Expansive Hill Country Estate House Plan | 4 Beds, 4.5 Baths, 4,995 Sq Ft

This expansive contemporary residence delivers a refined balance of scale, comfort, and modern livability, offering 4,995 square feet of heated living space thoughtfully arranged across a primarily single-level layout with a flexible second-floor retreat. Designed for today’s lifestyle, the home blends open-concept interiors, generous ceiling heights, and seamless indoor–outdoor connections to create spaces that feel both elevated and effortlessly livable.

The exterior makes a confident statement with its broad footprint, steep 12:12 roof pitch, and a series of covered porches that frame the home with depth and dimension. Clean rooflines and a welcoming front porch establish strong curb appeal, while the expansive rear porch invites outdoor living, entertaining, and quiet moments of retreat. A four-car front-load garage integrates smoothly into the design, offering ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies without overwhelming the façade.

Inside, ten-foot ceilings on the main level immediately enhance the sense of volume and light. The foyer opens into a spacious great room anchored by a fireplace, creating a natural gathering space that flows effortlessly into the kitchen and keeping room. Large openings and clear sightlines reinforce the home’s open-plan concept, making it ideal for entertaining as well as everyday living.

The kitchen is designed as both a functional workspace and a social hub. A central island with eating bar seating anchors the room, while generous counter space and a walk-in pantry support both casual meals and larger gatherings. The adjacent breakfast area and keeping room provide flexible dining and lounging options, allowing the kitchen to remain at the center of daily life.

The primary suite is privately positioned on the main floor, offering a serene retreat separated from secondary bedrooms. A sitting area adds a layer of comfort, while the spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and a layout designed for relaxation and efficiency. Additional main-level bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged in a split-bedroom configuration, ensuring privacy for family members or guests.

This home is equally suited for work and play. A dedicated home office supports remote work, while a game room and loft provide flexible spaces for recreation, media, or quiet escapes. The second floor adds versatility without compromising the convenience of main-level living, making the design adaptable for changing needs over time.

Everyday functionality is elevated through smart planning details, including a mud room with laundry access from the garage, abundant storage throughout, and utility spaces that keep daily routines organized and clutter-free. Vaulted and volume ceilings in select areas further enhance architectural interest while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

With its generous square footage, modern flow, and emphasis on comfort, this home is designed for homeowners who want space to grow, entertain, and live beautifully—without sacrificing efficiency or style.

See What Our Happy Customers Are Saying

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.

 

Do your plans meet building codes in my area?

All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area.  It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.  

Important Note:

  • Customers building in CA, OR, SC, WA, and NV: Our house plans do not meet Earthquake Seismic/Wind code requirements.
  • Customers building in GA, SC, FL, and NC Coastal Areas: Plans may have to be engineered to meet local Hurricane/Wind codes.
  • Customers building in AL, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, ID, LA, KY, MD, MA, MN, MI, NV, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, UT, WY, and VA: Plans may have to be engineered by a local licensed professional to meet local building codes. Please call your local building department before placing order.
  • Customers building in NV: NV law permits an owner or builder to build a house from their own plans. Contact your local building department to verify if our stock house plans will be accepted before placing order. 

 

Will the plans be stamped or signed by an architect or engineer?

House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer.  Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.

Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements.  The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.

 

Will the foundation included in the construction drawings work for my site?

Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.

   

Do your plans include electrical, plumbing and mechanical drawings?

Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included.  Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings. 

HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site.  Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country.  The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans.
