Grand Hill Country Style (Floor Plan)

You don’t have to travel to the European countryside to find a home that feels grand, warm, and full of surprises.

This sprawling hill country estate draws you in with its stately facade and wide, welcoming entry.

It’s a home where family life, entertaining, and quiet escapes are seamlessly integrated. With three stories, 5 bedrooms, and more than 6,000 square feet to explore, every corner seems to offer something a little unexpected, whether it’s a cozy nook or a grand gathering space.

Specifications:

• 6,170 Heated S.F.
• 5 Beds
• 5 Baths
• 2 Stories
• 4 Cars

The Floor Plans:

Entry and Raised Foyer

Step under the arched front entry and you find yourself in a vestibule that feels both impressive and inviting.

The raised foyer offers a moment of pause, with a view into the main living area and a sense of openness that sets the tone for what’s ahead.

Tall ceilings let in plenty of natural light; the symmetry here is classic, but not stuffy.

The foyer branches gently toward the main living spaces, and you’ll notice the subtle details—the curve of the stairs, the way rooms flow easily into one another—designed to make movement smooth, even during big gatherings.

Dining Room

To your right, the dining room stands ready for both everyday meals and formal dinners.

The proportions are generous, easily fitting a large table, and the placement near the front of the house gives it a feeling of importance.

Big windows make the space bright during the day, while architectural details add just enough drama for candlelit evenings.

If you enjoy hosting, you’ll appreciate how the dining room connects directly to the rest of the living areas, but still offers a sense of occasion.

Study

On the opposite side of the foyer, the study gives you an ideal spot for working from home or reading in peace.

With its built-in bookshelves and a handsome window looking out onto the terrace, the room feels secluded without being isolated.

I think this sort of placement works well if you value both quiet and easy access to the rest of the house.

There’s even a hidden nook perfect for storing files, or for a child to curl up with a book.

Parlor

Move further in, and you enter the parlor—a gathering space that balances comfort and elegance.

This is the kind of room that would work equally well for a book club, a morning coffee, or welcoming neighbors who stop by.

The shape is distinct, with soft angles that make furniture arrangement easy but still interesting.

You’ll notice how this space acts almost like a hub, connecting the main living and private areas.

Powder Room and Closets

Just off the parlor you’ll find a powder room, convenient for guests, and a coat closet for outerwear and boots.

These practical features make a difference in daily life, especially when you’re entertaining or corralling kids after a muddy afternoon outside.

Family Room

As you pass through the center of the house, the family room opens up with a sense of scale that encourages everyone to gather.

Oversized windows overlook the backyard and lanai, letting sunlight spill in and connecting you to the outdoors even when you’re inside.

Built-in shelving and a fireplace mean you’ll have space for everything from family photos to board games.

This is where movie nights and lazy Sundays are likely to happen, with enough room for everyone to spread out.

Cafe

Next to the family room, the cafe offers a casual dining space that feels just right for breakfast or after-school snacks.

The proximity to both the kitchen and the outdoor lanai makes it easy to transition from indoor meals to fresh air whenever you want.

I really like how this spot bridges the formal and informal sides of the house, making each meal feel relaxed.

Kitchen

The kitchen sits at the core of the living areas, designed for more than just cooking.

A curved island anchors the room, ideal for prepping meals or helping kids with homework while you cook.

There’s a walk-in pantry for storing everything you need, plus easy access to both the cafe and dining room.

The layout supports busy mornings and big holiday feasts alike.

I think home cooks will appreciate the dedicated spaces for appliances, the efficient traffic flow, and the connection to the rest of the home.

Utility

Just off the kitchen, the utility room acts as a hardworking hub. Laundry, cleaning supplies, extra storage—you can keep it all neatly organized here, out of sight but right where you need it.

The location makes sense, especially for families juggling sports gear, muddy boots, and endless piles of laundry.

Mud Room and Garage Access

From the utility room, step into the mud room. There’s storage for shoes, coats, and sports equipment, so clutter never has to spill into the main living spaces.

The mud room leads straight into the garage, making it easy to unload groceries or come in after a rainy day.

Garage and Shop

The garage is massive, with separate bays and even a dedicated shop area for hobbies or projects.

Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a DIY fan, or just enjoy having extra storage, this space is a huge asset.

There’s plenty of room for bikes, tools, or even setting up a small workshop.

Wine Room

Positioned between the kitchen and dining spaces, the wine room provides a special feature for anyone who enjoys collecting or entertaining.

The location makes it easy to grab a bottle for dinner or store special vintages without trekking down to a basement.

