Builder's Insight · Max Fulbright Sr.

How I designed this plan.

The Fairy Tale Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain home that packs 1,932 square feet across three stories with a spiral staircase tower room that gives this plan a character all its own. I designed this for the buyer who wants something truly unique, a home that feels like it grew out of the mountainside with a story to tell in every room.

The main floor holds 1,272 square feet with a vaulted family room and an open living floor plan that keeps kitchen, dining, and living connected. Nine-foot ceilings maintain the proportions while the vaulted spaces add drama. A tower room at 85 square feet accessed by spiral staircase gives you a reading nook, office, or lookout that is unlike anything in any other plan. Upstairs, 571 square feet holds a loft and bedroom.

The lower level adds 1,236 square feet with a bunk room, theater room, recreation room, and flex room for serious entertaining. A front stoop, covered porch, screened porch, and grill deck give you outdoor living on multiple levels. At 48 feet wide by 46 feet 8 inches deep with no garage on a small lot, this cottage keeps the footprint tight while stacking living space vertically. The three-story design makes the most of sloping terrain.

This is not a cookie-cutter plan. It is a home with personality that people will remember. The Fairy Tale Cottage plan is available for $1,495. For more unique mountain designs, explore Acadia Mountain Cottage, Foothill’s Cottage, Mountain Moss Cabin, and Watersound Cottage.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Fairy Tale Cottage plan set?+

Each plan set includes dimensioned floor plans for all levels, front, side, and rear elevations at 1/4" scale with notes and dimensions, a foundation plan for the version supplied, and roof plan. Additional foundation options are available separately and are not included in the plan price. Please inquire before ordering to confirm whether we have the version you need. Available as a PDF plan set ($1,495) or editable CAD files ($1,950). Electrical plans are not included because they are customer-specific and finalized on site with your builder and electrician after framing.

Can the Fairy Tale Cottage plan be modified?+

Yes. Modifications are one of the most common services we provide. Our in-house design team handles all modifications directly. Common changes include adjusting bedroom count, resizing rooms, changing exterior materials, or adapting for a specific lot. Typical turnaround is 2 to 4 weeks. Contact Max Fulbright Designs at (770) 301-4214 or [email protected] for a free consultation and quote.

Does the Fairy Tale Cottage plan require a structural engineer's stamp?+

Stock plans do not include a professional engineer's stamp. Many US jurisdictions require a licensed engineer in your state to review and stamp the plans before permit submission. Check with your local building department before purchasing. This is a standard industry practice and is not unique to Max Fulbright Designs.

Who designed the Fairy Tale Cottage plan?+

The Fairy Tale Cottage plan was drawn personally by Max Fulbright Sr., the founder of Max Fulbright Designs. Max is a Georgia Institute of Technology-trained engineer who has designed and personally built more than 500 custom homes since founding the firm in 1990. Every plan in the Max Fulbright Designs catalog is drawn by Max himself.

Can I build the Fairy Tale Cottage plan in any US state?+

Yes. Max Fulbright Designs has delivered more than 12,000 plans to homeowners and builders in all 50 US states and Canada. The Fairy Tale Cottage plan is drawn to general residential construction standards that work in most US jurisdictions, though local building codes vary and should be reviewed with your builder before construction.
