When you think of a home that truly embodies the spirit and culture of Texas, it’s a good bet that the first thing that comes to mind is a traditional ranch home. A classic ranch property is an ideal structure that authentically reflects the deep and varied influences of the history and heritage of the Lone Star State. When it comes to an ideal ranch home location, the Austin area—surrounded by the rolling hills and rugged terrain of the Texas Hill Country—is the perfect place for the relaxed lifestyle and stunning scenery that Texas ranch style homes provide.

What Is a Ranch Home?

A traditional Texas ranch home combines simplicity with intricate personality, featuring a “rambling” blueprint, usually one story that’s wider than it is deep, and large porches, cross ventilation and other features that marry the indoors and outdoors. Ranch homes are generally divided into living and sleeping wings, which creates a more focused home layout. Custom Texas ranch homes also tend to include specific features, such as:

• Limited (modest, minimalist) exterior, which leads to extravagant options for interior ornamentation
• Raised or “split foyer” implementations that allow for depth and internal complexities
• Horizontal layouts that provide continuity of interior and exterior design
