Jackson Ranch will be developed in a modern farmhouse style.

A contemporary interpretation of rural American architecture, the modern farmhouse style utilizes recognizable traditional forms like silos, barns, sheds, granary towers, wells and front porches. Roofs are typically medium to high pitched, and elevations feature large openings patterned after functional agricultural structures. Typical materials exemplifying the textures of the style are corrugated metal, wood, stone, and board and batten siding.
