I designed the Oconee River House as a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home that delivers 2,409 square feet of rustic cottage character across two stories with a 2-car garage. This plan is for the family that wants a first-floor master, open living with beamed ceilings, and room upstairs for kids or guests to have their own space.
The main floor holds 1,740 square feet anchored by a beamed family room with a stone fireplace that gives the living space serious character. A study off the entry provides a quiet workspace, and the open layout connects kitchen, dining, and living seamlessly. Nine-foot ceilings throughout keep every room feeling right. Upstairs, 669 square feet holds additional bedrooms, a bonus room for flexible use, and storage. The first-floor master with its own wing of the house gives you the privacy a master suite should have.
A front porch, covered porch, and grill deck give you outdoor living on three sides. At 57 feet 4 inches wide by 48 feet 4 inches deep, this plan fits river lots and standard lots alike. The 2-car garage handles the daily necessities, and the straightforward two-story construction keeps your build on schedule and on budget. This is a home with the character of a custom build and the practicality of a proven floor plan.
The Oconee River House plan is available for $1,495. Similar plans include Blue Ridge, Timber Ridge, Madison Farmhouse, and Lake Eufala Retreat.

Builder Insight
I designed the Oconee River House the way I approach every plan — starting with how a family actually lives in a home, not with the exterior style. Open flow where it matters, private space where it's needed, and no wasted square footage. That's 25 years of building experience in every dimension.
