Contemporary Mountain House Plan with Walkout Basement & Courtyard Garage | 3,037 Sq Ft Home

The Pelton Creek 3560 is a contemporary mountain house plan engineered for expansive sites, requiring a lot width of at least 91 feet and a depth of 108 feet. This design prioritizes horizontal scale, featuring a 23-foot maximum building height and a complex roofline utilizing 3:12 and 6:12 pitches. With 3,037 square feet of heated living space on the main floor and a 2,503-square-foot walkout basement, the structure provides a total footprint of 8,736 square feet including garage and unfinished areas.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept core, where 10-foot ceilings enhance the sense of volume throughout the main living areas. The great room serves as the primary gathering space, anchored by a fireplace and supported by an adjacent keeping room. A central kitchen island functions as the focal point, equipped with an eating bar and a walk-in pantry. A dedicated home office and a formal dining area offer defined zones for professional and social activities, maintaining a clear separation from the active living quarters.

The primary suite occupies a private wing on the main floor, featuring an integrated layout with direct laundry room access through the walk-in closet. The split-bedroom configuration places two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, serviced by a shared full bathroom. A powder room is positioned for guest use, while the 1,361-square-foot, 3-bay courtyard garage provides significant utility and storage, keeping the front elevation clean and focused on residential aesthetics.

Structural integrity is maintained through 2x6 wall framing, supporting the expansive 1,311 square feet of combined covered porch space. The walkout basement offers 2,503 square feet of finished space with 10-foot ceilings, plus an additional 524 square feet of unfinished area for mechanical systems or storage. This lower level ensures a consistent, high-volume environment that integrates with outdoor grade levels for natural light penetration.
