Hi, I like the idea of "downsizing" and I too, as a designer and builder of log homes for the past 13 years, have been designing and building a series of cabins within the 1500 sq. ft. and smaller range with starting prices of under $240,000, on your lot, turnkey. Finely crafted from white pine and timber and integrated with nature's materials, such as stone, slate, granite, heavy timber, and such, to bring as much of the outdoors inside and incorporate creature comforts and modern amenities. The finished products have been nothing short of amazing in the combination of charm and coziness. Recently I have been incorporating more energy efficient heating and water systems for better economy and ease/cleaner operation. The popularity of these types of homes is groing rapidly and, I feel, will soon outpace the current mcmansion designs as families are getting smaller, lenders are getting more restrictive and the necessity and affordability of the $500,000 home is dwindling with each passing day as evidenced by the current foreclosure market and subprime defaults.
The era of efficiency is upon us.

If I had the cash for a second home, this is exactly what I'd want. Sigh.
