French Country House Plans

Inspired by the French countryside, French country house plans radiate warmth and comfort. At the same time, the French country style can be both rustic and luxurious with refined brick, stone, and stucco exteriors, steep rooflines, and beautiful, multi-paned windows.

From small cottages to estate-worthy chateaux, French country house designs have both asymmetrical and symmetrical exteriors. They can also be either one-story or two-stories. Homes with the French country style include key common characteristics.

• Natural materials for the exterior, like stone, brick, stucco, and wood
• Steep, sloped, and sometimes varied rooflines
• Tall, rectangular windows highlighted by shutters or arches
• An interior with wood or natural stone floors and exposed wooden beams
