Yes, a well-built, handcrafted log home is more expensive than a conventional stud frame home. Also, many log homes have features not found in todays housing such as rock fireplaces, hardwood floors and reproduction hardware. A typical log shell will range in cost from $40 (US) to $60 (US) per square foot and a good rule of thumb for a well appointed turn-key project is 3 times the cost of the shell.
