Designed with relaxation and outdoor living in mind, this home brings Contemporary Hill Country charm to any property—especially those with a lake, river, pool, or scenic backyard. While the street-facing side features a clean, understated façade with two single-car garage doors, the true personality of this home opens up on the opposite side, where a spacious front porch and full-width upper balcony capture the best views your lot has to offer. Whether overlooking water, a pool, or a wooded landscape, this elevated balcony becomes the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply taking in the natural surroundings. Inside, the efficient layout feels open and bright, with large windows and a streamlined living/kitchen area designed for everyday comfort or weekend getaways. The kitchen includes a peninsula bar and walk-in pantry, creating a practical and inviting space for hosting guests. A dedicated mudroom sits right where it’s needed—providing a smart transition zone for rinsing off after swimming, returning from the river, or coming in from outdoor activities. Downstairs, the oversized garage offers more than storage and parking. Its layout is intentionally designed to allow one half to function as a game or hobby space—perfect for a ping-pong table, pool table, workshop, or gear storage—while still keeping room for a vehicle on the opposite side. This flexibility makes the home ideal as a guest suite, ADU, rental unit, backyard retreat, or waterside getaway. With its simple footprint, versatile design, and emphasis on outdoor living, the Spicewood Retreat adapts beautifully to lakefront lots, poolside properties, corner lots, and scenic acreage. Easy to build and enjoyable to live in, it’s a plan that brings style, function, and relaxation together effortlessly.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.

Important Information

Some of our plans are also available on other websites and in printed catalogs. We are committed to selling these plans at or below the lowest price available elsewhere. If you find a regularly priced plan (not “on-sale”) for a lower price, we'll beat the advertised price by 5%. We will match the price for any on-sale plans.

Once our staff is able to verify that the same plan is offered at a lower published price, Houseplans.com will offer the plan for sale at the lower published price less 5%. Our discount is available for immediate plan purchase only. Please call us at 1-800-913-2350 . .

All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.

All house plans on Houseplans.com are designed to conform to the building codes from when and where the original house was designed.

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to ensure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
