My home search took me all over Tucson, Vail, Oro Valley, and Sahuarita in the months that followed. I had expected all the communities to be as beautiful as Madera Highlands but kept finding myself back in Madera Highlands.
I grew up in Nebraska where I could see an expansive landscape. All Nebraska afforded was unexciting a view of cows and corn though. Madera Highlands replaced the cows with a lush Green Pecan Farm, surrounded by expansive desert preserve teeming with life, all in the shadow of a 9,452 ft peak and mountain range. I was in love with the setting.
This was in 2009. I left engineering in 2011 and got my Real Estate license. After showing countless homes. After driving over 120,000 miles in Pima County for work… I still have not found another place I would call home.

There are many reasons to like Madera Highlands. Here are a few things I have come to appreciate most.
- Surrounded by Santa Rita Desert Preserve
- Adjacent 14 mile long pecan farm
- 20 minutes from Tucson
- 30 minutes from Mexico
- No big city traffic
- Next to Madera Canyon
- Under shadow of 9,452 ft Mount Wrightson
- Dark sky laws preserve night sky views of stars
- Lots of trees throughout community
- Two parks with big grass areas for kids to play
There are currently over 1,500 home sites in Madera Highlands. You can buy resale by Richmond American, Lennar, Meritage, and Toll Brothers. Or you can have a new home built by Meritgage or Richmond American. These home-sites range from cozy spots near the park to gated luxury lots with mountain views.
