facing due south with a sprawling backyard and a view of georgian bay, the property backs onto crown land of craigleith provincial park, land that will never be developed, providing a feeling of expanded acreage and privacy.
the inspiration behind the build was to create a unique, generational vacation home that could support a large and expanding family. with the backdrop of the escarpment to the south and georgian bay to the north, the design of this handcrafted log home was forged in 2000.

to many, a handcrafted log home is the only “true” log home. the logs are still in unique natural form, the only alter ation being that they have been hand stripped of the outer bark and part or all of the “cambium” or inner bark layer. handcrafted log building has an aesthetic advantage – each log of every building is unique and distinctly different from every other – creating a unique building every time.
synonymous with beauty and artistry. each log is tapered, hand-peeled, and set in place. oftentimes, large character posts are a defining architectural feature of handcrafted log homes. the hand-hewn texture and variation in log diameter along with the necessary chinking adds rustic authenticity to handcrafted log homes.
