30' x 50' Lean Cottage Architectural Plans

30' x 50' Lean Cottage Architectural Plans

The 30' x 50' Lean Cottage is the largest plan in our Lean Cottage series — 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loft, all under the signature contemporary shed roofline. This is a plan built for serious use: a permanent family residence, a high-capacity short-term rental, or a multi-generational retreat property where space and comfort matter.

At 50 feet in length, this design has real room to spread out. Bedrooms are well separated from the main living area, the two-bathroom layout eliminates sharing conflicts, and the loft adds a fourth sleeping or flex space overhead. The concrete piers or slab foundation options accommodate a wide range of site conditions.
