Discover the Charm of Maine Cottage House Plans: Perfect for Your New Home!

Planning to build your dream home in Maine? Choosing the right house plan is the most exciting first step! Here at Maine Home Builders, we know that finding a design that balances cozy charm, practical function, and affordability is key and that’s exactly what our Maine Cottage House Plans offers.

Maine is known for its rugged coastline, beautiful forests, and a relaxed, community-focused lifestyle. A cottage-style home captures the essence of this state: it feels welcoming, manageable, and is built to withstand the unique climate. Whether you’re looking for a cozy retirement haven, a spacious family home, or a budget-friendly starter, we have a cottage plan that will fit your vision.

Let’s take a closer look at five of our most popular and versatile Maine Cottage House Plans, designed to make your building journey simple and enjoyable.

1. The Addison: Retirement Living on a Budget

If you’re looking to downsize or build a home that’s easy to maintain, the Addison plan is a fantastic choice. This 2-bedroom small country ranch is designed with budget and accessibility in mind.

• Key Features: It boasts an open concept floor plan for easy movement and entertaining, a handicap-accessible bath, a convenient carport, and a separate storage shed.
• Built for Maine: The home is built on a frost wall with an insulated slab, a sturdy foundation that is ideal for our cold Maine winters.
• The Vibe: Simple, efficient, and perfect for retirement or anyone seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance lifestyle.

2. The Palmyra: Practicality Meets Affordability

The Palmyra is an attractive and smart 2-bedroom raised ranch home plan, making it an excellent option if affordability is a priority for your new build.

• Key Features: The downstairs features a 2-car garage, entry foyer, laundry area, and a half bath—keeping the main living area quiet and private. The upstairs is dedicated to an open concept living space with a highly workable floor plan.
• The Vibe: A classic style that offers smart separation of spaces. The built-in garage saves you money and offers protection from the weather, while the layout provides great value for the space.

3. The Samoset: Classic Comfort with Upscale Touches

For those who love the traditional look of a ranch but want a few extra features, the Samoset is a standout. This popular 3-bedroom country ranch offers great curb appeal and interior comfort.

• Key Features: You’ll love the full-length porch across the front, the 2-car garage, and the nice entry foyer. The open concept living area features an elegant tray ceiling and a fireplace, perfect for cozy Maine evenings. The master suite is a true retreat with a large walk-in closet and a master bath complete with a claw foot tub!
• Practical Perks: Stairs lead to the full basement directly from the 2-car garage, eliminating the need for an unsightly exterior bulkhead.
• The Vibe: Comfortable, roomy, and filled with amenities that make everyday living feel a little luxurious.

4. The Deer Isle: The Ideal New England Cottage

The Deer Isle plan truly embodies the essence of a charming New England-style cottage. This 3-bedroom home is designed for comfortable first-floor living.

• Key Features: Guests enter through a welcoming breezeway before stepping into the large, open concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The generously sized master suite is conveniently located on the first floor. The two upstairs bedrooms are larger than average, providing great space for family or guests.
• Bonus Space: The large 2-car garage has stairs to storage above. We offer an optional upgrade to turn that space into a recreation room or a ‘man cave’—perfect for hobbies or entertaining!
• The Vibe: Tons of curb appeal, great for entertaining, and designed to embrace a relaxed, indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

5. The Corrina: Timeless Colonial Style

While technically a traditional colonial, the Corrina fits right into our cottage plan ethos by offering a classic, manageable design that feels like home. This popular 3-bedroom plan provides space and function.

• Key Features: The first floor features a porch and an open concept kitchen, dining, and living room, plus a versatile multi-function front room (great for an office or den). Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortably sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
