Sanders Architecture Designs the new Rockin' 8 Ranch to create a look that alludes to the idea that it is appearing like it rose up from the land. Located right in Brown County in the heart of central Texas, the Rockin' 8 Ranch is made up of three buildings including a guest house, a garage, and the main residence. It all sits on top of a rocky outcropping that overlooks the views of surrounding properties.
Sanders Architecture states, "In order to capture the breathtaking views of Jim Ned Valley from every room, the main lodge structure, and the smaller guest house are sited on the side of a rocky hill. It would have been easier to design and build a house for a flat parcel within the ranch, but [founder] Christopher Sanders wanted the home to be tucked into the landscape."
