Most natural locations have uneven and rugged land, so unless you want to spend the time and money to level your lot, you need a home that's made for a slope. Luckily, we have tons of mountain house plans that are up to the challenge, no matter your situation! House Plan 9798 is designed for a lot that slopes to the side—it stacks bedrooms and living space on three levels, plus it includes an apartment over the garage. It would make a great live-in and rent-out home!

If you have a view lot, a lake home will do wonders whether you look out over water, mountains, fields, or any other landscape. These homes are built around large windows and open interiors that bring natural light and sights deeper inside. Take House Plan 9890, for example—this neat home has a nearly square footprint with an open floor plan from front to back on the first floor and two vaulted bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and deck access upstairs!
