Introducing the Gateway Cottage Home Collection

Gateway is thrilled to present our newest offering, a selection of plans which have been specially designed to provide exceptional function within a smaller footprint. Our design department had one goal in mind when developing the Cottage Collection: to fashion floor plans that integrate high-quality construction with main-level living that caters to those who want to downsize or prefer a smaller layout. The result is innovative designs constructed by quality home builders and featuring modern finishes, soaring ceilings, cozy fireplaces, ample windows for natural light and versatile basement square footage that can be tailored to the needs of each client.

One of the outstanding features of these plans is the reduced amount of maintenance needed. Our cottages require less upkeep thanks to their smaller size and many low-maintenance materials. Imagine a warm and welcoming home that will endure for decades with minimal expense!

Here’s a peek at these exciting new designs.

The Cottage Collection

The Ansley Cottage

The Ansley floor plan by Gateway is all about lifestyle. Encompassing just over 1,700 square feet, this original design ties together the interior spaces seamlessly. The flowing floor plan offers a stunning great room with a high vaulted ceiling, optional floor-to-ceiling fireplace and a large dormer roof window that allows in tons of natural light. The galley-style kitchen leads to a spacious dining area. With three bedrooms configured in a split layout, this home combines both elegance and flexibility.

The Ansley’s open-concept layout links the living area to the backyard, making it easy to move the entertaining area outdoors with a summer barbeque or a cozy gathering around an outdoor firepit. At the entryway, the covered porch provides protection from Wyoming weather and plenty of space to relax and unwind.

The Camden Cottage

Similar to the Ansley, the Camden strikes a fine balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. The welcoming entry features a covered porch that’s perfect for chatting with neighbors or enjoying a cup of coffee. Included in 1,438 square feet of main-level living space is the light and bright great room, with transom windows that permit exceptional natural lighting while still ensuring privacy. A generous chef’s kitchen with a large island and breakfast bar sits adjacent to the dining area, providing abundant space for modern living.

Two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms are included on the main level. A walk-through laundry room and drop zone make daily chores and organization a snap.

The Sawyer Cottage

This cottage plan is the essence of elegance and active living. A front entry with a large covered porch welcomes visitors into the Sawyer. A soaring vaulted ceiling highlights the great room, making it feel exceptionally grand and spacious for a home with a smaller footprint of just under 1,600 square feet. The interior of the home features a gourmet corner kitchen with an enviable amount of counter space, plus a unique hidden pantry with all the storage you could need.

The primary suite offers easy accessibility and privacy since it’s split from the secondary bedroom and bath. A spacious drop zone and laundry room offer plenty of storage and act as a natural transition to the inside of the home.

The Ironwood Cottage

This strikingly contemporary cottage plan offers approximately 1,400 square feet of well-designed living space, featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. What really sets the Ironwood apart is its open-concept living, kitchen and dining area, an inviting space that’s large enough to entertain. An optional linear electric fireplace enhances the modern feel and creates a beautiful focal point within the room. The great room also provides direct access to the side deck, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor relaxation.

The Ironwood’s streamlined yet elegant design caters to those who value modern style and easy maintenance.

The Bridgerton Cottage

Our newest cottage design showcases a grand great room with high vaulted ceiling, filled with natural light. The corner chef’s kitchen offers plenty of room for culinary exploration while keeping the cook at the center of the home’s living area. An adjacent dining room sets the stage for cozy family meals. An expansive primary suite and secondary bedroom with full bath are located at the rear of the home for ultimate privacy.

An optional side deck offers the chance to create your own outdoor escape to enjoy nature and quiet moments of reflection.

4 Benefits of Cottage Living

Less Expense

Building acottage home requires fewer materials so the initial cost for quality home builders to build a new home is less than with a larger residence. Small cottage layouts are more affordable to heat and cool, making utilities less costly than in a larger home. A smaller home also costs less to furnish and decorate.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest benefits of a smaller home is that it requires less maintenance to keep it at its best. With less square footage to maintain, homeowners typically find cottages to be more manageable than larger homes.

Stronger Relationships

With less space to hide, living in a cottage home definitely encourages togetherness. Sharing a small footprint requires cooperation and prompt resolution of differences, which promotes stronger relationships between friends and family.

Less Environmental Impact

With fewer materials necessary for new home construction, your cottage won’t require as many resources to build. This translates to a smaller impact on the environment.
