  1. Tips for Planning Your First Log Cabin Home People want custom built log cabin homes for different reasons. Some want to own a property that is devoted to vacations and relaxation while others are looking for a place where they can spend their retirement days comfortably. Some even build log cabin homes as their permanent or primary houses. Owning a log cabin home has many benefits regardless of why you want one. But it’s just like building a traditional home, which means that proper planning is necessary. If you are considering building a custom log home, then the following tips are for you. 1. Look for a lender if you are not paying cash. Before anything else, you must be sure first that you are capable of funding and maintaining your log cabin. This home should be a blessing that you can enjoy—not a financial curse that will tie you down. Give yourself time to save and get your finances in order. If you intend to borrow money, look for a mortgage company that offers construction loans. It’s a good idea to get pre-approved first before you choose a builder. 2. Search for the right location. Work with a real estate agent who specializes in custom built log cabin homes. If you want to work alone, then make sure to check the site's soil condition, zoning, accessibility, and other factors that may affect its suitability for building log cabins. You will need the help of soil engineers for proper analysis of the lots or sites you are looking into buying. 3.

It is better to choose people who are experts in log cabin homes in particular as they have they have more experience in this field. They know where to source construction materials and how to design your new home according to your wants and needs. 4. Decide on the log cabin home design A good builder has a catalog of log cabin home styles to choose from, but the best builder will help you in customizing the perfect floorplan that suits the size of your family and lifestyle. They can assist you in maximizing the best features while taking the size, shape, and views in consideration.
