A traditional log home ranch has one long roof ridge, with a fairly shallow pitch. The home’s horizontal lines look best on a flat site, but can appear more modern on a slope. Metal roofs are a wise pick for standing up to the hot sun and drifting snow. The ranch house should feel communal, with a wide-open sense of welcome. Wrap-around porches look great on a ranch home, and permit entry at a number of places. Find a ranch house plan that's perfect for you and your family.
