Building in Cañon City
The land shapes the home.
South and west toward the Arkansas River — Cañon City, Penrose, Pueblo West, and Colorado City — the climate turns warmer and drier and the country opens up. For homeowners who want a longer building season, milder winters, and more land for the money, it’s a compelling place to build.
Water is the defining consideration here: whether a lot is on a municipal tap or a well, and what the water rights and supply look like, shapes what you can build and where. Soils and sun exposure differ from the higher, cooler country to the north, and we design for the heat and the light rather than against them.
The method is the same as everywhere we build: understand the land and the water, design the home to the site and the budget, and stay accountable as one team through the entire project.

What it's like to work with us
My husband and I live in Florida, and we purchased thirty-eight acres of land in Cuchara (Southern Colorado) seven years ago. We decided that we really wanted a custom-built timber frame home on our property, and after investigating General Contractors on the Internet and in magazines, we came out to Denver to attend a Log and Timber Home Show where we met Stauffer & Sons Construction. Stauffer & Sons was able to take our ideas and desires and design the perfect home for us. Andy Stauffer was always responsive to our questions and, using his experience, helped us get the maximum timber frame look while staying within our budget. Our Project Manager, Mike, was also a great asset in keeping the project on schedule and making sure the work was done right. Our home is warm, well constructed, and has that “WOW” factor of huge timbers, a great view, and a large, open feel to it.
They really came through and built us what we wanted. They were at our price point and we really liked their product. My favorite aspect is the way they placed the home on the property. It really looks like it belongs here.
Building in Cañon City — common questions
What water considerations come with building around Cañon City and Pueblo West?
Water is the first question here. A lot may be on a municipal tap or on a well, and the supply and water rights differ accordingly — it affects what you can build and how. We help you understand a property’s water situation as part of evaluating whether it’s right for your home.
Is the building season really longer down here?
Generally yes — the warmer, drier climate and lower elevation mean milder winters and fewer weather delays than the mountains or the Divide. We still plan the schedule to the site and the season.
