The Lost Acres is a custom log home addition and renovation designed to transform an existing family cabin into a larger, more comfortable retreat. Set on a quiet property surrounded by woods and water, this home honors the rustic character of the original structure while expanding the living space, improving functionality, and creating a place designed for gathering, relaxing, and long-term family enjoyment.
The project was completed in stages, beginning with the addition and new garage, then continuing with the installation of a fireplace, pool, and landscaping. The result is a thoughtfully evolved home that feels personal, established, and deeply connected to its setting.
The main level brings together open living, dining, and kitchen areas designed for everyday comfort and easy conversation. Custom cabinetry, warm wood interiors, a spacious sunroom, and a stone fireplace create a welcoming atmosphere, while generous windows and outdoor access help connect the home to the surrounding landscape. A mudroom that also serves as a laundry room, attached garage, half bath, and guest suite add practical function to the main floor.
Upstairs, the private owner’s suite includes an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, loft area, and a private balcony designed for quiet moments overlooking the property. The loft offers flexible space for reading, relaxing, watching TV, or enjoying a slower pace at the end of the day.
From the original cabin to the expanded custom retreat, The Lost Acres shows how an existing home can be reimagined with care, craftsmanship, and a clear understanding of how a family wants to live.
