Shopping for just the right place

Default Image of The Crowne Canyon - House Plan Number 732-D

We searched high and low for just the right home to build on our newly acquired land...well, actually we picked the house long before we bought the land, but it just so happens that the house design will work out perfect!

Our search for the right place mostly included internet searches, browsing magazines and a whole lot of Home and Garden TV. We found a "dream home" in a magazine picked up at Lowes'...but as we studied it we realized it would have been ridiculous to build. Fortunately, the same magazine held a plan by Donald Gardner Inc. (Architect) called "The Crowne Canyon" that was more traditional/conventional, had a similar style and floor plan and fit both our needs and wants.

So, the beginning of all of this was solved by simply picking up one of those magazines you see by the checkout at Lowes'...we bought the plans, had an architect/engineer here add in details to bring it to local spec, and that was it.
