Imagine a home where wide, angled spaces and high ceilings make every room feel expansive, yet the design remains surprisingly economical. Economical Country Cottage Plan is that home—a 1,679 sq. ft. country cottage that masterfully blends spaciousness with affordability. With its 9-foot-4-inch ceilings, cozy fireplace, and luxurious master suite, this plan proves you don’t need a lavish budget to live comfortably and stylishly.

  • Open sightlines and angled layouts that make the home feel larger than its square footage suggests.
