Of course there were pics of the house out there.

4000 square feet, 8 rooms, one story - for most of the house, tin roof - actually seems kind of modest when compared to homes of folks like say Gore or Kerry - those folks own REAL mansions:

I don't know why you think a swimming pool or an 8 room house makes a ranch not a ranch. 1583 acres of land in rural TX - thats a ranch. It was a ranch when the previous owner owned it, did it somehow become not a ranch because a Bush bought it?

Prairie Chapel Ranch is a 1,583 acre (6.4 km²) ranch in unincorporated McLennan County, Texas, located seven miles (10 km) northwest of Crawford. The property was acquired by President George W. Bush in 1999 and was known as the Western White House during his Presidency.

Bush spends vacation time at the house where he has also entertained dignitaries from around the world.

The ranch gets its name from the Prairie Chapel School which was built nearby on land donated by mid-19th century German immigrant Heinrich Engelbrecht from Oppenwehe, Germany, who owned the land that now comprises the Bush ranch. Engelbrecht also donated land for the nearby Canaan Baptist Church (the "Prairie Chapel").
