TUCSON, AZ, USA, (October 31, 2024) — Mattamy Homes, the largest privately owned homebuilder in North America, has recently expanded its presence in the Tucson market with the purchase of 13.4 acres of land in Windmill Ridge at Mountain View Ranch, located in the sought-after town of Vail, Arizona.

The land was purchased for $1.14 million and closed on September 18, 2024.

This land acquisition represents Mattamy’s first lot take-down entrance into the larger Mountain View Ranch master-planned community. Mattamy will feature 50 single-story homes ranging from 2,278-3,056 square feet, situated on 3/4 to 1-acre lots. Select floorplans will also offer options for four-car garages or RV garages.

“We are delighted to bring the Mattamy Way to the Mountain View Ranch community,” said Anjela Salyer, President of Mattamy’s Tucson Division. “This location within Pima County offers breathtaking views of the Rincon Mountains and convenient access to top-performing schools, major employment hubs and natural preserves. We are eager to bring our high-quality homes to this community, and we believe it will be a valuable addition to our strategically located communities available across the Tucson region.”

One of the major draws of Mountain View Ranch is its location in the highly acclaimed Vail Unified School District. In addition, the community also offers convenient access to employment corridors at the University of Arizona Tech Park, Davis Monthan Air Force Base, and downtown, via Interstate 10.

As part of its commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the area, Pima County has been granted trail easements within the open space areas of the community for future planned trailways. The community is surrounded by natural desert open space, with stunning views of the Rincon Mountains to the east.

Residents of Mountain View Ranch will have easy access to the Cienega Creek Natural Preserve, a 4,000-acre preserve located just a 10-minute drive away. This community also connects to the 819-mile-long Arizona Trail, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Further north of the preserve is the Colossal Cave Mountain Park, where residents can enjoy horseback riding, hiking, camping and more.
