Many people who are in the market for a second home for retirement might find themselves faced with a challenge: Do I want a top-of-the-line custom home design, or do I want something that will fit within my tight budget? And what about luxury amenities like golf, dining, and fitness? Are they completely out of the question now?

Not at Talking Rock Ranch, they’re not.

Thanks to our wide variety of custom homes in Prescott, our members are able to strike the balance between luxury and sensibility. While our homes are constructed to follow the community’s strict building-quality guidelines, they also are priced affordably. This passes along great value to homebuyers and makes Talking Rock an ideal location for second- and retirement-home buyers.

We have Ranch Cottages priced from the mid-$500s, Ranch Homes starting at the mid-$700s, custom homes available from the mid-$700s, and resale homes from the $400s.  Resale homesites start at just $75,000.

As one of the top places to retire in Arizona, Talking Rock also is home to a number of valuable services and amenities. Besides the mild seasons, we also enjoy a Jay Morrish-designed, 18-hole Prescott golf course and access to the latest workout equipment and programs at The Barn Fitness Center, located within the Ranch Compound.

And, for our outdoor enthusiasts, there is a pool, tennis courts, miles of walking paths, hiking/biking trails and more.

The Ranch House offers fine dining in the evenings and casual fare throughout the day. At Coop’s, fresh roasted coffee and fine wines top the list of well-stocked items; gourmet grab-n-go items prepared by Talking Rock’s own Executive Chef Richard Saldivar are fresh and plentiful. WiFi, groceries, mail service and other sundry services make Coop’s the gathering place of the Ranch Compound, and of the community.
