Ranch House Plans
Designed by Cliff May, the first western-inspired Ranch style house plans were built in 1932 and became the dominant American home style from California to New Jersey in the 1950s and 1960s. Ranch homes are typically one story; however, split level designs are common. Ranch home designs have few decorative elements except shutters or porch-roof supports. The exterior is faced with wood, brick, or a combination of both. Convenient features make ranch home plans an ideal choice for young buyers and retirees. One-story Ranch floor plans are safe for children and make rooms accessible to persons of all abilities. 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. Ranch home designs can also be found in be rectangular or U-shaped floor plans. Another common feature of the relaxed, informal Ranch house plan is a sliding door in the back that leads to a patio.
