30' x 42' Modern A-Frame Cabin Architectural Plans
The 30' x 42' Modern A-Frame is the largest A-frame in our catalog — 1,650 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loft that rises nearly 29 feet to the peak. This is a serious full-time residence or high-capacity vacation rental disguised in an A-frame silhouette, and it delivers on both fronts.
The generous footprint allows for a layout that genuinely functions as a family home: two bathrooms, three separated sleeping areas, a full kitchen, and a loft that adds flexible overflow space. The 29-foot peak creates a dramatic main living space unlike anything a conventional home can offer. The concrete pier foundation adapts to challenging terrain without heavy site work.

Who This Plan Is For
Built for buyers who want the A-frame look without sacrificing space. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make this viable as a permanent mountain or lakefront residence. For short-term rental investors, the dramatic interior and loft sleeping configuration drives strong guest reviews and premium nightly rates. The 95 PSF roof load rating handles heavy snowfall across mountain and northern regions.
