Real Log Homes Authorized Independent Representative
Ben Gooch was born into a Real Log Homes family, after his grandparents founded O.R. Gooch & Son. They have built Real Log Homes for well over 50 years now. Not only does Ben build beautiful custom log homes, but he lives in a Royalton model built in 1972.
History of O.R. Gooch & Son and Real Log Homes
Oscar Randall and Irene Gooch farmed and owned a general store in Nottingham, NH. They also ran a contracting business, which was founded in 1953. A decade later, Oscar saw an ad for Vermont Log Buildings (as Real Log Homes was known then) in a DIY log home magazine. Intrigued by the ad, he inspected our plant and decided to purchase a Royalton model home. He built the home with his son, Benjamin Lang Gooch, already nurturing the multigenerational bond.
While this home, constructed across the street from their general store, was meant to be a personal home, it attracted a great deal of attention from the local community. Due to the positive experiences they had building their first log home, as well as the interest from others in their log home, O.R. Gooch decided to become a Real Log Home Independent Representative that same year.
Naturally, Ben lives in a Real Log Home, a Royalton model home built in 1972. O.R. Gooch & Son also has a custom designed model home in Epping, NH. Looking back, Ben most fondly remembers working with his grandfather and father and thoroughly enjoyed building homes with them up and down the East Coast.
