Welcome to Barley Hill Log Homes
With house prices soaring and building costs spiralling, getting on the property ladder has never been tougher. Across Ireland, young people are struggling to afford their first home, and older generations are finding it just as difficult to downsize or create a space for ageing parents.
If you have the land, we have the solution. Whether you're a parent trying to help your child find a place of their own, someone planning to downsize, or looking to build a safe and comfortable home for a loved one — Barley Hill Log Homes offers you the chance to have your own affordable self build home.
For over 20 years, we’ve been handcrafting beautiful log homes using slow-grown Scandinavian Nordic Pine, designed to last and tailored to your lifestyle. From a simple shell you can finish yourself, to a fully turnkey home with solar panels, eco-friendly pellet stove, and a lifetime cork-based weatherproof seal, we give you the freedom to create the home you need.

Slow-Grown Nordic Pine
Our homes are built from premium Scandinavian pine which is strong, sustainable, and made to withstand the Irish climate.

Low Maintenance, Built to Last
Each home is sealed with a cork-based weatherproof coating that lasts a lifetime and requires minimal upkeep.
