How I designed this plan.

Asheville Cottage is a 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath mountain home that delivers 2,401 square feet across three stories with a 2-car garage and an optional walkout basement that expands the home even further. I designed this plan for the buyer who needs serious bedroom count without an oversized main floor footprint. The main level holds 1,570 square feet with a vaulted living room that anchors the open layout.

Nine-foot ceilings keep the standard rooms feeling proportioned while the vaulted spaces soar. A mud room catches the mess at the entry, and the layout flows naturally through living, dining, and kitchen. Upstairs, 831 square feet adds bedrooms and a loft open to the floor below, connecting both levels visually.

The optional lower level at 1,570 square feet holds a bunk room, additional storage, and the 2-car garage, making the most of sloped mountain and lake lots. A patio and covered porch give you outdoor space on both levels. At 86 feet 6 inches wide by 72 feet 8 inches deep, this is a generously sized plan that fits lake, mountain, and sloped lots.

Five bedrooms and five and a half baths make this plan ideal for large families, vacation rentals, or homes that host often. It is a mountain cottage with the capacity of a lodge. The Asheville Cottage plan is available for $1,495. For similar large mountain homes, see Baker Lake Cottage, Camp Stone, Banning Mills Lodge, and Asheville Mountain.

Common Questions

Before you buy.

What is included in the Asheville Cottage 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 Asheville 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 Asheville 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 Asheville Cottage house plan?+

The Asheville Cottage 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 Asheville Cottage 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 Asheville 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.
