Ranch House Plans

Ranch House Plans

The Ranch house plan style has a variety of definitions. In many parts of the country when people refer to a Ranch house plan, they simply mean a 1-story house plan. This Ranch home plan could be a Craftsman, Prairie, Spanish, you name it. For the most part, Ranch house plans evolved from several 20th Century styles. Ranch house plans have many of the following features:

Single story
Low-pitched roof
Deep set eaves
Horizontal layout
Often L-shaped with attached garage protruding forward
Low-slung 'rambling' appearance
Use of sliding doors and large windows
Simple floor plans

There is an additional type of Ranch house plan called the Raised Ranch or 'split entry' home. The Raised Ranch will have the foyer or entry at mid level so that when you enter the home you must either go up or down a half flight of stairs to get to living spaces. The lower level would be partially submerged and act as your basement (or daylight basement) foundation. Typically the majority of living space will be on the upper level, allowing for future expansion such as family rooms and additional bedrooms downstairs.

The modern Ranch style house plans saw emergence in the 1940's. After the war, the huge surge in demand for economical housing landed the Ranch house plan in top position. California real estate developer Joseph Eichler popularized a distinctive Ranch Style that is in high demand today. Luxury Ranch house plans are also available at MonsterHousePlans.com.
