Set on five private acres at the end of a long asphalt drive, just minutes from Lake Wazeecha, this extraordinary log and timber residence is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to designing and building custom homes. Created by the former owner of Golden Eagle Log & Timber Homes for his daughter, it brings together decades of craftsmanship, inno
vation, and insight gained from helping thousands of families across North America create dream homes of their own. Every decision reflects a deep understanding of what makes a home not only beautiful, but genuinely enjoyable to live in: welcoming, functional, enduring, and thoughtfully prepared for every season of life.The approach makes an unforgettable first impression.
Professionally designed landscaping and curved interlocking-paver hardscaping by nationally renowned Preston Hardscape Design form a park-like setting accented by natural boulders. Twelve-inch full-log construction, saddle-notched corners, timber details, and stonework give the exterior an authentic sense of permanence.
An expansive covered porch wraps around the home, offering a peaceful place to enjoy the landscape in any weather. Maintenance-free Pella windows, ornamental fencing, an in-ground sprinkler system, corrugated-steel porch ceilings, soffit, and fascia pair timeless character with practical ease.
Keyless entry, security cameras, and a Kohler whole-home generator provide convenience and peace of mind. Inside, the great room captures the soul of the home. Its ceiling rises approximately 22 feet at the peak, framed by 10 1/2-foot sidewalls and a soaring, prow-shaped wall of glass that fills the interior with natural light.
At its center stands a commanding wood-burning fireplace rated at up to 89,000 BTUs, with a curved hearth and stone chase extending to the peak. Custom timber and metal accents, reclaimed wood floors, and covered-porch access from both sides create an atmosphere that feels grand yet remarkably comfortable.
A handcrafted timber staircase leads to the open loft, where solid Douglas fir trusses showcase traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Hand-hewn, edge-worn finishes lend the timbers the warmth of age, while custom lighting highlights their artistry after sunset.
Openings overlook the great room and front entry, and the roof's inverted valleys create a private office or quiet getaway. A large ceiling fan and reclaimed wood flooring complete this inspiring retreat. Designed as the heart of everyday life, the open kitchen is equally suited to quiet mornings and lively gatherings.
A generous island seats up to seven, with a Wolf induction range positioned so the host can prepare meals while remaining part of the conversation. The custom cabinetry pairs lightly finished cherry with a contrasting knotty alder island, enhanced by a soft, hand-applied patina, fluted details, decorative moldings, solid-wood dovetailed drawers, and soft-close doors and drawers.
Under-cabinet, toe-kick, and above-cabinet lighting add function and ambiance. Premium appliances and thoughtful conveniences integrate seamlessly. A built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator blends into the cabinetry, while a raised double-door oven, warming drawer, microwave drawer, dishwasher, trash compactor, recycling center, and oversized pot drawers keep everything within reach.
The quartz island is complemented by solid-surface perimeter counters and a custom granite farmhouse sink and instant hot-water dispenser. Wolf Induction Range w/downdraft ventilation preserves open sightlines, while pull-up outlets reduce visual clutter.
