ranch
The French word for ranch is ranch.
In French, ranch refers to a house or property located on ranch land. For a facility dedicated to horse-related activities or riding lessons, you might use centre équestre. If you are specifically referring to a horse ranch, you can use ranch équestre. For a cattle farm, the term ferme bovine is appropriate. Additionally, if you are discussing ranch-style architecture, the phrase maison de style ranch is used.
Meaning: house or property on a ranch land (noun)