I think this is one of those features that gives the home a bit of personality.

Bedroom 2 Suite

On the main level, Bedroom 2 is set apart for privacy, making it a natural choice for guests or multi-generational living.

With its own full bath and easy access to the family room, this suite balances independence and connection.

There’s even a small pantry right nearby, so guests feel truly at home.

Master Suite Hallway

Heading to the other wing of the house, you’ll notice a sense of separation that sets the master suite apart.

The hallway offers a buffer from the main living spaces, adding a layer of privacy you’ll appreciate at the end of a long day.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom itself is expansive, with room for a sitting area and views out to the terrace.

The design invites relaxation, whether you choose to curl up with a book by the window or step outside for a breath of fresh air.

For anyone who likes a retreat from daily bustle, this suite delivers.

Sitting Room (Master Retreat)

Attached to the master bedroom, the sitting room gives you a private spot to unwind.

Maybe you’ll use it for yoga, a quiet reading nook, or as a dressing space.

I love when a suite includes this kind of flex zone; it makes the bedroom feel like a true escape.

Master Bath

The master bath is designed for luxury and function. Separate vanities (labeled “His” and “Hers”), a soaking tub, and distinct zones for showering and getting ready make mornings less hectic.

Natural light and well-planned details, like built-in shelves, give the room a spa-like vibe.

His and Hers Closets

Flanking the master bath, you’ll find spacious his-and-hers closets. No need to fight for hanger space. With enough storage to keep wardrobes organized, these closets keep the suite tidy and serene.

Master Terrace

From the master suite, slip out to the private terrace. This outdoor retreat is hidden from the main yard, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or quiet conversation as the sun comes up.

Lanai

The lanai wraps around the rear of the house, connecting the main indoor spaces to the huge backyard.

Covered and open-air zones mean you can host outdoor dinners, set up a grill, or simply relax while watching kids or pets play on the lawn.

Casita

Just off the lanai, the casita offers a flexible space with total privacy. It’s ideal for longer-term guests, an office, or even an art studio. With its own entrance, it feels separate but never isolated from the main house.

Stairs and Pantry

Near the kitchen, stairs lead up to the second level. You’ll notice the pantry nearby—handy both for everyday meals and big parties, since it’s easy to grab snacks or ingredients on the way upstairs.

Upstairs Landing and Loft

At the top of the stairs, you’re greeted by an open loft. This area could be a homework hub or an extra lounge, connecting easily to all the upstairs bedrooms and game room.

The overlook gives you a clear line of sight down to the foyer below, so you’re always aware of what’s happening across the house.

Bedroom 3

Bedroom 3 sits on the sunniest side of the upper floor, complete with its own play area and direct access to the sun deck.

If you have teens or kids who love their independence, this room hits the mark.

There’s enough space for sleeping, studying, and hanging out, all in one zone.

Play Area and Sun Deck

Just outside Bedroom 3, the play area and sun deck offer indoor and outdoor escapes.

These spaces are perfect for fort building, art projects, or just soaking up some vitamin D on a nice day.

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 4 is larger and includes its own play area, making it another strong choice for kids who need space to spread out.

The closet and layout keep things organized, and windows on two sides mean light floods in all day long.

Kids’ Nook

Across from Bedroom 4, a kids’ nook is carved into the hallway. This is one of those little surprises that families end up loving—great for reading, homework, or a bit of quiet time away from the main action.

Bedroom 5

Down the hall, Bedroom 5 offers yet another comfortable retreat. With windows that look out over the grounds, it’s a restful, private spot. Whether you need a guest room or a teenager’s hideaway, it’s ready for either.

Game/Exercise Room

The ultimate upstairs bonus is the game and exercise room. Massive and bright, it’s easy to imagine this space filled with everything from ping pong tables to yoga mats or even a home theater setup.

I think this room transforms the upstairs into a true hangout zone, perfect for parties or staying active year-round.

Covered Balcony

Step out from the game room onto the covered balcony. You get sweeping views of the backyard and plenty of space for outdoor sofas or a table.

This is a great place for evening chats, stargazing, or keeping an eye on kids below.

Loft and Unfinished Storage

The loft area ties the upstairs together, leading to a large unfinished storage room. If you need space for holiday decorations, luggage, or even future expansion, this storage spot is a huge bonus.

With so many well-planned details and connections between rooms, this hill country manor balances grand living with everyday comfort.

You can host a crowd for the holidays, find quiet corners for work, and let kids roam safely indoors and out.

Every level offers something different—and the possibilities here feel wide open.
