This timeless ranch house is designed by Walker-Warner Architects in collaboration with Tucker & Marks, located in Shasta County, Northern California. This is a family compound, where a couple and their children and grandchildren all reside on the same property. Already existing on the site was a shingled Adirondack-style house, which houses the owner’s extended family. The main residence is roughly 6,000 square feet, which serves as a sophisticated private retreat that is spacious enough to entertain the whole family.
The interior design team curated a palette of materials and furnishings that were neither too feminine nor too cowboy — a gender neutral environment to make both clients happy. The decor mixes country antiques with a touch of ranch, and includes the clients’ exquisite American Indian basket collection. This home is surrounded by a tranquil outdoor environment, ideally nestled between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Cascades. Mature-growth California live oaks and lodgepole pines blanket the property. There are several world-class fishing creeks nearby.
What We Love: This timeless ranch house offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere, a haven of relaxation for family living. Every detail throughout the interiors has been meticulously curated. A very successful design with plenty of character and charm. We are especially loving the outdoor living space with the fireplace, so ideal for family gathering!
