About This Plan:
If you want single-level living without living small, Beech is worth a long look. It's a 2,007 sf modern farmhouse built around a covered rear deck and a primary suite that earns the word retreat, with three additional flexible rooms on the main level that adapt to whatever your household needs. And if your lot allows it, the optional lower level adds 1,631 sf of finished space without changing how the main floor lives.
Step inside through the three-car garage to land in a home organized around the way you want to live, not navigating around it. The great room, kitchen, and dining are open with no walls to interrupt them. The great room invites you to gather under an 11' ceiling that sets the scale for the whole main level and features a fireplace framed by built-in shelving. Sliding doors off the great room open straight out to the covered rear deck, so on a warm day you can entertain and enjoy the best of both indoor and outdoor living.
The primary suite sits at the back of the house, private and tucked away from the secondary rooms. It has its own deck access and a spa bath with a walk-in shower and a soaking tub, plus a walk-in closet sized for two. The laundry room is a few steps away, right where you'd want it.
At the front of the home, two secondary rooms flex to whatever you need now: a guest bedroom and a home office, or a nursery and a hobby room as life shifts. Across the plan, a tucked-away den with its own ensuite bath gives a long-term guest or a live-in parent real privacy from the rest of the house.
The optional lower level is a full second floor of living. Two more bedrooms with their own baths, plus a media room and a rec room with its own fireplace. A second laundry on the lower level means nobody hauls baskets up or down the stairs. Finish it out as an in-law suite, guest quarters, or the entertainment level and you've roughly doubled the home without touching how the upstairs feels.

Questions About Beech:
Will this home work for single-level living?
Which foundation fits my lot, and what if I have a sloped site?
Does this plan work for a multigenerational household or a live-in parent?
What's included in my plan purchase, and what's handled locally?
Every Rocky Mountain Plan Company plan is a complete digital plan set: floor plans, exterior elevations, cross-sections, roof ridge plan, foundation layout, and electrical plan. You choose PDF or CAD at checkout, and a single-use build license is included.
A few things are handled locally by design, because they depend on your lot, climate, and code: the site plan showing where the home sits, site-specific structural engineering, mechanical/plumbing/HVAC drawings, energy calculations, and a professional stamp if your state requires one (states including CA, NY, NJ, IL, and NV often do). Your builder, engineer, and subcontractors add these during the build. It's the normal division of labor in residential construction, not a gap in the plans. See exactly what's in every plan set →
Are these plans stamped by an engineer?
Our plans don't come pre-stamped, and that's standard across the pre-drawn plan industry, not a gap in the design. Most jurisdictions require a licensed local engineer to review the plans for your specific site conditions (snow load, wind zone, seismic zone, soil) and apply their stamp before issuing a building permit. Mountain and hillside lots especially tend to trigger this. If you'd like a referral to a trusted engineering firm, just ask. How engineering and permitting work →
Can I preview the plan before buying?
We offer Bid Sets for $500. A Bid Set includes the floor plans and elevation views, labeled "Not For Construction," and is ideal for getting an initial cost estimate from a builder before committing to the full plan. If you move forward, the $500 applies as credit toward your full plan purchase. Contact us to request a Bid Set →
PDF or CAD: Which do I need?
PDF works for most builds — ready to print and share with contractors and inspectors, suitable when no significant changes are needed. CAD files (.dwg) are fully editable and the preferred format if you're making meaningful modifications, or your designer or engineer wants to work directly in the files. Buying CAD also includes the PDF set. Not sure? Start with PDF, you can always come back and add CAD later. Full comparison: PDF vs. CAD →
Can I modify or mirror this plan?
Yes, and it's completely expected. Most buyers change at least something. Your best first call is a local designer, architect, or engineer who knows your area's codes and site conditions. Modifications range from minor on-site builder adjustments and redline markups to CAD-level layout changes and full redesigns. See how modifications work →
If you simply want to flip the layout to suit your lot or view, choose a right-reading reverse when adding the plan to your cart. This will mirror the plan while keeping every dimension and note readable. For anything more, reach out and we'll point you in the right direction. How right-reading reverse works →
What does the build license allow?
Your purchase includes a Single-Structure License: the right to build this plan once, on one lot. You can print as many copies as your build team needs and share them with your builder, engineer, and municipality for that project.
Planning to build more than once? An Unlimited Building License is available for selection now or any time after. Plain-English license overview →
How soon do I get my plans?
Standard digital delivery is 1–2 business days after your signed license, Monday through Friday. (Weekend orders begin processing Monday.) Add-ons like a right-reading reverse or an alternate foundation add 3–4 business days. Files are delivered by email once your license is signed.
