The **Acadian** is a classic full-length structural log home design that combines traditional proportions with a flexible and efficient floor layout suited to both owner-builders and contractors.
Typical footprints include:
• 28′ × 36′
• 32′ × 44′
Both maintain the same balanced exterior appearance while allowing flexibility in interior planning.
Dormers can be built in either **gable or shed style**, depending on whether additional loft headroom or exterior styling is preferred.
Common layout options include:
• two bedrooms on the main floor with a loft master suite
• master suite on the main floor with two loft bedrooms
• loft sitting area overlooking the great room
• optional exterior deck access from the loft level
Because the Acadian uses full-length structural logs, the complete wall package can typically be delivered on a single truckload depending on log diameter selection and delivery distance.
This design is well suited for contractor assembly or experienced owner-builder crews using conventional lifting equipment. Larger diameter log packages (such as 14″ class structural logs) generally require crane placement during shell assembly.
Acadian Log Homes supplies **precision-prefit structural log shell packages manufactured directly from our Crown timber allocation**, allowing builders to work directly with the source material rather than through a retail package distributor.
