The Haystack V is a single-story modern farmhouse house plan that delivers architectural ambition, exceptional outdoor living, and a bedroom suite configuration rarely found at this scale — all without a single stair in sight. At 2,070 square feet of thoughtfully organized heated living space, this plan is purpose-built for homeowners who want the full modern farmhouse experience on one level, with the kind of exterior presence and interior volume that makes a lasting impression.
The footprint alone signals something different. Stretching 86 feet 6 inches wide and 51 feet 5 inches deep, the Haystack V commands its lot with the kind of broad, grounded horizontal presence that suits acreage, rural properties, and generously sized suburban lots equally well. The exterior delivers on the promise of that scale with a refined combination of brick and board-and-batten siding — two of the most enduring materials in modern farmhouse design — set beneath a standing-seam metal roof with a dramatic 12:12 primary pitch that gives the roofline its bold, steeply gabled character.
Outdoor living is a defining strength of this plan in a way that few single-story designs can match. A 260-square-foot covered front porch creates a welcoming street presence and a genuine outdoor sitting space for morning routines and neighborhood connection. At the rear, a 692-square-foot covered porch transforms the back of the home into an outdoor room of extraordinary scale — large enough for dining, lounging, and entertaining simultaneously, and positioned to take full advantage of whatever views or landscape the property offers.
Inside, 10-foot ceilings run throughout the main living areas, establishing an upscale, open atmosphere from the entry forward. The great room elevates that already generous ceiling height into something genuinely spectacular — a 25-foot vaulted ceiling that soars above the main gathering space, flooding it with light and giving the interior a sense of volume that defines the entire personality of the home. This is not a decorative gesture; it is the architectural centerpiece around which the entire main living zone is organized, and it makes every moment spent in the space feel expansive and unhurried.
The great room flows without interruption into the dining area and kitchen, creating a fully connected open-plan living zone that serves both daily family life and larger-scale entertaining with equal ease. The kitchen is positioned as a true social hub — with excellent sightlines to the great room, direct connection to the outdoor rear porch, and a layout designed for serious cooking and effortless hosting. Ample workspace and storage keep the kitchen functional under real-world use, while its open relationship to the surrounding spaces ensures the cook is never isolated from the action.
The bedroom configuration of the Haystack V is one of its most distinctive and practical advantages. Every bedroom in the plan includes its own dedicated en suite bathroom — a feature that transforms the home's livability for families with older children, multigenerational households, or anyone who regularly hosts overnight guests. Three full bathrooms and one half bath serve the home in total, ensuring that morning routines, guest stays, and everyday household traffic flow without friction or compromise.
The primary suite is thoughtfully separated from the secondary bedrooms, positioned for privacy and quiet at one end of the home. The sleeping area is spacious and retreat-like, connected directly to a well-appointed en suite bath and a generous walk-in closet that provides organized, accessible storage for two. A dedicated study adds meaningful flexibility to the plan — equally useful as a home office, hobby room, reading space, or overflow guest accommodation — while the centrally located laundry room keeps daily utility tasks convenient without intruding on the living spaces.
The front-load two-car garage at 636 square feet with 18-by-8-foot doors provides full-depth parking for larger vehicles along with substantial room for storage, tools, and equipment. Built with 2x6 exterior wall framing and stick-framed roof construction, the Haystack V is engineered for strength, energy efficiency, and long-term durability — a home built to the same standard it presents on the outside.
For homeowners who want single-story living without single-story limitations, the Haystack V from The House Plan Company delivers everything: a vaulted great room that stops people in their tracks, en suite bathrooms in every bedroom, nearly 1,000 square feet of combined covered porch space, and a modern farmhouse exterior that commands attention on any lot it occupies.
