Double story, 6-bedroom Log-home with all the qualities you might desire for a prefect large family home, a holiday home, or to generate huge additional income from renting out either of the floors, while you still want to travel the world.
If you might wonder why a log/wood-home is such an ideal and preferred coastal building choice, here are just some of the benefits of a wood-home which you might not have known:
- It provides for exceptional load bearing capacity (20% higher strength to weight ratio than steel) and is extremely durable,
- Its flexible and light and can even withstand earthquakes with magnitude over 8,
- It provides excellent thermal insulation (6x more insulating than brick) and requires less energy for heating and cooling,
- Its watertight and damp proof, and
provides a pleasant and healthy living environment,
- Unlike brick, wood “breathes” and is therefore a source of “tranquility” and “balance, and is an ecological and natural element, which fits perfectly in a conservatory area such as Dana Bay (eco-friendly),
- It provides increased fire protection due to non-combustible linings and fire retardants,
- In the US, over 90% of single-family homes are built of wood.
