When it comes to building a home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, no two families—or floor plans—are alike. At Blue Ridge Custom and Log Homes, we believe your home should be as unique as you are. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy mountain retreat or a spacious lodge-style estate, customization is the key to building a space that fits your lifestyle, your tastes, and your future.
As an independent dealer for Honest Abe Log Homes, we specialize in both custom log homes and timber frame homes built with Douglas fir timbers and structural insulated panels (SIPs). But what truly sets us apart is our ability to tailor each project to the needs and dreams of the homeowner.
Here’s how your home can reflect you—from floor plan to finishes.
Your Floor Plan, Your Way
Every great home starts with a solid plan—but at Blue Ridge, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all layouts.
We work with you to either:
-
Customize an existing Honest Abe floor plan
-
Modify a design based on your lot and lifestyle
-
Or create a completely original plan from scratch
Love to entertain? Let’s open up the living area and add a spacious kitchen island. Need space for hobbies, a home office, or visiting family? We can incorporate extra rooms, lofts, or finished basements. Your home’s layout should support your daily life—not restrict it.
Design That Matches Your Aesthetic
One of the biggest advantages of customizing a log or timber frame home is the design flexibility. Whether you lean rustic, modern, or somewhere in between, we can help you bring your style to life.
A few popular options include:
-
Exposed timber beams for dramatic interior character
-
Wall of windows to frame the mountain view
-
Stone fireplaces as a cozy centerpiece
-
Wraparound porches or decks for outdoor living
-
Lofts, open floor plans, and cathedral ceilings for volume and flow
Everything from the stain color of your logs to the cabinetry, flooring, and lighting can be handpicked to reflect your personality.
Built for How You Live
The best custom homes don’t just look good—they function perfectly for your lifestyle. Do you love cooking? Let’s design a kitchen that works for you. Need a dog-friendly mudroom? Want a laundry room near the master suite? Are you dreaming of a spa-inspired bathroom or reading nook tucked into a loft?
These are the details that make a house feel like home.
With timber frame homes built using Douglas fir and energy-efficient SIPs, we also help you think long-term—designing spaces that are beautiful, sustainable, and comfortable for all seasons in Western North Carolina.
Built for Where You Live
Customization also includes adapting your design to the natural features of your lot. Sloped land in the mountains may call for a walkout basement or a driveway that curves with the terrain. Scenic views might inspire floor-to-ceiling windows on the great room wall. Trees you want to keep could help determine your home’s footprint.
We work with you to respect your land, maximize your views, and make the most of your mountain setting.
It’s Not Just a House—It’s Your Dream
At Blue Ridge Custom and Log Homes, we don’t just build houses—we help homeowners bring their visions to life. From your first sketches to the final walk-through, we’re here to make sure your home truly reflects you.
You’re not choosing from a catalog. You’re creating a one-of-a-kind home that will serve as a gathering place, a sanctuary, and a reflection of your values and lifestyle.
Let’s Build Your Vision
Customization doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We guide you through the process, offering expert advice on everything from materials to layout to energy efficiency. As a proud dealer for Honest Abe Log Homes, we also offer trusted support, high-quality materials, and over four decades of experience in custom home building.
Let us help you design a log or timber frame home that feels like it was made just for you—because it is.
