What to Expect

Building a custom home at Saguaro Ranch is a thoughtful process designed to give owners the time and flexibility to create a residence that reflects both their vision and the character of the home site. The journey begins with home site selection, followed by architectural design and site planning. During this stage, owners and their design team consider the natural topography, views, orientation, native vegetation, outdoor living opportunities, and the way the home will relate to the surrounding Sonoran Desert. Once the plans are developed, they move through the Saguaro Ranch architectural and design review process to ensure the proposed home is consistent with the community’s design standards and preservation philosophy.

Following approval, plans proceed through the appropriate permitting process. Construction can then begin, followed by final inspections and completion of the home. Because every custom residence is unique, schedules will vary based on design complexity, permitting, site conditions, material selections, and construction requirements. As a general guide, owners who purchase in Moonlight Canyon and use the luxury custom home plans should anticipate an overall building process of approximately 16 to 24 months. For buyers beginning to explore the financial side of custom construction, our article, "Cost to Build a Luxury Home in Tucson," provides additional information on the factors that can influence the cost of building a luxury residence in Southern Arizona.

Designed With the Land

Building at Saguaro Ranch is guided by the same philosophy that shapes the community itself. Approximately 80 percent of the 1,200-acre ranch is preserved as natural open space, allowing homes to exist within the desert rather than overwhelm it. Thoughtful site planning considers mature saguaros and other native vegetation, natural landforms, views, light, and the unique qualities of each homesite.

The goal is not simply to build a beautiful home. It is to create a home that feels as though it belongs on the land.
