This tidy ranch style home was designed for a bachelor who loved horses. It didn’t work out; he is happily married now, with a beautiful girl who also loves horses! A great starter home, this could also be a retirement dream, with extremely low costs for maintenance and utilities. With just 3.5 KW of PV installed, this home will achieve Zero-Energy status in most climates in the US, especially the flipped version of the plans, with the living room and master bedroom on the East side of the house instead of the West side as pictured here.
The full length front porch provides plenty of shade on those hot summer days, and lets you enjoy the rainy days from the outside without getting wet. A very simple plan, easy to build, the original version of this home has been enjoying energy savings for over ten years now. Order your plan set, and saddle up!

What's Included in Our Zero-Energy Home Packages
We provide the most complete plan packages available on the market. We are interested in the ultimate success of your project, not just in selling a set of house plans.
We include foundation plans, foundation details, floor plans of all levels, framing details, floor framing plans, and elevation views from all sides. We also provide an electrical plan, though you will want to modify the lighting to your own tastes. Most importantly, we provide a complete mechanical plan, tailored to YOUR climate zone.
We used to ship either a “Basic Set” of plans, with just one copy of each page, or a “full Set”, which ideally would include enough plan pagers for all of your key suppliers and subcontractors. Now most people prefer to have you send them a PDF to bid from and work from, and they will carry it with them in their portable device. Even banks and building departments are now preferring electronic plan copies.
There are now FedEx Office, Office Max, and similar locations all over the country where you can have full size plans printed at a far lower cost than what we can provide, especially when the cost and time required to ship them across the country is considered. When you need an extra copy of a certain page, you can simply e-mail the pdf page you need to the local outlet, and they will have it all printed and ready for pick-up by the time you arrive. Isn’t technology wonderful!
