Blue Ridge Custom & Log Homes’ manufacturer, Honest Abe Log Homes, recognized the popularity of homes that may not be constructed using full log or timber frame systems, but desire the look and feel they offer.

For this reason, Honest Abe developed the Southern TimberCraft line of homes. These homes incorporate many of the same timber elements that may be found in both log and timber frame homes. However, they utilize Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the exterior walls or building envelope.

Not only can you create a one-of-a-kind custom home, it will be the strongest and most energy-efficient home in the neighborhood. Its efficiency will save you money on your utility bills each and every month, giving you a real return on investment.

We are proud to offer our Southern TimberCraft designs and styles of homes that offer the highest quality SIPs available on the market. These panels are manufactured by Honest Abe’s sister company just down the road from its national headquarters in Moss, TN.

The Franklin Floor Plan

The Franklin floor plan is an ideal design for those who want a home that feels both welcoming and peaceful. At 1,340 square feet, it is roomy enough for entertaining friends and family yet cozy enough for quiet weekends, restful retreats and everyday solitude.

Entry is through the covered front porch into a living room with a dramatic two-story ceiling. A staircase leads to a spacious sleeping loft with ample room for two full beds, four twin beds or bunk beds. Knee-wall closets provide a surprising amount of storage, and some homeowners choose to add built-in chests of drawers for even greater convenience.

Beneath the loft on the first floor is a guest bedroom with an adjacent full bath that also serves the main living area.

The kitchen offers practical workspace with optional island seating, room for appliances and space for a stackable washer and dryer.

At the rear of the kitchen is a large master suite with a full bath, walk-in closet and private entrance.

A screened-in porch, accessible from the kitchen, extends the living space outdoors and creates the perfect place to enjoy fresh air, morning coffee or a quiet evening.

The Franklin’s exterior has a charming cottage-like feel, highlighted by a windowed front gable and a right-side dormer.

Like all Blue Ridge Custom and Log Homes floor plans, the Franklin can be built as a log, timber frame or hybrid home.

The Waverly may be modest in size, but its design packs a punch, maximizing every inch of its two-story, 1,344-square-foot layout. This home exudes charm and functionality, with thoughtful features that enhance both style and practicality.

A standout feature of the Waverly is its clever use of outdoor space. A three-quarter covered wrap porch envelops the great room at the front, while a full-length covered back porch extends the living area, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Step inside, and the great room welcomes you with a cathedral ceiling adorned with a heavy timber roof system, evoking a sense of grandeur and warmth. The kitchen, complete with a bar accommodating four and a walk-in pantry, beckons aspiring chefs and hosts alike. Adjacent, the dining area offers a separate space for meals, fostering an intimate ambiance for gatherings.

Practicality meets style in the mudroom, where the laundry and a closeted powder room reside, ensuring convenience without compromising on aesthetics.

Ascending the stairs, you’ll find two cozy bedrooms and a full bath, providing comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike. Ample storage solutions abound, with three closets and a linen closet offering space for belongings and essentials.

The Waverly was envisioned to blend elements of several architectural styles, utilizing a variety of materials such as logs, timbers, stone, and wood shakes. This eclectic approach results in a home that exudes character and charm, inviting homeowners to embrace their individuality and express their unique tastes.

As with all Honest Abe Log Homes floor plans, the Waverly offers the flexibility to choose from log, timber frame, hybrid, or structural insulated panel (SIP) construction methods, ensuring that each homeowner can bring their vision to life with confidence and ease.

The Pinebluff is an excellent choice for those seeking a large lakeside home that combines luxury, comfort and easy indoor-outdoor living. With 2,840 square feet on one floor, this spacious design offers a traditional layout enhanced by generous gathering spaces and inviting outdoor areas.

At the heart of the home is a large kitchen with an island, breakfast nook and plenty of room for meal preparation and casual conversation. A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for entertaining family and guests.

The master suite is designed as a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, luxury bath and its own fireplace. Two additional bedrooms are served by a second full bath, providing comfortable accommodations for family members or overnight guests.

The great room features a cathedral ceiling and a fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming focal point for the home. Both the great room and the master suite open onto a deck anchored by a central covered porch beneath a heavy timber roof. This outdoor living area makes the Pinebluff especially appealing for a lakeside setting, offering the perfect place to relax, dine or enjoy the view.

A mudroom connects the two-car garage to the main house, adding everyday convenience. Nestled between the kitchen and the garage is a screened porch with ample space for serving meals, gathering with friends or simply unwinding in the fresh air.

Like all Blue Ridge Custom and Log Homes floor plans, the Pinebluff can be built as a log, timber frame or hybrid home.
