Ponticello  set to fill the demand…….

Electronic Communities, Inc. (ECI) which is a privately held Nevada real estate investment and development firm announced the availability of  the Ponticello Development.

Ponticello is a new luxury  master-planned residential community nestled in the foothills of Oro Valley.

Oro Valley is recognized as one of the desert southwest’s most affluent communities and is just 6 miles north of Tucson itself.

The Ponticello Development  is a 250-acre, gated private mesa that will offer its owners  a sophisticated resort lifestyle.

It is accessed  by a private bridge, and  is situated  the Santa Catalina Mountains to the East,, Catalina State Park,Coronado National Forest, and the existing  La Reserve community.

The developers  have a lot of experience within the real estate arena, and have developed projects throughout the country.

The community is set against the breathtaking, 7,000-foot granite cliffs of Pusch Ridge, and  boasts 85 premium estate lots. The lots offer incredible 360-degree views of the mountains, canyons, sunsets and city lights. The land lots  will  range in size from one-third acre to four and three-quarter acres and are priced from $250,000 to $2,000,000.

The Development will be crafted after a European town in Tuscan design NOT Tucson design (no pun intended!).

 Ponticello will have a sense of community with fountains, winding streets, and massive gardens that will evoke the intimacy of a small Italian village.

The town center will be called named Centrale’ and it will offer world-class resort amenities such as a health spa, tennis, swimming, golf simulator, workout facilities, a  roman-style mini-amphitheater and also a private intimate restaurant.

Those visiting the residents of Ponticello will be able to enjoy the facilities in one of the guest Casitas.

As with most new developments in the Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, and Vail areas, the community is preserving the natural habitat and approximately 50% of the Ponticello is being reserved as "green space" with  hiking trails and walkways  for residents to enjoy the desert wildlife and environment.

The Buyers at Ponticello are able to  choose their own architect ,and builder or utilize ECI’s sister company, Benchmark Homes, Inc.

However the builder will have to follow a strict set of design guidelines, to have energy efficiency, zero scape landscapes, and European Architecture.

The roads and infrastructure construction has been underway for three years. You may have noticed the bridge on your travels up Oracle Road.

Public reports are complete and sales are now able to be taken.

Maybe we will not have to visit Tuscany after all as long as great wine is being served in this new Oro Valley Community!!!
