Every Detail in This Luxury Timber Frame Home Tells a Story

Get ready to tour a luxury timber frame home that's as impressive as it is inviting. This luxurious home is located in Michigan and is designed for entertaining. With its private runway, waterfall, and a grand portico that makes a statement, this Golden Eagle estate blends elegance with everyday comfort. From the detailed timber trusses to the pool with its own splash pad, every part of this property is designed with care and style. This home was custom-built and based on our Timber Home On A Private Airstrip floor plan.

A grand portico greets you as you enter the luxury timber frame home. This covered area is supported by 12 by 12 hand-hewn beams and craftsman-style timber trusses with decorative metalwork as an added accent. Large double doors that are eight feet tall and six feet wide are framed by custom windows that let in plenty of natural light. This home also has a three-stall garage with timber posts that divide each bay. Various materials are used on the exterior of this timber frame home in Michigan, giving it a stunning appearance. The use of stonework, metal, hand-hewn timber, and glass adds to the charm of this timber frame plan.

Gable dormers add to the structure of the home and let in additional light. Rain chains are used instead of traditional downspouts and gutter systems, helping to channel water away from the roof and into stone basins. The exterior stone fireplace chaise and decorative chimney top with quarry stone and horizontal timbers add character and texture that draws the eye. Beautiful landscaping enhances the curb appeal with a stunning pond complete with waterfalls at the front of the luxury home.

This stunning dream house with a pond also features outdoor living areas that are designed for play and relaxation. This modern house with a pool is great for entertaining all summer. The pool features a splash pad and in-water seating, as well as plenty of patio space for lounging. A nearby pergola offers seclusion and shade. It can remain open or be closed off with its retractable screens or clear plastic panels. These features are perfect for light rain or to enjoy the outdoors bug-free. Wide patio doors open fully, blending the outdoors with the interior of this timber frame house.

The custom timber frame house interior is just as gorgeous as the exterior. Let's explore the inside of this luxury timber frame home.

• Transitional Gathering Room: Located just off the pool and patio area is the transitional gathering room that connects the outdoor space to the inside. The same stamped concrete flooring continues indoors. This transitional gathering room features our signature double-hewn timbers, giving the space a rustic feel. A large stone fireplace with a raised hearth adds warmth and extra seating. The fireplace features a hand-hewn timber mantle. This room connects to the open concept kitchen, dining room, and great room.

Large windows flood the great room with light and highlight the exquisite timber craftsmanship. A stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a reclaimed timber mantle adds rustic charm and ties in with the woodwork above. The wood details complement the drywall finishes, creating a contemporary look.
• Kitchen: A gourmet kitchen with a custom timber structure adds functionality and style, defining this space within the open floor layout. The structure supports the pendant lighting and creates a cozy atmosphere. This luxury kitchen features rustic hickory cabinetry with a dark finish and a massive island with a leathered granite top. Professional-grade appliances, a pot filler, and a farmhouse sink make this space a chef's dream kitchen. One of the standout features of this kitchen is the custom metal stools that are built into the island. They swivel out and tuck away when not in use.
