Pioneer Ranch, USA

Nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Sun Valley, Idaho, the Pioneer Ranch residence is a testament to the seamless integration of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. This stunning 3677 sq. ft. home, designed by Farmer Payne Architects and interior designed by Suede Studio, is a true masterpiece of modern ranch-style living.

The exterior of the home features authentic hand-hewn heavy timber and stone with big grout joints, reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship, giving it a warm and lived-in feel. The strategic orientation of every element, from the flex room and powder room to the kitchen, is purposefully designed to capture breathtaking views of the Pioneer Mountains and the adjacent pastures where horses will graze.

The interior of the home is bathed in natural light, creating a cozy yet spacious ambiance. The use of antique floorboards from France and rustic hand-hewn timbers adds to the home’s rustic charm, while modern colors and finishes bring a touch of sophistication. The equestrian-inspired design elements pay homage to the surrounding landscape and create a sense of harmony between the indoors and outdoors.

The Pioneer Ranch residence was not without its challenges, however. According to the design team, one of the key challenges was creating an intimate space for entertaining and daily living, while honoring the grand views surrounding the home. The solution was to pair rustic, grounded elements with modern colors and finishes, alongside a seamless outdoor/indoor living space.
