Cactus Companies is pleased to announce that it has received the “Best of Parade” Award for an amazing renovation of a waterfront vacation home in Horseshoe Bay at the Hill Country Builders Association 2017 Hill Country Parade of Homes Tour™ builder awards ceremony in Marble Falls.

The home also received Best Master Suite and Bath, Best Architecture Features, Best Craftsmanship, and Best Outdoor Living awards at the ceremony, which was held on Oct. 10. “We are incredibly pleased to have received such a high honor from the Hill Country Builders Association,” Grant Dean, owner of Cactus Companies, said. “Working on this house was such a unique and wonderful experience for all of us. Receiving the ‘Best of Parade’ Award, along with all of the others combined, was so beautiful. None of this could have worked out as well as it did without the complete support of our entire team at Cactus. Their hard work and dedication are second to none.”

This palatial waterfront home’s renovation project includes a drive-through cascading river and lighted basketball court. Originally built in 2002, highlights also include a spectacular three-tiered pool with an upper volleyball pool, a 12,000-pound rock waterfall, a walk-in dry cave underneath the upper pool with a swim-up bar grotto under the waterfall.
