Estrella Ranch

On Settling in the Sonoran Desert Valley
Desert life-it's more dynamic and mysterious than any other kind of habitat. At first glance, the desert appears stoic, marked by stately mountains and majestic cacti with a thousand stories to tell. Take another look and it is gentle and subdued, softened by a sunset or a groundcover of wildflowers. Only when you truly live in the desert, track its trails and stare at the night sky, do you come to understand its nuances. When you live amid the creosote and desert poppies you learn that underneath the desert's rugged exterior lies a fragile ecosystem. And only when you settle down in the desert do you realize life anywhere else pales in comparison because desert sunsets are all, only in the desert-the desert at Estrella.

Inside Estrella
Nestled in the Sonoran Desert Valley, Estrella is changing the way we live and thrive in the desert. It's a living experience based on deep respect for the land, life and family-something we call balance. And it's found wondering the miles of trails, tracking quail and floating 72 acres of lakes. It's found wading in the resort-inspired Starpointe Residents Club pool, playing the award-winning Nicklaus Design golf course and digging your toes into the South Lake beach sand, all of which is complimented by one of our greatest amenities: serenity. 20,000 acres of it. So we invite you to comes see what's blooming out here. Then make yourself at home. There's plenty of room.
