Ranch House Plan Started in California
One of the most popular homes in America today is the Ranch House Plan. This plan was developed and made popular by Cliff May. The first Ranch house built by May was in San Diego, California in 1932. Because of their birth place ranch style is also referred to ad California Ranch.
The ranch style home takes its cues from Spanish Colonial, Prairie and Craftsman style. Cliff May liked the Frank Lloyd Wrights Prairie homes. With such strong influences taken from Mr. Wright’s designs you might call Mr. Wright the grandfather of the ranch home.
A ranch home incorporates sprawling rectangular, u-shape or L-shaped footprints. They are normally 1 story homes. The floor plan is probably open and informal. The homes lack ornate outer appearances. For the most part they have simple exteriors with possibly a few shutters. Natural materials are heavily used in these homes. Materials like oak floors and wood or brick exteriors are found in homes of this type.
Ranch homes became extraordinarily affordable for soldiers returning home from World War II. Mass production techniques led to ranch homes becoming ordinary and cheap for the average consumer. That does not mean however that all ranch homes are ordinary or cheap.
Ranch homes planned a large role in the creation of sub divisions. As automobiles more and more popular the need to live in the city became less necessary. Large sprawling sub divisions were created with these spread out 1 story homes.
Ranch style homes gave birth to a few other home plans. The split level home, and the raised ranch are the two most common. These homes now fill the market. That makes them affordable for a first time buyer. Retired home owners are also flocking to these home plans. Because of the 1 level living and wide open floor plans it makes these homes easy to move around and the best choice for handicap equipment such as walkers or wheelchairs.
If you are a first time buyer the ranch house may be at top of your list for availability and price. You can find these homes with simple cost effective features that make them easy to navigate and maintain.

Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House (Hardcover) $71.69 Cliff May’s modern homes epitomize the indoor-outdoor lifestyle characteristic of the American Dream, fusing the open plan/open living philosophy with the traditional ranch house. Starting in the 1930s, the modern ranch house took the country by storm, migrating from California to Arizona, and Cliff May was the chief proponent of this style. His long, low designs managed to be both modern and traditional, celebrating a casually elegant, indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and drawing inspiration from California’s Spanish Mexican ranchos while embracing the latest technological gadgetry. With their low profile, large carports and garages, patios, and expansive horizontality, May’s modern ranch houses became synonymous with the nascent California lifestyle and were enthusiastically promoted by the popular Sunset magazine throughout the U.S. He personally designed and built more than 1,000 homes and commercial buildings, and over 18,000 designs are attributed to his office, including the Robert Mondavi Winery and the offices of Sunset.Complete with new color photography, Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House celebrates the best of May’s work, from his start building homes during the Depression to how he evolved a brand of regional modernity that fulfilled the public’s desire for informal living in the 1950s and 1960s. |

Stranded On The Ranch $4.99 CABIN FEVER? She'd meant to escape her overprotective family, but waking up in a sexy stranger's truck, speeding toward his snowbound cabin, was not exactly what wealthy city girl Kari Sinclair had in mind. Still, she presented handsome rancher Dillon Tracy with a proposition—I keep house, you give me a place to stay. Simple, right? Dillon couldn't help but be entranced by the doe-eyed beauty who emerged from his truck that snowy night. But playing house was becoming a dangerous game. Because as the snow piled up outside, Dillon could feel his temperature rising…and his vow never to marry slipping away. |

Ranch Houses (Hardcover) $59.56 With its archetypal open plan and reverence of indoor-outdoor living, the Ranch house is at the very heart of the California dream. When we picture California Ranch houses—the low-slung, informal dwellings that engulfed suburbs after World War II—we are thinking of just one part of a phenomenon that has its roots in early-nineteenth-century ranchos, and which continues today in houses that are startling and up-to-the-minute. Examples of the type have been called ranchos, ranchers, and California ramblers. They have been styled Spanish, Japanese, and French; Monterey and International; Vernacular, Minimalist, and Modernist. From the 1797 Rancho Los Alamitos of Long Beach to such contemporary homes as the Miller Residence of Corte Madera, Ranch Houses unveils the great variety and the very finest examples of this multifaceted form. Including the work of such architectural luminaries as Cliff May, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Charles Moore, Ranch Houses is an essential resource for architects, home owners, and all those who aspire to the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that is the California Dream. |
