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…
  • Building on a narrow lot under 40 feet wide (30 ft width, 38 ft depth)
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs to navigate (one-story ranch)
  • Need a compact footprint to keep build costs down (1,140 sq ft)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor
  • Prefer an open floor plan that maximizes natural light in a small space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms for a growing family — this plan has 2
  • Want multiple bathrooms — this design includes only 1
  • Require a garage or covered vehicle storage (no garage included)
  • Need a large entertaining space — the footprint is intentionally compact at 1,140 sq ft

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Buffalo Farms house plan is a compact, single-story residence providing 1,140 sq ft of heated living space. Designed with a 30 ft width and 38 ft depth, this footprint is optimized for smaller building sites. The exterior is defined by a 96 sq ft covered front porch that anchors the front elevation, complemented by a 6:12 roof pitch that maintains a traditional aesthetic while ensuring efficient water shed.

The interior layout centers on an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room into one primary axis. This arrangement maximizes the visual reach of the home, allowing for consistent natural light penetration. The kitchen is equipped with a dedicated wall pantry to maintain organized storage, while the adjacent breakfast area provides a functional transition between the food preparation zone and the common living space.

This design utilizes a single-level configuration to provide accessibility throughout the 1,140 sq ft floor plan. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, and a second bedroom is positioned to serve as a guest room or home office. A designated first-floor laundry area is situated to streamline household maintenance, removing the need for multi-level travel for daily chores.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x6 wall framing and a 9-foot ceiling height throughout the living areas, which enhances the perceived volume of the interior. The home is designed for versatility in site preparation, accommodating either a slab or crawlspace foundation. With a maximum building height of 17 ft 3 in, the structure presents a balanced and proportional profile suitable for various rural or suburban contexts.

Key Features: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,140 sq ft living area, open-concept floor plan, covered front porch, 9-foot ceilings, walk-in closet, wall pantry, first-floor laundry, 2x6 wall framing, slab or crawlspace foundation.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
