PrecisionCraft Custom Handcrafted Log Homes

 

Nothing compares to the beauty and artistry of a handcrafted log home. Our handcrafted log homes are typically designed with full hand hewed log walls, ridges, trusses & purlins. Each log is individually selected, hand cut and intricately placed. Each of our handcrafted log homes is a one-of-a-kind work of art that will live on for generations.

Mountain Architects, PrecisionCraft’s esteemed architectural firm, focuses on the design of custom mountain style homes and has designed award-winning handcrafted log home plans, such as the Caribou, pictured to the left.

 

Of the 65+ floor plan concepts displayed on our site, many were conceived as handcrafted log home plans. If you find a design or floor plan you like that was not originally drawn as a handcrafted home, we can easily customize that plan and redraw it using handcrafted logs. See an example of the Caribou plan redrawn as all five of our mountain style homes.

 

Whether you find a floor plan you want to modify, or come to us with an original vision, Mountain Architects will work one on one with you to design your ideal luxury handcrafted log home.
