Builder's Insight · Max Fulbright Sr.

How I designed this plan.

I designed the Oconee River House as a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a separate bonus room 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 two bedrooms, a separate 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.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Oconee River House 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 Oconee River House 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 Oconee River House 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 Oconee River House plan?+

The Oconee River House 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 Oconee River House 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 Oconee River House 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.
