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.

Builder Insight
I designed the Banner Elk II 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.
