There's a lot of debate about the "true" cost to build a log home.
That's why I found a Golden Eagle Log Homes ad in the latest issue of Log Home Living magazine (December 2007) so interesting.
I appreciate the fact that they chose to face the facts and state upfront the "true" cost to build one of their log homes.
We specialize in affordably priced, high-quality homes ranging from $115 to $175 per sq. ft."
In the ad, they listed the following estimated prices to build a log home from scratch.

- Log home package - 8"x8" D full log $147,515
