Town lots and foothill acreage
In town, lots are smaller and may have rules. To the north, parcels are larger, steeper and more wooded. Share your site so we can suggest a package that fits the ground.

Cedar log home kits and SIP home packages in Travelers Rest, SC
Travelers Rest sits at the base of the Blue Ridge in northern Greenville County, where the Swamp Rabbit Trail runs through town and the foothills climb toward Paris Mountain and Caesars Head. Lots range from small town parcels to steep wooded acreage.
Close to the North Carolina line
Travelers Rest is a short drive from Brevard and Hendersonville, so our team and the Western NC guides are close at hand. We can talk through plans and delivery routes with you.
How a project comes together
Big Twig Homes supplies the material package and coordinates delivery. We are not a general contractor: your independent local builder handles construction, permits and site work, and we work alongside the builder you choose.
Building site considerations in Travelers Rest
General points to check before you choose a package. Your builder and the local building office confirm the rules and conditions for your actual lot.
- 01
Foothills just below the Blue Ridge
North of town the land climbs toward Paris Mountain and the Blue Ridge escarpment. Lots get steeper, rock shows up, and clearing and grading need more planning. A walkout lower level often fits better than a large flat pad.
- 02
Mountain roads toward Caesars Head
US-276 and the roads off it climb the escarpment with steep grades and tight curves. Long delivery trucks may not make some turns. Walk the route in with your builder and send it to us before a delivery date is set.
- 03
Creeks and runoff
Creeks and the Reedy River headwaters run through this area, and heavy rain can send water down a slope fast. Check flood maps, stream buffers and drainage on any parcel near water, and plan erosion control before work begins.
- 04
Town growth and neighborhood rules
Newer subdivisions around town often come with owners association rules on materials and rooflines. Larger parcels outside town may have none. Ask which applies to your lot and send us any covenants early.
Home packages for Travelers Rest sites
Big Twig Homes supplies each of these as a material package. An independent builder you choose does the construction.
- Cedar Log HomesCedar log packages suit wooded foothill lots, with a covered porch and wide eaves to shed mountain rain.
- SIP HomesSIP packages arrive as panels ready to assemble, which helps on a steep lot with little room to store materials.
- Hybrid HomesHybrid homes put cedar log or timber where you see it and conventional framing elsewhere, a fit for newer neighborhoods with exterior rules.
- Commercial BuildingsCommercial packages for a shop, studio or small office. Check town zoning and design review for any lot near the center of town.
- Horse BarnsHorse barn packages for acreage in the foothills, where level ground is limited and drainage needs early planning.
- Multi-FamilyMulti-family packages for duplexes and small multi-unit buildings. Confirm zoning and density rules before choosing a design.

Common questions
- Do you deliver material packages to Travelers Rest?
- Yes. South Carolina is part of our service area, and Travelers Rest is a short trip from our Hendersonville, North Carolina base. Share your lot location and the road you would use, and we will talk through delivery with you and your builder.
- Do I need my own builder in Travelers Rest?
- Yes. Big Twig Homes is a materials supplier and coordinator, not a builder. You hire an independent local builder for construction, permits and site work, and we work alongside them.
- Can I plan a mountain-style home on a foothill lot?
- Yes. Cedar log and hybrid packages suit wooded foothill sites, and a walkout layout often fits a slope. Your builder and a design professional confirm the foundation and grading for your lot.
