Discover what sets Saguaro Ranch apart from its iconic tunnel entrance to its artfully designed homesites, each thoughtfully positioned to showcase the breathtaking beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
A private desert sanctuary where nature and architecture exist in perfect harmony.
Tucked within the Tortolita Mountains of Northwest Tucson, Saguaro Ranch redefines luxury desert living. Spanning 1,200 acres of pristine Sonoran Desert, with over 80% preserved as open space, this exclusive guard-gated community blends timeless architectural design, natural beauty, and modern amenities in a setting unlike any other in Arizona.
Every arrival begins with an unforgettable passage through the iconic Saguaro Ranch tunnel, a 700-foot gateway carved through solid rock that opens into a hidden world of serenity and sophistication.
Where ranching roots meet refined desert living.
Saguaro Ranch’s story began long before the first homesite was ever imagined. Once used for cattle grazing and ranching, the land has evolved into one of Southern Arizona’s most sought-after private communities, thoughtfully developed to preserve the desert’s natural character while offering modern luxury.
In 2019, Scott Lundberg and Brian Peschel of Saguaro Property Development, LLC re-envisioned Saguaro Ranch’s next chapter. Their vision: to make it the “Best of the Best” in desert estate living, with an unwavering commitment to design integrity, environmental stewardship, and exclusivity.
A community defined by its landscape and inspired by the art of desert living.
Every detail at Saguaro Ranch reflects a deep respect for the Sonoran Desert, from low-profile architecture that blends seamlessly into the mountainside to underground utilities that preserve unobstructed desert vistas and dark-sky night views. Roads follow the land’s natural contours, and native vegetation thrives untouched.
Homeowners experience privacy, prestige, and panoramic beauty, surrounded by ancient saguaros that have stood for centuries.
Three unique offerings, one extraordinary community.
