HOUSE PLANS

These areas are perfect for hiking, fishing, hunting and simply enjoying whatever “Mother Nature” has to offer. That ability to lay your head down on your pillow at night and effortlessly fall asleep with no need of white noise or your phone set to the “sounds of nature” to lull you to sleep, that’s peace.

A variation of this may be Mountain Ranch plans with a lower level terrace for casual and creative living that can include large centrally located recreation rooms, game rooms, an exercise room, a home office and perhaps, additional bedrooms and baths.

A walkout basement is ideal for multi-generational living as it provides separate and private entrances for different family members, if an in-law or teen-age suite is desired. This private space also allows for the use of plenty of outdoor space that may mirror the main floor’s outdoor living space; either way, it’s a great alternative for extended families as well as difficult and/or sloping lots. For ease of movement and comfort, these designs can incorporate a residential elevator into the floor plan easily.
