The River’s Reach is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain home that delivers 2,618 square feet across two stories with a 2-car garage and porches on three levels. I designed this plan for sloping lots where you want a vaulted family room, a stone fireplace on the porch, and a loft that opens to the floor below.

The main floor holds 1,760 square feet with a vaulted family room and stone fireplace that anchor the open living layout. Nine-foot ceilings in the standard rooms keep the proportions comfortable. The flow from kitchen through dining into the living area is natural and easy. Upstairs, 858 square feet adds bedrooms and a loft open to the living space below, creating the kind of visual connection between floors that makes a mountain home feel like a lodge. The lower level at 1,740 square feet holds a recreation room, bunk room, and additional living with full walkout access.

A front porch, upper porch, and lower porch give you outdoor living on three levels, and an outdoor fireplace on the porch means you can enjoy evenings outside well into fall. At 60 feet wide by 64 feet 6 inches deep on a sloping lot, this plan takes full advantage of terrain changes. The 2-car garage handles the essentials, and the open living layout makes the main floor the natural gathering place for family and guests.

The River’s Reach plan is available for $1,495. Similar mountain homes include Stonegate, Wolf Creek, Adirondack House Plan, and Timber Ridge.

Builder Insight

I designed the River's Reach for the kind of site most house plans treat as a problem — a lot with real grade change. The walkout lower level, deep covered porches, and vertical massing are all intentional. Slope is an asset in the right design. This plan uses it.
