Ranch Collection
Ranch house plans offer single-level living at its finest, combining practical layouts with architectural simplicity that has stood the test of time. These sprawling, horizontal designs typically feature open concept living spaces, large windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow—hallmarks that make Ranch homes ideal for both families and empty nesters.
The signature elements of Ranch floor plans include wide frontages, attached garages, and integrated outdoor living spaces like covered patios and wraparound porches. Inside, you'll find split bedroom layouts that place the primary suite away from secondary bedrooms, creating natural privacy. The heart of these homes centers on spacious great rooms that flow into well-equipped kitchens with islands and breakfast nooks, perfect for both daily living and entertaining.
Today's Ranch house plans blend classic architectural features with modern must-haves like walk-in pantries, mud rooms, and flexible home office spaces. Many contemporary designs incorporate vaulted ceilings, larger primary bathrooms with spa-like amenities, and energy-efficient features while maintaining the Ranch style's characteristic low-pitched rooflines and clean exterior lines.
Ranch homes are particularly well-suited for aging in place, with their single-story design eliminating the need for stairs. Wide hallways, accessible doorways, and zero-entry showers can be easily incorporated into these plans. The simplified exterior maintenance and efficient HVAC systems make Ranch homes both practical and economical to maintain.
Whether you're building on a rural lot with sweeping views or in a suburban neighborhood, Ranch house plans adapt beautifully to different settings and lifestyle needs. Their versatile layouts can range from cozy 1,500-square-foot designs to expansive 3,000+ square foot homes, with options for walkout basements in sloped lots adding even more living space.

Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.
Foundation Types
When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.
CAD Files
All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
