Featured Style: Mountain and Mountain Rustic House Plans

Whether you’re searching for the perfect house plan to utilize as a vacation property or for a primary residence, the unique style of Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans sets them apart as one of our most popular styles of homes. As you picture your ideal residence, do you imagine a house incorporating many natural materials, including wood planks, stone, and other organic features? As you browse our collection of over 1,700+ Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans, you will notice an abundance of charming features reminiscent of a cabin in the woods:

 

Characteristics of Mountain and Mountain Rustic House Plans:

 

  • Using natural materials: Most Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans incorporate large windows and natural materials that blend with the surrounding landscapes. These house plans often use many varieties of wood, stone, bricks, and reclaimed materials.

 

  • Ability to be built on varying slopes: Many of our Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans can be modified based on the various slopes that inevitably occur in mountainous regions of the country. These rustic house styles are designed to fit the most difficult of locations! 

  • Traditional cabin design. The look and feel of many of our Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans draw upon traditional architectural design principles. Because these house plans use natural materials, they have a traditional, vintage feel that creates a comfortable cabin environment.

 

  • Large porches and fireplaces. Many of these house plans contain large, wrap-around porches and two-story back decks to maximize the mountain views. These plans may include one or more fireplaces throughout the house for those chilly nights in the mountains.

     

  • Modern, open floor plans. Though many older cabins have a lot of small rooms and limited larger spaces, most of our Mountain and Mountain Rustic house plans provide floor plans with open kitchens, large great rooms, and tons of windows providing expansive views. These types of layouts provide opportunities for entertaining and spending time with family and friends. 

 

  • Eye-catching curb appeal. The natural elements used to build these house plans create warm and inviting exteriors that draw everyone’s attention. These natural house plans use historical touches and clean lines to welcome you with unique, comfortable curb appeal.
