At Southern Cottages, we offer distinctive house plans to make your dreams come true. From the playful, coastal cottage getaway we call the Island Cottage to the stately Grand Gazebo Cottage and everything in between, we know you will find your perfect house plan.
House Plans with Coastal Charm and Southern Spirit

We offer small cottage house plans from less than 1,500 square feet to low country farmhouse mansion plans over 4,200 square feet. Our designs cater to a variety of needs, including “rooms with a view” to take advantage of water views, coastal or mountain vistas, low country, or other special vantage points available on your property.

Client Testimonials
I looked at over 10,000 plans over the course of 5 years. My wife and I could never agree on a plan until we both looked at your plan and said, “that’s it!” in unison. D. Schiavo
Hurricane Ike beat up all the homes near our Island Cottage and yet she stood totally unharmed! Proving this house was well-designed! So, when it came time to build again, I could not even consider anyone else’s plans. Michelle
We want to thank you for having had the privilege of enjoying your architectural skills. B. Turner
