How I designed this plan.
The Watersound Cottage is a 5 to 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath cottage that packs 1,719 square feet across three stories on a sloping lot. I designed this plan for families who need maximum bedrooms in a compact footprint, with a double-sided stone fireplace and open living that makes the main floor the gathering place for everyone. The main level holds 1,234 square feet with a vaulted family room, open living layout, and nine-foot ceilings throughout.
The double-sided stone fireplace warms both the living area and the adjacent space, serving as the heart of the home. Upstairs, 485 square feet adds bedrooms and a more intimate second floor. The unfinished lower level at 1,220 square feet is ready for an office, recreation room, and flex room whenever you are ready to finish it, giving you serious expansion potential on a sloping site.
An entry porch, rear porch, screened porch, and covered patio give you outdoor living on every level. At 46 feet wide by 45 feet deep with a golf cart garage, this cottage fits sloping lots and corner lots without an oversized footprint. Getting five to six bedrooms in under 1,720 finished square feet is a feat most plans cannot match.
It is the kind of efficiency that makes this plan a natural choice for vacation rentals and large families alike. The Watersound Cottage plan is available for $1,495. Similar multi-bedroom cottage plans include Foothill’s Cottage, Acadia Mountain Cottage, Autumn Place, and Stone Ridge Cottage.

Before you buy.
What is included in the Watersound Cottage 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 Watersound Cottage 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 Watersound Cottage 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 Watersound Cottage plan?+
The Watersound Cottage 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 Watersound Cottage 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 Watersound Cottage 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.
