This rustic lodge gives you space to spread out, relax, and entertain with ease and is a great fit for a wide hillside site with acreage. Enjoy the afternoon sunshine and welcome guests via the covered front porch, then step through the foyer, where you’ll be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings accented with timber beams and expansive windows to the rear site views.
The stunning great room is the perfect setting for cozy nights in by the grand fireplace or winter parties watching the snow gently fall outside. In warmer seasons, a spacious deck beckons you to enjoy the outdoors and easily doubles your entertaining space.
The open floor plan and gourmet kitchen is a dream for the home chef, allowing you to host with ease. With a statement island, two sinks, plenty of counter space, and room for high-end appliances, cooking alone or together with friends and family is a joy, and this home features a working pantry with an additional refrigerator and stash space to keep your home tidy for parties.
The formal dining space boasts a coffered ceiling for added elegance, while the kitchen island is large enough for casual meals or tasting parties.
When you’re ready to unwind, the main level primary suite occupies an entire wing of the home, and includes space for a private sitting area, a luxe closet, and a spa-like bathroom with a tub and walk-in shower. A separate powder room for guests, a mudroom with built-ins, a laundry room, and a two-car garage round out the main level of this home, which comes in at 2001 square feet.
Three bedrooms on the lower level are ideal for family, guests, or as flex rooms to use for working from home, hobbies, or exercise. Each bedroom includes its own walk-in closet and easy access to one of the two full bathrooms on this level. The rec room with patio access is perfect for game nights and casual entertaining. This home features several storage rooms on the lower level, including a tucked away root cellar / safe room.
Questions About Boreas 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.
