had a good general contractor you should be able to get the costs to under $100.00 PSF by buying logs from a mill and not a kit. In our part of the country, $100.00 PSF will get you a VERY well constructed frame or log home.
Here is a link to a cabin we built, 980 sq feet, 2 acres of land, with well and septic- sold for 99,000.00 We do build and sell these things but like I said I am not trying to sell you anything. Here are links to the pics- if one doesn't work, try the other.
