Talking Rock, a private, master-planned golf course community in Prescott, is set to debut a new model within its Ranch Cottage collection.  The new model precedes the anticipated construction of several new Ranch Cottage homes within Talking Rock following the sale of the previous model and existing new-home inventory.

Talking Rock’s Ranch Cottages are detached, single-family homes designed and developed by Geoffrey H. Edmunds to gracefully capture the essence of luxury western living. To celebrate the opening of the new model, Talking Rock will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 25. Light food and beverages will be served in the new model home, and special incentives will be offered to potential buyers.

The Ranch Cottages, starting at $459,900, are offered in four floor plans ranging in size from 1,960 to 2,555 square feet, with design touches that include granite slab or ceramic tile countertops, plush carpeting and sprawling covered front and back porches designed to weave indoor and outdoor living together. Select floor plans also include options for a three-car garage or a guesthouse.

“We are impressed with the overall pace of construction activity at Talking Rock and eagerly await the completion of the newest Ranch Cottage model,” Jim Jones, director of sales at Talking Rock, said. “The beauty of our Ranch Cottage collection is that it blends the privacy of a single-family home with the flexibility of a lock-and-leave lifestyle, which is an intriguing prospect for many buyers.”  

Beyond golf, residents at Talking Rock enjoy access to a community dog park, a fishing deck over a bass and bluegill-stocked pond, a community garden, an on-site coffee shop/gathering place and a full-service bar, grill and restaurant. Talking Rock residents also have the opportunity to indulge at the pool and boutique spa, exercise at the state-of-the-art fitness center and explore nearby hiking and biking trails.
