Plantation House Plans
Plantation homes were once the mansions of the South. They sat on vast acreage with crops stretching to the horizon. These homes were, and still are, grand in scale and housed numerous family members and staff. Today's plantation house plans have evolved from the plans of the past, keeping the home's large size but improving upon the interiors and the exteriors of those that were designed during the years of the Civil War.

Stately Plantation Style Home Design
Southern plantation floor plans were designed with Greek Revival and French Colonial styles in mind. The homes had formal ballrooms and servant's quarters as well as studies, libraries and other gathering spaces. Guests would enter the home through a spacious foyer and be greeted by a marvelous staircase leading to the second floor.
Exterior Details
The exteriors haven’t changed much over the years, keeping the signature columns along the facade. These columns sometimes stretch beyond the second floor and support a long balcony. Plantation houses are symmetrical and have an equal number of windows on each side of the door. Other exterior features include:
- Full-length window
- Gabled dormers
- Multiple chimneys
- Wraparound porches
- Hip and gabled roofs
Interior Details
Modern plantation floor plans have spacious interiors with several bedrooms and full baths. A great room is common in many plans, including kitchens with butler's pantries. A breakfast nook and a dining room sit adjacent to the kitchen, and some home plans include libraries and guest suites as part of the design. Other common interior features include:
- Granite and marble tiles
- Wood flooring
- Decorative crown molding
- Spiral staircases
- Media rooms
Why Consider a Plantation Style Home?
A plantation style home is ideal for a large family due to the sheer amount of space on the inside. It can have five or more bedrooms with an equal number of full bathrooms, including guest suites for extended family. Those who also plan to build on a massive lot with plenty of acreage are the prime candidates for plantation floor plans.
