Texas Country Ranch Homes For Sale

When many people think of Texas, they often automatically think of rambling ranch homes. This type of architecture is especially popular in certain areas of the state, like the Hill Country. In fact, people often move here specifically for the Texas country ranch homes for sale, and the ample land on which they are located.

Why ranch homes are so popular

“Of all the home styles out there…one type surpasses the rest in popularity and prevalence in the United States, and given its American origins, it might come as no surprise,” said Country Living. “According to a new report from Trulia, ranch homes are the most popular kind of home in 34 states across the U.S.”

That includes Texas, where these homes featuring single-story floorplans are in demand. Today, young families, retirees, and everyone in between, are drawn to Texas country ranch homes for sale in large part because of the lack of stairs; this architectural style has long been a favorite in the Hill Country, where owners can spread out both in their home and on their land, while enjoying the peaceful environs.

“This style's single-story design makes it ideal for both baby boomers and young families alike—both of whom gravitate toward the style for the long-term practicality inherent with having no steep staircases,” said Apartment Therapy. “Ranch-style homes boast a layout conducive to integration with the outdoors, too,” because they “often have expansive windows,” creating “nearly unparalleled views of nature (that) foster a sense of harmony with the elements. Ultimately, many homebuyers who choose ranch homes settle on the style because of what it symbolizes: laid-back living. Typically situated on spacious lots and oriented to take advantage of large backyards, the ranch home begs to be lived in. Bonus? The style is a true American original.”

Indeed, opportunities for indoor-outdoor living are high on the list of must-haves for buyers of Texas country ranch homes for sale, especially in Texas Hill Country communities like Vintage Oaks, where recreation and opportunities for entertaining are as abundant as the breathtaking views of rolling hills and towering oak trees. “Nature lovers also find ranch-style houses appealing because they can be adapted with large glazed doors to fashion good flow between outdoors and indoors,” Mark Stapp, executive director of the Masters of Real Estate development program at Arizona State University and former chairman of the board at Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Foundation,” told Realtor.com.
