One-level living, thoughtful design, and an open floor plan make this home a dream for families. A front courtyard invites you to unwind and enjoy your neighborhood, and the front porch welcomes you in.
The main level of this home features three bedrooms – perfect for family, hosting guests, or to turn into office or hobby spaces as you choose. The primary suite is tucked away to the rear of the home for privacy and includes a generously sized closet and a luxurious walk-in shower. Access to the rear covered deck beckons you to sip your morning coffee outside, or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening as the stars come out.
The ample great room features raised coffered ceilings and a corner fireplace, lending this home an effortless elegance. The kitchen is open to the living and dining areas and includes an oversized island as a centerpiece of the home. The dining room looks out to views to the rear and right of your site, and the covered deck lets you take your meals outside and entertain with ease and flexibility.
A powder room sits right off the entry for guests, while the primary suite and second bedroom enjoy en suite baths. A mudroom with cubbies and full laundry greets you from the garage, giving you a prep area and drop zone at the beginning and end of your day. The oversized garage includes space for two cars plus a golf cart or workshop area.
This house plan includes an optional lower level, which expands the home to include a large rec room, a game room, a bar, a full bathroom, and three additional bedrooms with walk-in closets.
Questions About Vail Pass:
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.
