One-Story/Ranch Home Plans

One-story, ranch-style homes are popular among homeowners because of their open floor plans, easy access to each room, and no stairs to climb. Design Basics offers a variety of ranch house floor plans in different design styles, and all plans can be customized to fit your specific needs!

What Is a Ranch-Style Home?

A ranch-style house is a popular home design with living areas and the bedrooms all on the main floor, eliminating the need to climb stairs multiple times daily. These easy-living one-story house plans offer improved traffic flow from room to room and a variety of floor plan layouts.

At Design Basics, our collection of one-story floor plans can be customized to include everything you want. Ranging from less than 500 square feet to luxury designs of more than 7,000 square feet, we're here to help you build your dream ranch home!

Why Are People Choosing One-Story House Plans?

Many people opt for a single-story home because of its open, spacious floor plan. Potentially eliminating a staircase can free up square footage, so you have more space for larger rooms that naturally flow from one area to the next.

Ranch-style homes are also easier to maintain. Cleaning is a breeze as there's no need to carry a vacuum and other supplies up and downstairs. Exterior upkeep doesn’t require such a tall ladder. Plus, ranch homes today are better than ever—with interesting roof lines, higher ceilings, bigger closets, and lots of great home styles available.

Characteristics of a Ranch Home

While our selection of one-story homes can be customized to fit your exact needs, here are a few common features typically seen in our ranch-style houses.

Open Floor Plans

With ranch homes being only one story, many of these designs feature an open floor plan, easing communication and helping everyone to feel connected. Open layouts also make the space feel larger, and there's better traffic flow from one room to the next.

High Ceilings

Ranch houses often showcase higher ceilings in select areas, another feature that contributes to their feeling of spaciousness. These taller ceilings also allow for more or larger windows that bring in additional natural light.

Storage is Prioritized

Having large closets in your home is great for added storage. From spacious coat closets to walk-in closets in the bedrooms, a ranch home can give you the storage space you need.
