 
Outstanding Traditional Designs
The developers of The Ranch Golf Club Estates have chosen
Southern Living plans as the theme for this exceptional residential
community. All plans at The Ranch Estates are subject to
Architectural Review. These home designs should successfully capture
and preserve the integrity and grandeur of the great country estates
of the past with thoughtful attention paid to architectural detail
and proportion. Exteriors are constructed with stone, clapboard or
brick motifs that echo the charm of 19th century rural dwellings while
the interiors are richly appointed and accommodate the homeowner with
a graceful space for living and entertaining. The landscape compliments
the surrounding natural environment with a careful integration of
local maple, oak and birch trees on each of these 1acre + homesites.
Stone walls ponds, and rolling meadows abound throughout the golf
community. Whether a charming cottage or a grand mansion, each residence
at The Ranch Golf Club Estates brims with regional character
and elegance.

beautiful.

items for consideration by the ARC:

- Proposed and existing landscaping designs and plans.

PLANNING YOUR HOME
The Protective Covenants for The Ranch will be an important
element in your planning. In addition, the following architectural
guidelines are designed to assure that The Ranch Golf Course
homes share a commonality of design and tone while allowing for full
expression of individual requirements.
BUILDING DESIGN The Ranch
offers a choice of architectural styles with specific land areas assigned
to southern living architectural .colonial or traditional designs,
The ARC can provide suggestions on selection of your architect and
builder.
ROOFS
Roof shape, pitch, materials and colors should be harmonious with
existing conditions and overall building design, including solar devices,
skylights and dormers. Use of heavy duty and substantial materials
are encouraged. Accessory roofs should be kept in the same style as
the principal roof. Avoid shiny or other materials that would detract
from your home and its surroundings. Your roof is a major design element
of your home and should be viewed as a three-dimensional sculpture
compatible with the land around it.
WALLS
Use materials and finishes that complement the design and are harmonious
with the neighborhood. Whenever possible, use natural materials, taking
into consideration the visual weight the wall will carry.
WINDOWS AND DOORS
Use high quality thermal windows and doors. Finish and trim should
coordinate with the overall scheme. Your windows are your view to
The Ranch Golf Courses four season beauty and should be placed strategically
so you can enjoy the full range of visual experiences afforded by
your property.
DRIVEWAYS/WALKS
Make these as permeable as possible. Use graceful, curving lines.
Create linear contours that complement your home and surroundings.
LIGHTING
Plan fixtures and standards that do not intrude on the privacy of
your neighbors. Subtle lighting of architectural elements is encouraged,
as is softer down lighting.
CHIMNEYS
Masonry is encouraged but other types of chimneys will be approved
if appropriate. Choice of proportion and material should give a substantial,
stable appearance for best effect.
SERVICE AREAS
To maintain the natural beauty of The Ranch it is necessary that trash
areas, meters, transformers, fuel tanks, air conditioning equipment
and so on be kept out of public view.
FUEL TANKS
Enclose fuel tanks within a building or bury them underground.
FENCES
Ideally, the greatest preservation of the natural environment would
be realized if no fences were built. However, when functional necessity
requires fencing, it should be a extension of the natural materials
and overall design of your home and grounds. Use natural plantings
to soften the effect.
LANDSCAPING
Use indigenous plant materials when landscaping. Remember that your
home is part of an integrated whole that includes the golf course,
trees, forest, meadows, fauna, earth, water, color and contours. Your
new land formations and plantings should harmonize with the existing
topography of the land.
HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION
The Homeowners Association dues are $130.90 per month for 2006.
PROTECTIVE COVENANTS
The Protective Covenants will insure the equity and integrity of the
golf community.
