Cost to Build the Hatley House Plan: A Texas Farmhouse Wrapped in Porches

The Hatley House Plan from HPZ Plans is a 1,698-square-foot Texas farmhouse that spends its budget where farmhouses should: 387 square feet of covered porches (a deep 263-square-foot front porch and a 124-square-foot rear one), a steep multi-pitch roofline, and an open kitchen built around a large island with a walk-in pantry. All three bedrooms sit on the single level, with the primary suite — generous bath, oversized closet — split from the two guest bedrooms and their shared bath. Rear-entry lockers, a powder room, and a utility room with real cabinetry handle the daily traffic, and a 2-car garage rounds out the footprint.

Estimated Cost to Build the Hatley

Finish level	Estimated cost range (house only)	Per sq ft
Good	$179,000 – $248,000	~$124
Better	$207,000 – $288,000	~$144
Best	$249,000 – $346,000	~$172
Custom	$279,000 – $387,000	~$193

These ranges cover the 1,698 square feet of heated living area — the house itself — at national-average rates. The garage and outdoor spaces are priced separately: the plan's 494-square-foot 2-car garage adds roughly $31,000–$48,000 (about half the living-area rate, by finish level), and the 387 square feet of covered porches (front and rear) add on top of that — the customized report itemizes porches, decks, and every other line for your exact plan and ZIP.

What Drives the Cost of This Plan

• A serious farmhouse roof. The primary pitch is a steep 10:12, with secondary planes from 3.5:12 up to 12:12 and a 25-foot peak. Cut-up, steep roofs take more material, more labor time, and often staging — this is the line item that separates the Hatley from a plain rectangle ranch.
• 387 square feet of covered porch. Both porches carry foundation and roof like the house itself; the deep front porch is the plan's signature and its biggest "non-living" cost after the garage.
• A wide single-story footprint. All 1,698 square feet, plus garage and porches, sit on one foundation under one roof — more concrete and roofing per living square foot than a two-story, traded against simpler framing and stair-free living.
• The kitchen core. A large island, walk-in pantry, rear-entry lockers, and a cabinet-lined utility room concentrate the plan's millwork budget — cabinetry grade will swing the interior finish number more than any other choice.
• Two and a half baths. Three wet rooms' worth of plumbing, fixtures, and tile in under 1,700 square feet.
