What Is A Ranch Style House?
Sometimes listed as a California ranch, rambler, American ranch, or just rancher, ranch-style architecture is usually one-story and asymmetrical in design. These homes make the most of your indoor and outdoor space with courtyards and easy-to-landscape yards. They are also designed to combat the scorching weather of the southwest.

American Born Design
Unlike many other popular architectural styles imported from Europe, ranch homes were developed in the United States. They took the features people loved about Spanish Colonial architecture, cowboy ranches of the southwest, and Mexican haciendas and simplified them into suburban bliss.

A Rambler As Unique As You
Beginning at their roots, in the 1920’s with designer Cliff May, the modern ranch house has come a long way and seen many alterations. You may be familiar with some of these renditions of the rambler and find inspiration for your own custom home in looking back at these design styles.
- California Ranch House – L or U-shaped with an outdoor courtyard in the middle.
- Suburban Ranch House – a simplified version of the California, with an open concept floorplan and connection with the outdoors.
- Split-Level Ranch House – consists of three levels of living. Main living areas are on the main floor with bedrooms upstairs and additional space downstairs.
- Raised Ranch House – sometimes called split-entry houses. When you walk in the door, you choose between walking up to kitchen, bedrooms and main living areas or down to utilitarian spaces like garages and rec rooms.
