Banner Elk II
Banner Elk II is a lake house plan with wraparound porch, offering 2,261 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, and 4 1/2 baths. A strong fit for screened porch, loft, and game room.
3-Story + 2-Car GarageHow I designed this plan.
Banner Elk II is a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath mountain home that spreads 2,261 square feet across three stories with a 2-car garage, a wraparound porch, and a loft that opens to the floor below. I designed this plan for sloping mountain and lake lots where you want open living up top and a full game room level below with walkout access.
The main floor holds 1,419 square feet with a vaulted great room that sets the tone for the entire home. The first-floor master keeps your primary suite on the main level, and the open living layout flows naturally through the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Nine-foot ceilings maintain comfortable proportions throughout. Upstairs, 842 square feet adds a bedroom and a loft open to the living space below, creating a visual connection between floors.
The lower level holds 1,229 square feet with a game room and additional bedrooms on the walkout level. A wraparound porch and screened porch give you covered outdoor living that wraps the home and defines its mountain cottage character. At 75 feet 8 inches wide by 80 feet deep, this plan has a generous footprint that works beautifully on sloping, mountain, and lake lots. The 2-car garage tucks into the design naturally.
This is a mountain home built for families who want every level to live well. The Banner Elk II plan is available for $1,495. Also explore Banner Elk, Banner Elk II, Chimney Top, and Asheville Mountain.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Banner Elk II 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 Banner Elk II 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 Banner Elk II 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.

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 Banner Elk II 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 Banner Elk II 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.
