eLog Homes presents a masterfully created small 320-square-foot the Buck Creek log home, which through its one single story cabin with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a very high cathedral ceiling manages to convey an adequate yet airy feeling. Such a space is perfect for a single person, a couple, or people who are looking for a peaceful holiday. The log home Buck Creek made by eLog Homes, a company specialized in log home craftsmanship, combines the use of the old method of making houses out of logs with modern-day utility to come up with a tiny but multi-purpose living space that feels both comfy and large at the same time.
The Buck creek outside is a picture of simple refinement. Made from hand-hewn logs, its natural wood finish brings out the warmth and durability, merges perfectly with the forest or nature but still can be used in a suburban area. Although there is no conventional porch, a 20-square-foot deck, a small open-air area that can be equipped with a bistro table and two chairs, is a suitable place to have coffee in the morning or watch the sunset in the evening. The log walls, which are carefully stained to highlight the grain and to protect from the weather, have been done in a style that is timeless and will always be fashionable hence the cabin will always be a valuable addition to any property.
The main highlight of the Buck Creek is the cathedral ceiling that is visible from the inside and gives that 320-square-foot interior a feeling of vastness. The high ceiling, which is held up by the exposed log beams, gives more volume to the whole room and makes it lit by the sun coming through the large windows and the use of wood creates a natural look in the room. The single-story house also has a master bedroom on the ground floor thus the first floor is easily accessible plus the open floor plan combines the living room, kitchen, and dining room into one functional space. The bathroom is solely for the purpose of efficiency and has space for modern fixtures that complement the rustic look. eLog Homes have done a great job in assembling this home with accuracy to make sure that it not only looks good but lasts long.
With The Buck Creek’s adaptability, it is a great choice for continuous use throughout the year. When the weather is great, the home and cathedral ceiling design will provide an airy and comfortable setting, therefore, one can rest by the open deck door and enjoy a cool breeze. In the cold periods, the house is made of logs, hence, good insulation is ensured and the house retains its warmth if a wood-burning stove or an electric heater is used, thus, the cabin is a nice place to rest even in the coldest days of winter. The small footprint greatly reduces energy consumption and thus, it is in line with the sustainable living policy. Besides, the deck of 20 square feet length acts as an extension of the living area so one can enjoy the open outdoors during the off-season, be it a barbecue in summer or sipping your hot cocoa in autumn.
Unfinished interiors provide a clean slate for future owners to adapt the home in a fashion that suits their requirements. Modern or rustic open floor plans can be utilized where one may install a cozy wood cabin kitchen or a fully functional kitchenette with stainless steel appliances coming into play and blending with the remaining log wall surfaces. The living room in turn may be equipped with some built-in seating, which will create a lovely corner and at the same time magnify the feeling of space due to the cathedral ceiling providing enough room for a dramatic chandelier or recessed lighting to enhance the atmosphere. To gain more space, the bedroom may be installed with space-saving built-in cupboards whereas the bathroom could have walk-in showers finished with stone tiles to create a spa-like appearance. Owners can decide to add skylights in order to improve the effect of the cathedral ceiling as well as allow the stars, the morning rays, or the sky to come through and light up the room. Such versatility allows the Buck Creek to be used as a main residence, a holiday cabin, or a rental where guests may stay when looking for a countryside getaway.
What makes Buck Creek beautiful is its minimalism and everlasting design. The logs on the outside of the house plus the cathedral ceiling are reminiscent of typical cabins’ charm, meanwhile, the tiny 320-square-foot layout is quite low in maintenance and efficient. The cabin can be found either in a forest clearing or on a suburban lot, and he/she who looks at it will see that it is perfectly integrated since the natural wood colors and the unpretentious deck are the things that make it a friendly presence. Buck Creek, thus, is a minimalist haven for solo dwellers; a romantic retreat for couples; a charming rental opportunity for investors. The build by eLog Homes is very solid and therefore, the log construction and quality materials can be expected to last for years without losing their attractiveness.
