When you think of country living, you imagine open skies, wide verandahs, and a home that feels welcoming from the moment you step inside.


That’s exactly what the 145 Texas Ranch Edition delivers — a modern take on classic ranch-style design, crafted for today’s lifestyle while preserving the timeless spirit of the country home.


A Home That Balances Simplicity and Style

The Texas Ranch Edition isn’t about extravagance — it’s about living comfortably and meaningfully. With 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 1225 square feet (113.8 m²) of cleverly designed space, this home brings together functionality and charm in equal measure.

The open-plan living area flows naturally into the large verandah — the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxed evenings, or family barbecues under the stars.


Designed for Everyday Comfort


Every detail of this home is designed with practicality in mind:

  • Two spacious bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, offer plenty of personal space.

  • Three bathrooms ensure convenience for guests and family alike.

  • The laundry area is neatly tucked away, making daily chores simple and efficient.

Whether you’re downsizing, building your first home, or creating a cozy retreat on rural land, this design makes every square meter count.


Built for Country Conditions

The Texas Ranch Edition blends aesthetic appeal with practical design for Australian and American environments alike. Its ranch-style façade offers protection from the elements, while the spacious verandah shades the home and expands the living area outdoors. It’s a design that looks just as at home in a small town as it does on an open block surrounded by gum trees or pastures.


A Smart Way to Start — The Consultation Set

Before committing to a full build, you can explore the Consultation Set of Plans, which includes:

  • Detailed floor layout

  • Elevation concepts

  • Basic dimensions and room labels

  • Key design notes for your builder

This allows you to discuss ideas with your builder or designer and visualize the flow of your home — all before moving into a full construction set.


Why Homeowners Love the Texas Ranch Style

There’s a reason the ranch home has remained a favorite across generations — it’s the perfect blend of simplicity, comfort, and practicality. With fewer hallways, open layouts, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the design encourages connection — both with nature and with family.

It’s not just a house plan — it’s a lifestyle blueprint.
