Modern Mountain House Plan 43939 with 1,679 Sq Ft, Wall of Glass, Huge Deck and Walkout Basement
Modern Mountain House Plan 43939 is designed to make a spectacular view part of everyday life. Offering 1,679 square feet on the main level with 2 bedrooms and an unfinished 1,720-square-foot walkout basement, this home is an outstanding choice for a sloping mountain, lake, or wilderness property. Future lower-level finishing can add a third bedroom, bathroom, recreation space, and more while allowing homeowners to build in stages as needs and budget permit.
The exterior blends rustic warmth with clean modern architecture. Wood siding and substantial timber columns establish Mountain character, while a simple sloping roof and glass deck railings introduce a contemporary edge. A vaulted front porch creates an inviting arrival and hints at the dramatic spaces waiting inside.
At the rear, floor-to-ceiling windows transform the great room into a viewing gallery for the surrounding landscape. Orient the home toward mountains, water, woods, or a distant horizon and natural light and scenery become defining elements of the interior. The great room, dining area, and kitchen share an open arrangement so the view remains part of cooking, dining, entertaining, and relaxing.
The kitchen island provides casual seating for breakfast or conversation before meals move outdoors. A spectacular covered deck spans approximately 48 feet across the house and extends 15 feet deep, creating roughly 720 square feet of protected outdoor living. There's generous room for dining, lounge furniture, grilling, and enjoying sunrises or sunsets.
The foyer separates the two main-level bedrooms for privacy. Bedroom 2 includes a walk-in closet and private access to the guest bathroom. The primary bedroom measures approximately 17'3" x 13' and includes a walk-in closet plus an ensuite with dual sinks, tiled walk-in shower, and an additional walk-in closet accessed through a pocket door.
The 1,720-square-foot walkout basement provides exceptional expansion potential. Leave it unfinished initially for economical storage, then finish portions later for a third bedroom, bathroom, and large recreation area. A lower patio can become another outdoor retreat, including space for a hot tub on cool mountain evenings.
With a wall of glass, enormous covered deck, open living, and expandable walkout basement, Plan 43939 is built to take full advantage of a scenic sloping lot.

Previous Q & A
Q:What is the roof classification rating for wind uplift pressure and speed?
A:We do not specify that. You will need to ensure that the framing and construction methods meet all of your local codes and requirements.
Q:What year and what version is the CAD file?
A:We can export to any year .dwg. We usually export back to 2000 .dwg files
Q:We are building our dream home and have chosen this one to be built on a sloped lot. Do you affirm that contractors can easily work with your plans? We will be building a 3 car garage and would need the extra garage plans. Since there isn’t a window in the master bath (because ) of garage I’d want to add a skylight is that possible? Lastly, I want to have a large round window at the headboard of the master bedroom. Possible?
A:Good Morning!
These changes seem pretty straightforward! I'm sure we can make it all work! If we have any other ideas that we think will help compliment your modifications, we will certainly let you know. We look forward to working with you on your plans!
It would be $900 for the changes and we could have them done in 4-5 weeks!

Q:is the total height of the building (basement floor to highest point on shed roof above deck 18' 10") what is the room height on first floor at highest point.
A:The total height from the basement floor to the highest point on the shed roof is ~ 29' with the basement wall height being 9'. Room height on the first floor goes to 14'-11 1/8".
Q:Hello, What is your opinion of the back wall facing west in North Carolina? Good for the sunset views but would the depth of the porch offer any shade considering the roof pitch? Thanks, Stephanie
A:Good Morning!
Since the rear porch sits so high up in the air, I'm guessing it wouldn't offer much shade as the sun starts to go down.
Q:The roof load is 30 Pounds per foot - Is there a way to increase this to 60? The home is for Vermont and Recommended is min40. but I want a buffer. Thanks,
A:Unfortunately, we do not engineer the framing for the snow or wind load. A local lumber yard will engineer trusses or lumber based on local codes and requirements.
Q:i will need slab foundation due to where i live sw Oklahoma. do you have a picture of how that will change the appearance of the house?
Q:Two questions on the plan. How is roof vented and what windows do you have figured for the openings?
A:Good Afternoon!
The roof would be continuously vented above the insulation and under the roof decking with an air baffle.
We have generic window sizes listed. The final brand can change based on your preference.
Q:Hi. In your front picture with a garage attached it looks like there might be a poured concrete porch at the front edge of the garage as if there is a door into the house there. It's very hard to see in the dark picture. Is there? And if so, where does it enter into?
A:No, that is not a concrete porch. That is just the garage foundation wall poking through. Refer to the floor plan for the door locations
Q:How tall are the windows/ sliding door leading out to deck
A:The patio door is 8' tall
Q:Hello, do y’all have any illustrations of this plan with a fireplace in the great room on the main floor or in the walkout basement? Do y’all have any recommendations as to where fireplaces could be placed on both levels? Also I’m open to the idea of a multilevel fireplace that serves 2 fire boxes. Thanks!
A:The fireplace could go in a couple different locations. It could either go against the master walk in closet or on the back wall of the great room bump out. If it went on the back wall, it could go all the way down to the basement. We would have to modify the sliding glass door in the great room if it went there.
Let me know what you think.
-Jake
Q:What is the slope of the great room celing?
A:It is a 2/12 pitch. It sloped with the roof because we show it being stick framed
Q:what are the sizes of the windows?
A:What exactly are you looking for? The window sizes vary throughout the house.
Q:Previously, you answer a question stating that "2X12 rafters are being used." now the client is asking: "What span ? I am planning on doing the framing and the span is 38 ft."
A:The rafters will bear on the kitchen wall. The span is 18'-6" from the kitchen wall to the back wall of the great room.
Q:Is there a steel beam down the center of the roof? I don't see any posts that would serve to support the roof trusses.
A:2X12 rafters are being used
Q:For the basement, does it show concrete walls all the way around it? Will the plans show the dimensions of the walls?
A:Good Morning!
The full basement option will show concrete walls all the way around. Yes, the walls will be fully dimensioned.
-Jake
Q:Hi, my question: I love the set up of this home. However, I live in the middle of Michigan when everything is flat could this concept still be kept on such to terrain? I read on the question section that the walkout porch in the basement area would be taken out. is it a possibility to keep this floor plan as it is on flat terrain ;all out basement area)
A:Good Morning!
You can purchase this plan with a full in ground basement or even on a slab with no basement. We can show either option!
Q:What year and building code does this plan meet?
A:We design to the 2018 International Residential Code
Q:What is the maximum height of the most extreme height? Can the master be moved to the rear what then would be the living room size? What is the ceiling height at the front door?
A:The ceiling height at the front door would be 9'.
The maximum ceiling height in the living room is 14'-11".
The master can be moved to the rear of the home through the modification process. By maintaining the same size master and moving it, the new living room would be 7'-3' less wide.
If wanted, these changes can all be talked through when considering a modification and you can make this exactly how you want it.
Thank you!
Jackson
Q:If I choose the crawlspace foundation, how will the floor plan change?
A:For this plan, there are a few things that would change when moving over to a crawl space. Obviously, the basement would be no longer. The mechanicals would be moved to the first floor into a closet where the current basement stairs are. The rear/side decks would turn into concrete porches and there wouldn't be a railing anymore.
I hope these changes are clear. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Q:Can this be put on a flat lot?
A:Yes. The basement could be entirely in the ground and no walkout or you can have just a first floor only and use a crawl space or a concrete slab for the foundation.
