Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine Brings Creativity To Prescott's Talking Rock

Designed to create a home full of ideas for enjoying Arizona's relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the Phoenix Home & Garden Idea House was inspired by the new Prescott real estate of Talking Rock's unique ranch-style homes. The Idea House is situated on just over an acre of one of Talking Rock's golf course lots, and showcases the amazing views of the community and the Jay Morrish-designed course, which received the distinction of being one of Golf Digest Magazine's Top Rated Golf Courses for Arizona in 2005. The innovative team at Phoenix Home & Garden paid close attention to every detail to ensure that the Idea House was expertly built by the finest craftsmen in Arizona. Every vendor, accessory and material were carefully selected to certify that the end product continually brings inspiration to readers and enhances home construction, design and living, as well as showcases the unlimited opportunities in luxury home building.
