Designed as a vacation home for owners Jamie and Jill Ince, the Cactus Flower is the perfect example of a ranch style home for a family who loves outdoor adventures. Located in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado where the Chalk Creek Canyon joins the Arkansas River Valley, Mt Princeton Hot Springs Resort, white water rafting, and hiking are all at their doorstep.

The Cactus Flower design is intended to have long-term appeal for people from all walks of life; this single-story, open timber frame floor plan is the perfect customizable canvas for anyone seeking to build a dream home that will match their present and future lifestyle needs.

The main living area of the home is made up of soaring vaulted ceilings. Massive Douglas Fir timber frame truss members are supported by timber posts which help to define the individual spaces. The elegant simplicity of King Post trusses frame the Great Room, drawing you into the space. Adding a prow wall to the back side of the house takes full advantage of the spectacular views. The Great Room is the place to be if you want to enjoy the amazing views of the Chalk Cliffs or just sit and relax by the cozy fireplace. The large outdoor deck also has some amazing views of Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton.

The spacious kitchen and dining area open to a large rear deck creating a nice size outdoor space for entertaining guests. The mud room with its separate entry and easy access to the pantry is a great use of space in this single-story home.

There are three large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. There is also an additional half bath off the entry foyer. The basement boasts of a large rec room which is well suited for fun of all ages.
