5 Types of Ranch Homes

The ranch's simplicity, open floor plan, soaring walls of glass, and open floor plan are timeless designs that keep the homes popular. You are sure to find the right ranch-style home for you and your family!  Highly energy efficient, exceeding local energy codes, a balance of comfort, style and budget!


5 Different Types of Ranch Homes

Though different styles of ranch homes do share common characteristics, there are also key features that can set them apart. Here are some distinct styles of ranch homes that are tailored to different homeowner needs.

California Ranch

Also known as a rambling ranch, the California ranch is characterized by an L- or U-shaped structure built low to the ground. This sprawling, single-story style is designed to blend with nature. A patio and front lawn are key features of the California ranch.

Suburban Ranch

Though the suburban ranch is similar to the California ranch in its L or U shape and open-concept interior, it is more compact and asymmetrical in structure. Its other main features include an attached garage and backyard

Split-Level Ranch

The split-level ranch has a similar exterior to the suburban ranch but with three stories of staggered living space. Its unique layout features a front door leading into the living, dining and kitchen areas, with two half-flights of stairs leading to bedrooms and additional living space.

Raised Ranch

Like the split-level ranch, the raised ranch features multiple stories of living space, though with a distinctly different layout. The front door of the raised ranch opens directly to a staircase leading both upstairs and downstairs, with the kitchen and bedrooms usually on the upper level.

Storybook Ranch

Also known as the fairytale ranch, the storybook ranch stands out from other ranch styles because of its ornamental details. This design features diamond-shape window panes, a decorative chimney made of brick or stone, and a steep, gabled roof.

Our clients can take a plan straight out of one of our home design plan books, they can modify an existing design or work with our architectural designer for a fully custom home. Our design program offers you three ways to design and build the home you want for your site, budget and lifestyle. 

By personalizing an existing Lindal Home floor plan, clients are able to build a stunning home that is built to last without breaking the bank. Some simple modifications to existing plans such as, different exterior materials and accents or changes in the shape or placement of windows, can have a tremendous impact on the way the home looks.  

Not only can you customize an existing Lindal plan, you can also design your own original Lindal from the ground up! After we sit down and go through your ideas, wants, needs and budget, our design team will be able to provide you with a quick sketch to show you what your future home will look like. At this time, we can also give you the approximate Lindal package price based on your wants, such as the type of siding, style of windows, etc. 

Lastly, our architectural designer is always here for a custom-fit solution! Our architectural designer will regularly meet with you and our team to show progress on your home plans, as well as to make decisions and changes. A digital 3D model of your home will also be provided to help you visualize the space. This approach is able to give you exactly what you want in your home within Lindal's post-and-beam system.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer our clients outstanding service within an established and functional system-built home structure, ensuring that you design a home that can actually be built!
