Hi Ron,

Cost for what?..to buy it..to clean it..to restore it??..for any of those you would have to know more about it..size it for us.

[Ron Musgraves 240]

to build to buy... sorry

[Mike Williamson 198]

That'd depend on a lot! What the size? What's the inside like? Does the price include the lot?

[Paul B. 523]

$225K without the snow.

[CCHSNC 14]

No offense but that's like people wanting an estimate over the phone for a deck restoration. lol Don't ya think more info should be given?

[One Tough Pressure 580]

Where have you been visiting Ron? I doubt that was in your area.

Around here, The answer would be, "what's a cabin"

[Specialized 14]

We just purchased our cabin in Utah for $85,500 although the interior isnt quite finished...1344sf on 1/2 acre with water rights. Ill try and post the pic.

[Ron Musgraves 240]

I think pauls right for my area... except in the mountains.

[Scott Stone 604]

It depends on which mountains you are talking about. In our area that would be a $400,000 cabin in Flagstaff, $550,000 in Munds park, and $150,000 in Payson. You might be able to get a deal outside of Show Low, but only due to the Fire a couple of years ago.

It is really too ambiguous of a question.

It is with tongue in cheek that I posted the $225K price tag.

I do agree, that without knowing many details, estimating the cost of a log home is impossible. Many factors go into a home.

Log homes in the Central Virginia area are running about $100 to $125 per square foot of heated living space. This number does not include the land. However, these square foot numbers includes a turn-key operation with normal excavation, a short driveway, a well and septic, a foundation, sub-floor, the log package, the labor to erect it, and all the interior finish items of above average quality.

At $100 per square foot, a 2600 plus square foot home like the one shown in the photo would cost at least $260K (at $125 per sq ft would drive the cost to $325K. (Again, that is only for heated living place.)

Foundation: The average 8' full basement runs about $17 sq ft. An alternative to block and poured foundations are Superior Wall systems. These 8', 9' and 10' manufactured wall systems start at $12 per sq. ft.

Basements: Finished basements typically run $25 per square foot.

Well and Septic: Typically a well with a well pump will cost about $4,500 and a septic system for a three bedroom home runs about $4,500, with a pump extra. These figures can vary depending on the depth of the water table and the soil conditions on the lot.

Other variables are:

- Sub-floors

- Framing

- Insulation

- Interior Walls (drywall or white pine tongue and groove)

- Painting and Staining

- Flooring (vinyl, carpet, ceramic, terazzo, marble)

- Fireplaces (cultured stone, real stone, wood mantle, fire boxes, wood burning stoves)

- Mechanicals: (plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems) $450 per plumbing fixture for labor and materials, $2.80 sq ft for electrical labor and materials, $5,000 per unit for Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning.

-Bathroom fixtures: vary depending on the quality level and price of the selections The average bathroom, fixtures such as a double sink, vanity, faucets, bath tub, 4' shower stall with door and standard toilet will start at approximately $2,500 per full bath. Whirlpools start at about $1,200 and garden tubs at about $800 plus the faucets and drains.

- Kitchens: From gourmet to the fast food, it will vary. Allowances of $6,000-$9,000 for cabinetry and laminate counter tops and $2,800 for appliances are a good start. Granite, soapstone and Corian countertops are premium items, and will demand premium price.

- Doors and windows

- Roof: The price per square of heavy guage tin starts at $400 per square plus the installation labor.

- Deck

etc., etc., etc.

[Ron Musgraves 240]

Welcome Robert, I noticed that was your first post... that should deserve a welcome.

[Paul B. 523]

Ron is right on... Belated welcome to the BB Robert!
