Wooded-lot homes
Homes set into the trees, from clean modern to classic lodge.
A wooded lot asks for a home that sits in the trees instead of fighting them. Scott helps you read the lot first, then designs a home that belongs on it, whether you want a clean modern look or classic Northwoods timber and stone.
Clearing is a design decision. Every tree that stays is shade, privacy and character. Every tree that goes is a driveway, a building pad or a view. The plan should decide which is which.
What this covers
- Lot evaluation before design: trees, grade, soil, access and utilities
- Clearing planned around what you want to keep
- Clean modern or classic lodge exteriors, your call
- Driveway and drainage planned so the site works through spring thaw
How it works with Scott
Scott walks the lot with you, marks where the house, driveway and septic can go, and designs from there. Heavy timber and stone details are available when you want them, and a plainer, cleaner look is just as easy.
Talk to ScottQuestions about wooded-lot homes
Can you build on a wooded lot?
Yes. Wooded-lot homes are something Roshak Builders builds, and Scott helps evaluate the lot before design starts.
How much of the lot has to be cleared?
Only as much as the house, driveway, septic system and utilities need, plus room to work. The plan decides it, which is why Scott walks the lot before the design is final.
Is a wooded lot harder to build on than an open lot?
It can be, because trees, roots and grade add site work, but a good plan makes a wooded lot one of the best places to live. The key is knowing the lot before you commit to a design.
