Rosewood Homes has started development on its Golf Villas neighborhood in the master-planned community of Estrella in Goodyear, Ariz. The builder will construct 61 homes in the gated community tucked into the surrounding mountain landscape along the Golf Club of Estrella.
Golf Villas will offer home buyers their choice of four floor plans in a variety of architectural styles that range in size from approximately 1,886 to 2,891 square feet. Three of the four home designs will be single-story plans while the fourth is designed as a partial two-story plan with the master suite located on the first floor. Each home at Rosewood’s Golf Villas will include standard features along with numerous opportunities to personalize each home, including optional “disappearing walls of glass” that provide seamless indoor/outdoor living.
Floor Plans
Here's more information from Rosewood Homes on its Golf Villas floor plans:
We will be offering 4-different “floor plans” with 3 of the 4 plans designed as single-story homes (Residence One, Two and Three) while the largest home (Residence Four) is a partial two-story design with the “master suite” on the first floor.
The 61-homes will consist of 17-Triplexes and 10-Duplexes constructed on 61-“fee simple lots” with each “building” offered in a choice of 3-different but complementary architectural styles (Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean and Ranch Hacienda).
The Triplexes are designed with single-story homes (Residence One and Two) always on an “end” while the “middle” home can be either a Residence Three or Four.
The Residence One is 45-foot wide and the Residence Two is 46-feet wide. The “middle home” (choice of Residence Three or Four) is always 50-feet wide.
We made the “middle home” 50-feet wide so it didn’t suffer the typical “middle home syndrome.” This provides more glass on the rear that brings in additional light and enhances the golf (and mountain) views that more than compensates for having homes “attached” on each side. And designing the “middle home” at 50-feet wide helped create a more desirable 2-story home with 1stfloor master suite.
Each Golf Villas home will be constructed (and independently tested) for sustainability with properties designed to be 40% more energy efficient than current building code requirements, and 60-to-70% more efficient than most pre-owned homes.
Homeowners will use a private road leading to a gated entry with a view of the 10th hole of the Golf Club of Estrella and nearby desert scenery. The development will feature open space spread throughout the community with 59% of the site preserved for a mix of passive and active recreational uses. The unique neighborhood is designed in a manner where homes are never placed back-to-back or directly across the street from another home, enhancing each homeowner’s privacy and views, according to Rosewood.
Golf Villas homeowners will also have access to numerous resident amenities within Estrella including two residents clubs – each offering a wide variety of features including resort-style swimming pools, exercise studios and a vast range of activities and community events. The community also boasts more than 72 acres of lakes for boating and catch and release fishing, community access to 40-plus miles of walking, hiking and biking trails, and multiple neighborhood parks with volleyball, basketball, Pickle Ball, and tennis courts.
Originally, the City of Goodyear and the master developer said 86 homes could be built on the property. However, Rosewood reduced the number to 61 to minimize land development costs and to maximize mountain and golf course views.
Rosewood expects models to start in late spring or early Summer with an estimated grand opening in the fall. The first residents are expected to move in spring 2019.
