Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Planning to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living spaces all on the main floor
  • Want versatile guest accommodations without commitment — optional upper-level guest suite and loft
  • Love covered outdoor living and entertaining — covered front and back porches plus deck
  • Need a home office space — dedicated home office/study included
  • Working with a moderate lot — footprint of approximately 90–99 ft wide by 70–79 ft deep
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a compact footprint on a tight budget — 2,707 sq ft is a substantial build
  • Prefer no basement maintenance — this plan includes a basement foundation
  • Want a simple, single-use layout — multiple formal and casual gathering zones may feel complex
  • Looking for minimal exterior upkeep — covered porches and decks require regular maintenance

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Modern Farmhouse with First-Floor Master Suite

The Chestatee River Cottage is a striking 2,707 sq ft modern farmhouse that beautifully combines traditional country aesthetics with a highly functional one-story design. This three-bedroom residence centers on an expansive social core featuring a vaulted great room warmed by a central fireplace, flowing naturally into a gourmet kitchen with an angled casual dining area and kitchen island.

The first-floor master suite serves as a sanctuary with high-end finishes and direct access to the first-floor laundry room. Two full baths and a half bath, along with a walk-in pantry and mud room, ensure daily convenience. Outdoor living is prioritized with covered front and back porches, while an optional upper-level guest suite and loft add versatility to the design. The two-car front-load garage and basement foundation complete this well-rounded family home.
