Stunning 2593 SF 3 bedroom 2-1/2 bath Swedish Cope log home located in Forest Lakes and just steps from over 18,000 acres of State and Federal land. Built by Paul Everett Construction using Lodge Logs Timber Products blends simply with its environment, yet adapts graciously to its sophisticated interior design inviting you to come in, relax and take in the views! This authentic log home uses premium 10 - inch Ponderosa Pine logs that are handpicked and harvested directly by Lodge Logs producing a higher quality product. The quality of construction is evident, by using full saddle notch corners they are able to create a unique building style resulting in full round logs inside and out. The other unique building feature is the thru-bolt process designed by Lodge Log Timber Products, using a 5/8" threaded steel rod that runs from the foundation to the top of the log wall through pre-drilled holes. By compressing and tensioning the logs they are able to virtually eliminate any settling problems, provide a weather tight seal, and eliminate the need to chink saving thousands of dollars over the life of the home.
