House Plans

Ranch Style

Our ranch house designs are all about space and flow. With wide façades, low-pitched rooflines and generous layouts, these home plans are great for wide or acreage blocks – especially in rural, semi-rural or master-planned estates.

Every one of our plans has been created to suit exactly how modern families live right now, meaning:

  • Open-plan living, kitchen, and dining areas at the heart of the home.
  • Breezy indoor-outdoor integration for year-round entertaining.
  • Separate bedrooms and living areas for privacy and functionality.
  • Large master suites with walk-in robes and ensuite bathrooms.
  • Mudrooms, studies, theatre rooms, or multi-purpose areas (depending on your needs).

You’ll also find oversized windows, wide hallways, and outdoor features like covered alfresco areas, all designed to generate a real connection to your surroundings and make everyday life more comfortable.

Looking for something sprawling and spacious? Prefer a home with just the right amount of room? We have a huge range of home designs that can be tweaked to suit your lifestyle and budget.
 

Characteristics of Ranch Homes

What defines a ranch-style home? They’re practical and adaptable making them a perfect choice for Queensland living. While interpretations differ between people and experts, there are a few hallmarks that set ranch homes apart from other architectural styles:

  • Single storey living: Ranch homes are almost always one level, which makes them perfect for families with young kids and empty-nesters, or anyone who prefers a layout without any stairs.
  • Horizontal above verticality: These homes are wide, not tall. The long, low rooflines and stretched-out façades create a very welcoming appearance.
    Simple and functional layouts: Most ranch designs use a linear or L-shaped plan that groups spaces logically – separating private areas from social rooms while keeping that smooth flow throughout.
  • Connection to the outside: Huge windows, sliding doors and patios are built-in to make outdoor living the norm and draw natural light into the home.
  • Casual class: Open-plan spaces and indoor-outdoor design – ranch homes support relaxed, social living but always with a sense of warmth and comfort.
