Natural Elements is the manufacturer of beautiful log homes, small to large. They provide the materials (The logs, framing, windows, main structure of home.) You have to get a general contractor to complete the interior of home. They can generally refer a general contractor to you they have worked with before. Keep in mind when you build a log home these are custom homes even if they are smaller.

You will spend roughly $200 to $240 a square foot to build the entire home, maybe more if you go with a very high-end larger model. The folks at Natural Elements Homes were great to work with and modified

The homes are very beautiful. My husband and I drove from Chicago and called to tell them we were coming about 3 hours before arrival to make sure someone would be there to talk with us. We have both always loved the look of timber beams but had never had the time to seriously look into building a home with these beautiful beams. We arrived at the Sweetwater TN models and met the salesman behind the desk. What an unfruitful and unpleasant experience. We were told how expensive these homes were to build. We expected they werent inexpensive to build because of the craftsmanship. We are expecting

We love our Natural Element Log Home. Our sales rep was aware of our budget and did a great job of helping us find the package that would allow us to meet our financial goals. We also chose a builder who listened to our concerns, helped us make intelligent finish choices, and we came in UNDER budget. I would do all again in heartbeat! GREAT experience with wonderful people.
