How I designed this plan.

Lake Burton Lodge is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath lake home that delivers 3,308 square feet across two stories with a 2-car garage and the kind of detail that makes a house feel like it was designed specifically for you. I drew this plan for the buyer who wants a first-floor master, a study, a keeping room, and a loft, and does not want to choose between them.

The main floor holds 2,179 square feet with a coffered ceiling family room that gives the living space architectural weight and a cathedral ceiling master bedroom that opens up to the roofline. The keeping room provides casual, everyday living space separate from the more formal areas, and the study gives you a door to close when you need to focus.

Upstairs, 1,129 square feet holds three more bedrooms and a study loft with nine-foot ceilings throughout. Every room has purpose and position in this layout. A front porch and rear deck give you outdoor space on both sides. At 60 feet wide by 68 feet 10 inches deep on a sloping lake lot, this plan is designed to take advantage of grade changes and water views.

The brick and rustic exterior ages beautifully and the 2-car garage handles the daily essentials. This is a lakefront home built for a lifetime of family gatherings. The Lake Burton Lodge plan is available for $1,495. Explore similar large lake plans like Hunter’s Bend, Baker Lake Cottage, The Big Oaks, and Camp Stone.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Lake Burton Lodge 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, foundation plan (basement standard; slab and crawlspace available for an additional fee), and roof plan. 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 Lake Burton Lodge 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 Lake Burton Lodge 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 Lake Burton Lodge house plan?+

The Lake Burton Lodge 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 Lake Burton Lodge 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 Lake Burton Lodge 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.
