A North Carolina cabin can be a restful retreat.
Cabins in North Carolina have become a tremendously popular housing option for people from across the country. The cool mountain streams and beautiful vistas provide a peaceful backdrop and help acclimate newcomers to the pace of mountain life. Whether it's a trailer, a modular, or a pre-fab home, there are a variety of options for North Carolinians looking for a cabin-style dwelling. Does this Spark an idea?
Trailer
Trailer designs have come a long way over the years.
One option is to simply purchase a trailer which has an exterior facade that mimics that of a log cabin. The construction methods of trailers has dramatically changed over the years and many models are difficult to differentiate from traditional stick-built homes. Additionally, there are time and cost-savings benefits with purchasing a trailer over other construction options.
Modular
Modular homes can be designed with log cabin exteriors.
The next step up from a trailer would be a modular home. These homes are built to higher standards than trailers and often under more rigorous regulations than traditional home construction. Modular homes have thicker walls, steeper roof pitches, and more customization options than their trailer counterparts. Additionally, off-frame modulars can often be appraised as stick-built homes in many areas which can lead to higher appreciation rates.
Pre-fab
Pre-fab homes are designed and built in warehouses before being setup on your property.
The last pre-built cabin option in North Carolina is to purchase a pre-fab home. These houses are designed, cut, and assembled in warehouses before being shipped in parts to your location. The parts are then assembled on site providing for reduced construction times. These homes are also the most like traditional stick-built homes and are the most customizable. Some pre-fab home manufacturers simply apply an exterior facade which mimics that of a log cabin, while others are completely pre-fab log homes.
