Homes sit on generous lots, many of four acres or more, with long views of saguaros, boulders and the Tortolita ridgeline. The highest sale ever recorded in the community, 13781 N Old Ranch House Road at $5,800,000 in November 2026, was our listing.

Ask us about this →The entrance tunnel and staffed gate set the tone: once inside, roads wind through open desert rather than past rows of houses. Most of the land is preserved, so neighbors are spread out and the views stay open.
Ask us about this →Saguaro Ranch is recorded in the MLS in several sections: Saguaro Ranch, Saguaro Ranch South Amended, Saguaro Ranch II and Moonlight Canyon at Saguaro Ranch, where newer homes sit on smaller lots. Custom estates on four-acre and larger homesites make up the original sections.
Ask us about this →Saguaro Ranch is a separate community next to Dove Mountain, not part of it. Dove Mountain’s golf, the Ritz-Carlton and Marana’s shopping are nearby, while the Ranch itself stays quiet and private.
Ask us about this →Before you decide
An owners club membership is optional and separate from the property owners association dues. Confirm current terms for each home.
On large desert lots, the building envelope, drainage and preserved areas decide how much land you can actually use.
Moonlight Canyon homes and the original estate sections sell very differently, so compare sales within the same section.
