Golf Course Paradise

Phoenix, filled with southwestern charm, delicious cuisine, and desert beauty, is home to the Estrella Mountain Ranch, a master-planned community covering over 20,000 acres in the shadow of the Sierra Estrella Mountains.  A self-contained community with its own general store and elementary school, residents can get everything they need without ever moving their cars.  Home sites are located in separate neighborhoods divided by winding roadways and rolling terrain, giving the community a small town feel.  Choose from several home models or buy a homesite and design your own custom home.  Home prices start in the high $200,000s and go up to over $650,000 for custom homes with sweeping panoramic views.

The Estrella Mountain Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus II, offers residents challenging play amidst breathtaking beauty. Carved out of the mountains and adjacent desert, the course has recently been named one of “America’s Top 100 Residential Golf Courses� by Golfweek Magazine.  The adjacent Starpointe Residents Club offers a complete range of facilities, including a full-service restaurant and a pro shop.

In addition to golf, residents at Estrella Mountain Ranch can enjoy tennis, scenic winding trails for biking, walking and rollerblading, and 72 acres of lakes featuring boat docks and a variety of freshwater activities.  A community center offers a myriad of activities for the 1200 families that call the Ranch home, including the annual “Cool Desert Jazz Festival� and performances by the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra.  Future plans for the community include a police and fire station, additional schools, shopping, and a medical center.  The aim is to make Estrella Mountain Ranch a truly self-contained small town.
