D.R. Horton Acquires First Lots in Entrada Del Toro at Rancho Sahuarita

SAHUARITA, Ariz. (December 2, 2025) — In a quiet but significant move marking the builder’s return to the Rancho Sahuarita master-planned community, D.R. Horton has purchased 30 finished lots in the new Entrada Del Toro neighborhood. The sale closed on November 20, 2025, for $2,825,625 ($94,188 per lot).

The acquisition represents D.R. Horton’s first foothold within Entrada Del Toro, one of Rancho Sahuarita’s newest residential phases on the community’s growing southern side. While Horton has previously built homes in other Rancho Sahuarita neighborhoods, this bulk purchase signals the company’s next chapter within the 3,000-acre master plan.

A Strategic Early Entry into Entrada Del Toro

The lots are part of an active development phase within Entrada Del Toro, where subdivision improvements are still underway. D.R. Horton’s purchase positions the builder early in the neighborhood’s buildout as remaining lots move toward completion. Entrada Del Toro is one of several new neighborhoods expanding the community’s residential capacity and diversifying its homebuilder lineup, which already includes Lennar, KB Home, Richmond American, Meritage Homes and Century Communities.

Rancho Sahuarita has not yet issued a public press release regarding Horton’s entry into the neighborhood, suggesting that formal announcements may align with model home construction or an upcoming builder rollout.

A Community Recognized for Affordability and Quality of Life

In 2024, the Town of Sahuarita was named one of the “50 Most Affordable Suburbs in the U.S.” by a national suburban-affordability ranking cited by local real-estate media. The write-up highlighted Rancho Sahuarita as the heart of Sahuarita’s appeal, emphasizing its combination of affordable, high-quality homes and strong community amenities — factors that continue to draw residents into the rapidly growing I-19 corridor.

Momentum Continues in Sahuarita’s Expanding Housing Market

The addition of D.R. Horton marks another milestone in Sahuarita’s residential growth cycle. Demand remains steady in the I-19 corridor, with Rancho Sahuarita continuing to draw families seeking amenities, schools, parks, and master-planned features that have defined the community for more than two decades.

Entrada Del Toro has emerged as a key component of the community’s next phase, incorporating updated design standards, enhanced connectivity, and new recreational elements. Horton’s participation is expected to bring a new product lineup and price range to the area once models begin vertical construction.

The 30-lot acquisition positions Horton as one of the core builders in the Entrada Del Toro subdivision, expanding housing options in one of Southern Arizona’s most active residential corridors.
