About This Plan

This 25'x22' modern cottage floor plan delivers 550 sq ft of clean, open single-floor living in a compact and efficient layout. The interior centers on an open living area and kitchen with an island, with a master bedroom, full bathroom with walk-in closet, and a combined laundry room tucked along the back wall. A full-width 25'x6' front porch stretches across the entire facade, adding covered outdoor living space and giving the cottage its welcoming, cabin-like character. Large sliding windows and a gable roof with clearstory bring natural light deep into the interior.

Built on drilled concrete piers with 2x6 wood framing, corrugated metal roofing, and cedar tongue and groove ceiling details, this cottage is built for longevity and low maintenance across a wide range of climates and site conditions. The pier foundation makes it well-suited to uneven or sloped terrain, wooded lots, and off-grid or remote properties. The single-story layout keeps construction straightforward and accessible for owner-builders working with a modest budget.

Whether you are planning a vacation retreat, a starter home, an Airbnb rental cabin, or an accessory dwelling unit, this complete 22-sheet drawing set gives you everything needed to begin construction. Sheets cover the floor plan, slab layout, ceiling and roof outline, all four elevations, two sections, electrical and plumbing plans, kitchen and bath details, window and door schedules, framing details, insulation details, and a full material list. Available as an instant PDF and CAD download. Please note that Home Plan DIY does not provide engineer-stamped plans. Buyers are responsible for verifying local engineering and code compliance. Some jurisdictions require a licensed architect or engineer to review and seal plans before construction.
