Ranch House Plans

The ranch house plan reflects a traditional and practical approach to house design.

Classified within the Modern family, the asymmetrical Ranch house plan is generally built with a low-pitched gable roof, deep set eaves, and a large attached garage. Ranches are typically built with one story; however, split level designs are also common. The exterior of the house -- composed of natural wood, bricks, and large picture windows -- gives the home a traditional and no-nonsense feel. Ranch style homes have few decorative elements, save for the shutters or porch-roof supports.

The classic L-shaped rambling Ranch floor plan combines the living and dining areas into one, with a hallway that leads to the family room and bedrooms on the other side of the home. Ranch designs can also be found in be rectangular or U-shaped styles. Another common feature of the relaxed, informal Ranch house plan: a sliding door in the back that leads to a patio.
