Mended Oak Design & Engineering is excited to introduce our newest residential plan: Ron’s Sable Palm. This design was inspired by one of our early customers, Ron, who came to us with a clear vision—create a small cluster of homes on his land to meet local housing needs, build generational wealth, and generate income for his business. As you know, we pride ourselves on providing the plans people want for the houses they need. In Ron's case, we developed this plan with his goals in mind, and it’s now available to families, investors, DIY builders, and owner‑builders across Florida.
A Practical, Family‑Ready Home Design
Ron’s Sable Palm is a 3‑bedroom, 2‑bath home with a single‑car garage, engineered for affordability, buildability, and long‑term durability. The layout is intentionally simple and efficient, making it ideal for:
- Small or growing families
- In‑fill lots in Jacksonville and other Florida cities
- Suburban neighborhoods with standard lot sizes
- Investors seeking a repeatable, cost‑effective model
Like all Mended Oak homes, the floor plan balances community and privacy. An open living/dining area welcomes you at the entry and flows naturally into a spacious kitchen. A central hallway leads to bedrooms on both sides, and a rear lanai opens to the backyard—perfect for outdoor living in Florida’s climate.
Complete Architectural & Engineering Plans Included
When you purchase this plan, you receive:
- Full architectural drawings
- Florida PE‑stamped structural plans
- A design that meets current Florida building code requirements
- Clear, buildable details suitable for owner‑builders and contractors
Our goal is to make the permitting and construction process as smooth as possible, especially for those taking a hands‑on approach.
For DIY Builders: What to Expect
Ron’s Sable Palm is rated a 6 out of 10 on the Mended Oak DIY Scale, making it a more ambitious—but absolutely achievable—project for a determined owner‑builder.
You’ll be constructing:
- Traditional platform‑framed walls
- Conventionally framed ceilings and roofs
- Gable faces
- Multiple window and door installations
All required tools and materials can be purchased or rented from your local big‑box or wholesale building supply store. We strongly recommend watching DIY tutorials ahead of time so you can decide which tasks you want to tackle yourself and where you may want professional help.
A Finished Home Designed for Connection and Rest
At Mended Oak, we believe a home should support both community and quiet renewal. Ron’s Sable Palm reflects that philosophy with:
- Comfortable shared spaces for gathering

This design offers the balance many families are searching for—practical, welcoming, and built for everyday life.
