“The kids were just thrilled with Santa,” said Greg Dobson, Whitney Ranch Community Association General Manager. “But I do have to say, I think the parents were just as excited.” 

The Ranch House, the resident-exclusive community center in Whitney Ranch master plan community in Rocklin, is evolving into the perfect place for residents to enjoy all sorts of activities. Just last October the center was host to the third annual Life is good® Pumpkin Festival. 

 “We love The Ranch House and have enjoyed both the pumpkin and Santa activities,” said resident Wendy Frazier. “The facilities and staff are the best.”  

In addition to events hosted by the Whitney Ranch Community Association, The Ranch House is also designed for residents to host their own events. All of the single-family home resident members at Whitney Ranch have exclusive access to the facilities on site, many of which can be reserved for special occasions or large gatherings. The Sunset Lounge is just one area of The Ranch House. Residents can enjoy the Grand Chaparral Ballroom, conference facilities, a demonstration kitchen and much more.  Just outside the ballroom, residents can relax on the stone patio complete with a fireplace and fountains to help folks unwind.  

The Ranch House also features free wireless internet access, allowing residents the opportunity to balance relaxation with the convenience of staying connected.  

Outside is a 4,000 square foot pool and nearby kids wading pool with splash pad to keep cool during warmer months. With shaded cabanas and a bath house with showers, The Ranch House pool area is more like a resort than a community center. A picnic lawn and shaded lattice covered gas barbeques complete the outside features. 

The distinctive architecture of The Ranch House is in harmony with the community’s ranch-style theme. Residents are welcomed under a grand porte-cochere and simple, but stately stonework which adorns all sides of The Ranch House. A decorative iron entry gate greets visitors at the reception; and wooden water wheel on one side harkens back to a simpler time and adds more ranch-themed flare. 

“We wanted to build something that was architecturally striking while still being as comfortable as the residents’ very own family rooms,” said Rebecca Parre of Newland Communities. “We knew The Ranch House would be the highlight of the community.”
