Piñon Homes Breaks Ground On Model Homes In Show Low BluffSHOW LOW, ARIZONA. – Aug. 15, 2007 –
Piñon Homes, a venture backed by Arizona real estate veterans, has initiated construction on three model homes in Arizona’s hottest new place to cool off.
Piñon Homes is building three model homes within the
Show Low Bluff master planned community in the White Mountains. This distinctive collection - priced from the mid $300s - includes six home plans ranging from 1,692 to 2,524 square feet. Home site sales are underwaywith models scheduled to open this fall.
While concerns about the softening real estate market top the headlines, Arizona remains on target for overall growth. National research shows continued population expansion in metropolitan Phoenix including an increase among families seeking a vacation home. These buyers want more than just a home in a cooler climate; they are seeking a beautiful retreat with small-town charm and modern conveniences.
“We’re providing an all-inclusive package,” said Mel Stein, Piñon Homes vice president of construction. “Our residents will enjoy a thriving outdoor atmosphere with activities for the whole family, spectacular mountain views and a generously appointed home designed for their lifestyle.”
To achieve this, Piñon Homes partnered with nationally recognized Bloodgood Sharp Buster Architects. Open flowing Great Room concepts, large inviting front porches and rear decks, and gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and wood burning fireplaces are among the luxurious standard features that distinguish these homes. Rugged stone details accentuate the mountain craftsman, prairie and traditional bungalow exterior designs.
Numerous options allow buyers to create a home geared to their lifestyle with exercise rooms, master sitting rooms, guest suites, additional garage bays and more. Spacious decks, covered patios and secluded master patios provide the perfect setting for breathtaking views. If desired, buyers may create a home plan with almost equal indoor and outdoor living space, Stein said. The welcoming community of Show Low Bluff offers the ideal setting for these homes with wide-ranging planned amenities including a 14-mile network of hiking trails shaded by a canopy of lush trees, a quaint community swimming hole, ample parks, sports fields and more. Community life will focus around The Hub, a vibrant town center anticipated to offer numerous shops, restaurants and an outdoor theater.
Nearby homeowners will enjoy the best the White Mountains has to offer with dozens of natural lakes ideal for boating, fishing and camping. Skiing, mountain biking, golf and other activities are also available nearby.
Once known as a quiet hamlet, Show Low is welcoming tremendous new growth led by Show Low Bluff. The development follows the demand of more Phoenix and Tucson residents seeking an affordable vacation home within a 3-hour drive.
“It’s not surprising that many families are embracing this ground-floor opportunity,” Stein said. “The area has a special charm, four-seasons of outdoor activities and is easily accessible.” Piñon Homes unites the real estate, sales and home building expertise of Kanter, Mel Stein and Elliot Pollack. Stein will capitalize on his 10 years of experience as president and owner of Sonoran Desert Homes, which has continuously ranked among Arizona’s top-25 custom builders since 2002. Kanter brings more than 20-years experience as a successful entrepreneur. Pollack is widely recognized as a preeminent consultant and economist, producing Arizona’s most comprehensive real estate database.
Show Low Bluff, currently zoned for 3,735 residential units, will have nine neighborhoods— Adams Park, Beale Park, Clark Point, Cluff Park East, Cluff Park West, Cooley Creek, Huning Ranch Park, Sitgreaves Park, and Summerhaye Park.
