In everyday American speech, a rancher is someone who owns or works a ranch — raising cattle, horses, or other livestock on large stretches of land. In real estate, the term shifted to describe a single-story ranch-style house: long, low, and sprawling, built close to the ground. The house style boomed in postwar suburban America and remains a popular term in property listings today.
They listed the rancher at a steal — three beds, one level, and a massive backyard.
