New High School in Hickory, NC

University Christian High School just recently purchased property across from the Lenoir-Rhyne University horseshoe. The high school has been operating in a leased location in Concord, NC. The new Hickory, NC site is scheduled to be open for the 2011-2012 term. Because the school will be in such close proximity to Lenoir-Rhyne University, juniors and seniors will have the option of earning up to 30 college credits. Ground breaking is expected to take place in fall 2010. Building plans are being finalized in preparation for a groundbreaking tentatively scheduled for this fall. The existing high school in Conover is currently accepting applications for 2010-2011. For more information, contact principal Bill Unverfehrt at 828-464-3011.

Have you thought about a log cabin home?

On Monday, July 5, I read an interesting article in the Hickory Daily Record. A gentleman named Toy Ballard had a dream of living in a log cabin. One day, he took the trees from his land and hand-built his very own log cabin home.

This idea made me wonder if many potential real estate clients might consider steps to make “green” housing that really gets back to basics. With so many changes that we have seen in the lending markets and Americans now focusing on saving more and spending less, a log cabin home could be an ideal solution.

I am reminded of a trip I took to visit a log cabin home manufacturer in Winston Salem, Colonial Structures, Inc. Visitors are able to see scaled model homes and view how the lumber is prepared onsite. It was a very good experience and I recommend that anyone considering building a log home visit the manufacturer’s site. Shown here is one of Colonial’s featured homes located in Banner Elk, NC.

Colonial offers log cabin floor plans ranging from 840 sqft to 4,800 sqft. For those of you interested enough to learn more about purchasing a manufactured log cabin, take a look at the materials included in their standard package:

I suspect there are plenty of adventurists out there who would prefer to build their own log cabin. For those do-it-yourself folks, I recommend joining the Log Home Builders Association and attending one of their 2-day courses on learning how to build a log cabin. (Hey, this year, the seminar takes place in Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend – talk about perfect location and timing!) Take a look at one of the log cabins built by a student who attended the Log Home Builders Association seminar.

I am a native resident of western North Carolina and we have plenty of mountains with breathtaking views. If you are interested in building your dream log cabin home, please contact me to begin your adventure!
