Farm House Plans...
Pastoral Perspectives!
The farm house plans featured here are designed for today's lifestyles, but retain the charm and character of yesteryear. Clapboard siding and covered porches lend authenticity to the designs. Interior spaces feature open floor plans and soaring ceilings to meet the demands of 21st century living.
The design below evokes the spirit of historic farmhouses dotting America's Mid-Atlantic region. Located near Charlottesville, Virginia, "Claymore" blends traditional symmetry with modern simplicity. Architect David Neumann, of Neumann Lewis Buchanan Architects, infused the design with a timeless quality that is destined to perpetuate the area's rich architectural legacy.
"Claymoor" Facade Perspective
Claymore consists of a central block with extended wings -- all of which are clad with white clapboard siding beneath a red metal roof. Paired windows flank the front entry, sheltered by a welcoming porch.
Claymore's symmetrical exterior design extends to its 2,500 square foot interior. At front and center is a large living/dining room with two fireplaces and a soaring cathedral ceiling.
At the back of the room, three sets of French doors lead to a bluestone terrace flanked by screened porches. A guest room and master bedroom suite occupy opposite ends of this striking single level residence.

Clad with sustainable fiber-cement siding that replicates board and batten, the picturesque 1-1/2 story hobby farm getaway features a combination of double-hung, casement and awning windows. Shed dormers pierce the roof on either side of the gable to maximize upper level living space.
The spatially efficient farm house plan features 1,973 square feet of living area on two floors. Level 1 boasts a "working farm" kitchen with plenty of room for canning, cooking and baking. An entry hall, family room, den, 3/4 bath and large screen porch round out the main floor.
Upstairs, an open loft area leads to two bedrooms and a commodious bath with dual sinks and separate tub and shower.

The Bennington Carriage House
Inspired by 19th century outbuildings and coach houses, the "Bennington" is a picturesque two story cross gable design from Yankee Barn Homes. Large mullioned windows in each gable end illuminate the second floor living quarters with abundant natural light. A charming cupola crowns the roof.
The first floor is designed primarily for storage and parking and can accommodate up to three vehicles. A utility room, laundry room and 3/4 bath also occupy this level.
High ceilings, expanses of glass, and an open floor plan belie the Bennington's modest 1,142 square feet of living area. Douglas fir timbers provide spatial delineation as well as structural support.
