master planned community: Estrella
Featured New Home Communities
This is what happens when the Sonoran Desert is the design muse. When her brilliant artistry and understated elegance guide the sense of place. The synergy between desert and home is palpable and where one ends and the other begins is beautifully blurred. Linear parks are tucked into washes, trails wrap around saguaros, through desert verbena and into the Sierra Estrella Mountains. Neighborhoods and homes are designed in concert with the terrain , and are as varied and diverse as the desert. Rich Spanish and Hacienda architecture with their signature porches and patios, verandas and courtyards transform homes into inviting gathering places. Smooth stucco detailing, stone archways, bougainvillea-draped trellises complete the inspired design.
And behind the tree-lined streets and the rambling pedestrian walkways, stands a larger mission. Montecito is advancing Estrella's commitment to preserving our environment. By creating a better community balance through conservation and more efficient use of resources, a commitment is made to preserve and complement the land, not compete with it. And you can see how caring for the desert makes for remarkable living.
Since the first families moved to Estrella nearly two decades ago, to the community we now call Mountain Ranch, life has been lived like it should be - with arms wide open and balloons tied to mailboxes. Parks and pools have hosted years of birthdays and retirement parties. Schools have watched kids graduate and return to teach. Trails have been walked on first dates and golden anniversaries. Homes have celebrated new jobs, new babies and old friends. Some clubs and gathering places have been around since the beginning, now long-standing traditions. Others are just getting their feet wet, fresh with new ideas and possibility.
Today, Mountain Ranch continues to grow, adding more opportunities with each new neighborhood to live among tradition and values, deep and timeless.
