When someone asks me for a lake house plan that does not compromise, I point them to Hunter’s Bend. This 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home delivers 4,600 square feet of traditional brick architecture across two stories, and every room has a purpose. If you have a sloping lot and big plans for entertaining, this is your floor plan.
The main level gives you 2,300 square feet with a first-floor master suite under cathedral ceilings, a keeping room for casual family time, and an open layout that connects kitchen to living spaces without feeling cavernous. Downstairs mirrors that footprint with a guest room, rec room, bar area, office, and a shop and storage space that builders like me appreciate. Cathedral ceilings carry through the master and keeping room, giving those spaces the volume they deserve without wasting energy heating unused attic space.
Outside you get a front porch, rear porch, deck, and patio, so there is always a spot to sit no matter where the sun is. The 2-car garage tucks neatly into the 67-foot-10-inch by 61-foot footprint, and the sloping lot design means your lower level gets full daylight and walkout access. This is a home built for decades of lake living.
The Hunter’s Bend plan is available for $1,495. For similar scale and style, explore Baker Lake Cottage, Asheville Mountain, Banning Mills Lodge, and Camp Stone.

Builder Insight
I designed the Hunter's Bend 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.
