Natural Log homes Log Office
yes we do have a log office at our construction yard right here in Geraldine, you are welcome any time, This is probably the log building hub of the southern hemisphere, its a place where customers can sit and meet with a log home architect, you can grab a coffee and browse the log home plan books, and tons of other log home books. I have pictures of every home we have built, and tons of photos of interiors of log homes, and all of the specific style types, roof types, interior styles etc, that you can choose for your log home. It is the class room for the numerous log home building courses I teach. And its the pulse center for Natural log homes, where you’ll sometimes find Christine at the desk.
Tack rooms, for horse lovers
Ive now built two log tack rooms, we can add an awesome feature to the outside corners of tack rooms where we purposely extend a lower wall log out to take one or two saddles, believe me I know its great to just slide that saddle off to a convenient saddle stand, (we make these also)
Clearwater
Let me explain, all of the log homes pictures here have started from the same basic log home plan of the Clearwater design, each log cabin is slightly different as each customer is different, folk have taken this plan and either stretched it out, or shrunk it down, or added an entry way, or add a roof dormer window or a skylight etc, Even the internal walls can be changed around to suit what you wish to have, Log internal walls can be added for effect also, Our customers have custom suited this plan to their own needs, location, views, etc. We have built many of these Clear water style of Log homes now and our customers love them. Jess Paterson Architect can custom draw your plan to suit you.

Ungrateful Alpaca Cabin,
The Ungrateful alpaca cabin was once an alpaca shelter in a paddock at Geraldine, but the alpaca didnt use it even when it snowed, so cleaver log builder cut the cabin in half, down the short walls, expanded it by 1.2m, called expanded log construction, then added another round and a half on top, and it became another beauty sleeping cabin at our camp site.
