One of the commercials I remember from childhood involves a Realtor driving a couple around a neighborhood and showing them ranch after ranch house plan<\/strong> even after the couple says, \u201cDidn’t we say \u2018No ranches?\u2019\u201d I can\u2019t even remember the company or the point of that commercial but that one line got into my head and stayed with me. I grew up with this idea that ranch house plans were undesirable, so imagine my surprise to find out that ranch house plans are the most popular choice for house plans.<\/p>\n

Ranch house plans share one simple attribute: they are house plans with one-story living.\u00a0 Aside from that, ranch house plans can be as diverse in floor plan and exterior design as you want.\u00a0 Whether you are looking for a small retirement cottage or a luxurious Mediterranean villa there is a ranch house plan<\/i> for you.<\/p>\n

As an example of the exterior styles you can find, homes like the Park Place house plan<\/a> have a modern exterior while the interior encourages occupants to lead an efficient lifestyle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Say, you want something a little more modern for your exterior style. Homes like The Park Place house plan\u00a0give you that modern and contemporary styling while still giving you the efficiency of single-story living.\u00a0 The Park Place house plan has plenty of amenities embedded into the design that allow you to live efficiently and practically.\u00a0 A welcoming foyer houses lots of storage space for coats and shoes and minimizes the dust and dirt tracked into the house.\u00a0 The home office<\/a> is directly accessible from the foyer, allowing business and pleasure to be co-located but still remain separate when needed. The office can also serve as a flexible space, easily becoming a guest room or additional bedroom.<\/p>\n

Craftsman house plans<\/a> like the Aspen Creek<\/a> pack a lot of punch into a single-story.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you need a home that is somewhat larger you can look at homes like the Aspen Creek house plan<\/a>.\u00a0 Not only does it have ample space for four bedrooms and four bathrooms but it also has amenities like a cozy study, game room, and cooking patio.\u00a0 This house plan\u2019s central zone is the main living area where you will find a family room, keeping room, and living room that are separated only by a breakfast bar.\u00a0 You can also enjoy the view outside from large windows while you keep cozy with two corner fireplaces in the living room and keeping room.<\/p>\n

\"ranch<\/a>
Homes like the Lado del Rio<\/a> house plan embrace the storybook cottage aesthetic<\/a> while still giving you the advantages of a single story home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are looking for something that feels a little bit more like a cottage, then house plans like the Lado del Rio<\/a> will be just your cup of tea. The Lado del Rio offers wide open planning and lots of room to grow. The spacious front porch is inviting and cozy and a large rear porch creates the perfect space for outdoor entertaining<\/a>.\u00a0 With extra luxuries in the master suite<\/a> like a walk-in shower and large walk-in closet you will find that this home has everything you could possibly want, all in one story.<\/p>\n

This is a small sample of the various exterior styles you will find when looking into a single-story floor plan. If you want to keep browsing you can take a look at the large ranch house plan<\/u> collection<\/a> from The House Designers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
