Seven North Log Homes

High on a mountainside in northern Vermont sits a rustic-looking home loaded with 21st-century technologies. Real Log Homes crafted the luxury log estate using 10-inch diameter Swedish Cope-style logs that make it look as though it had been on the site for generations.

The property ― an 11,600-square-foot, three-level, seven-bedroom home ― is outfitted with state-of-the-art, wireless connections and programmable lighting and HVAC that can be controlled remotely.

The second floor features a 9-inch open web floor truss system that masks the tech-smart home’s wiring and ductwork.

Combining Modern Features With Traditional Craftsmanship

The great room features a custom-built entertainment center and an efficient, radiant-heat fireplace. Exposed floor joists below the balcony enhance the home’s rustic charm, while the air-exchange system with heat recovery keeps the home energy-efficient.

As with the rest of the home, the kitchen combines modern and traditional materials. Mahogany cabinets are offset by digital lighting and a home audio system.

An iron and Brazilian cherry two-story spiral staircase leads to a cherry hardwood flooring-lined foyer on the home’s main living level. The home and garage feature radiant floor heating throughout.

Luxuriously-Crafted Spaces, One-of-a-Kind Details

Exposed log joists grace much of the main living area, while a local artisan created the dining room table.

A second-floor catwalk connecting the master suite and two bedrooms offers dramatic views of the Vermont countryside.

The master suite boasts rich wood cabinetry in its bathroom and a unique, inlaid wood wardrobe in the bedroom.

Outside, Seven North Log Homes built a handcrafted custom porte-cochere to help the home owners brave the worst winter elements Vermont has to offer.
