Architectural
Design Manual
The Wilson Ranch Home
The intent of the Guidelines is to allow
for flexibility of architectural expression within a framework of
post and beam construction suitable for this unique property.The goal is to achieve diversity of character through design elements
representative of the land and surrounding area.Important elements of the Design Philosophy
are:
- Function
- Appropriateness
- Harmony
- Natural Elements
- Site
Orientation
- Simplicity
in Detail
The following pages contain suggestions how
one might successfully execute this concept.
Residential
Overview
The character of the Wilson Ranch Home is
established through the application of an American tradition found
in the essence of the post and beam construction methodology.This form is expressed by:
- The massing of a series of stepping forms.
- Large timber roof frames supporting gabled roofs.
- Expansive
covered porches and decks, extending from the living areas.
The buildings are recognized at a distance
by large, simple roof forms, often using gables and hips; siding,
placed in a horizontal pattern; and stone accents.The
structures are a mixture of strong masculine details with natural
colors and rich accents.Natural
light is used to welcome and warm style in a refreshingly rugged and
friendly manner.
Historical
Background
The post and beam construction originated
in the seventeenth century with the Swedish immigrants.This type of construction was adopted by American
settlers from many cultures, yielding a variety of regional personalities.In the West, ranch homes and working buildings
utilized abundant local timber to create structures with voluminous
great rooms.The “Western
Mountain Home” was born.

Fundamentals
Wilson Ranch Lakefront Designs
David Leavengood Architects,
also the designer of Freestone Inn, created four exciting lodge designs
to choose from.Select one
of them and customize to suit your needs and vision.
Building Square Footage
Residential
homes living space square footage may vary in size ranging from
1500 – 2800 square footage and must fit into the 4000sf building
envelope.
Trailside Boundary Setbacks
All buildings or structures shall be set back from the
Wilson Ranch boundary with the Forest Service land at least 50 feet.
Trailside Building Setbacks
All buildings and structures shall be set
back from road right-of-way lines and from the periphery of the planned
unit development to comply with the following standards and building
envelopes:
Building Setback Limits
- Front Setback – 50
feet, depending on homesite size and configuration.
- Rear Setback – 50
feet, depending on homesite size and configuration.
- Side Yard Setback – 25
feet.
- Please refer to the Typical Homesite Layout in Section III for
site planning examples.
Building Height Limitations
Dwellings
shall not exceed 35 feet above average finished grade, with a
maximum of 2 ½ stories.
Lot Square Footage Requirements
The trailside lots have a building envelope
of 7,000 square feet, and lakefront lots are 4,000 square feet.These building envelopes are designed to balance
the size of structures with the environmental setting of the site.By maintaining buildings size to within the
building envelope, the effectiveness of the open space between sites
is maintained.
Final Plat Map
The Final Plat Map, provided by the developer with purchase
of property, controls all setbacks and easements.If there are conflicts between the plat map
and these guidelines, the plat map will govern.
