How I designed this plan.
The Appalachian Mountain III is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain home that delivers 1,989 square feet of vaulted, open living on the main level with an optional walkout basement that doubles your space. I designed this as the widest version of the Appalachia series with a 2-car garage and a breezeway, perfect for the family that wants mountain living with room for every vehicle and all the gear.
The main floor is built around vaulted spaces. The family room, master suite, screened porch, and a secondary bedroom all vault to the roofline, creating the kind of airy, connected living that flat ceilings simply cannot match. Nine-foot ceilings in the standard rooms keep everything feeling proportioned. A bunk room and flex room add versatility for guests, kids, or a home office.
The optional lower level adds 1,989 square feet with a recreation room and covered terrace for full walkout living. Outside, a front porch, open deck, screened porch, breezeway, and covered porch give you outdoor options in every direction. At 87 feet 2 inches wide by 56 feet 10 inches deep, this plan is the wide-lot version of the series, giving you room to stretch the garage and breezeway across the hillside.
The sloping mountain or lake lot design puts the lower level in full daylight with natural walkout access. The Appalachian Mountain III plan is available for $1,495. Also see Appalachia Mountain II, Appalachia Mountain, Asheville Mountain, and Boulder Mountain Cabin.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Appalachian Mountain III 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, a foundation plan for the version supplied, and roof plan. Additional foundation options are available separately and are not included in the plan price. Please inquire before ordering to confirm whether we have the version you need. 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 Appalachian Mountain III 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 Appalachian Mountain III 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 Appalachian Mountain III plan?+
The Appalachian Mountain III 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 Appalachian Mountain III 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 Appalachian Mountain III 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.
