The Alder
Custom Home Kit
Designed for those who love the look of mountain lodge-style homes, the Alder strikes the perfect balance between rustic and contemporary influences. This three-bedroom, four-bathroom home features multiple hobby rooms, a two-car garage, and a beautiful back porch — all of which are customizable to your style, taste, and needs. This unique residential design offers 3,677 square feet of conditioned living space plus over 1,000 square feet of deck and garage space. With the help of our talented designers, you can transform the Alder into a modern family home, a vacation rental, or even a one-of-a-kind commercial workspace modified to your business.
This pre-engineered building model is stick-framed with Douglas fir rafters sourced from the Pacific Northwest. Pre-manufactured roof trusses in the garage create an expansive space that gives you total freedom with your layout and design, allowing you to configure your garage area however you see fit. The Alder comes standard with dozens of premium building materials, including cedar board and batten siding, CDX roof sheathing, custom concealed knife plates, and FOHC Douglas fir columns, rafters, and beams. With this custom home kit, you can easily bring your vision for a rustic mountain home to life.
