At Modern Rustic Homes, we balance the convenience of modern technology with exceptional craftsmanship and time-honored rustic beauty. Our process begins with a focus on YOU!. If you can describe it, we can draw and build it, always keeping your budget and building system in the forefront of our minds.
At Modern Rustic Homes we use a mix of rustic materials such as poplar bark, fletch board, logs, rough sawn planks and heavy timbers. Add stone accents and you now have a unique look and feel. These homes have a human scale that is comforting and convenient. One of the most popular architectural styles requested today is Craftsman.
Timber frame homes showcase both simplicity and elegance, achieved with exposed heavy timbers that make up the structural elements of the building. Hammer beam truss details and mortise and tenon joinery provide a beautiful interior aesthetic to these homes, which range in style from "old world" Tudor to contemporary.

Over the past 30 years, we have built three houses. This experience with Caldwell Banker High Country Realty and Modern Rustic Homes, by far, has been the most pleasant and rewarding. From day one, our contact with Michael Grant has been a journey that any homeowner would relish. If we could script a perfect real estate experience, this would be it. Our intuition, after speaking with Michael for the first time, was…here is a trustworthy, meticulous and professional Realtor and builder. While Michael provided real estate, design and architectural expertise, his team also included a builder, Joe

Image Doors provided custom Carriage House garage doors for a couple of Modern Rustic Homes projects. We enjoying working with their staff for the selection and installation of our products. The style and beauty on the log home designs highly complimented the outstanding quality of the garage doors.
