Floor Plans: Rustic Charm Meets High-Tech Luxury and Comfort
Manufacturer:
Real Log Homes
Builder:
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.
