Madera Highlands is 600 acres of high Sonoran desert and includes over 300 acres of mature pecan groves. Located 20 minutes south of Tucson, Madera Highlands was envisioned to allow residents to live outside the city in a natural setting. The master plan allowed for 1,800 single-family homesites, 300 apartment units, a school site, and 15 acres of retail, office, medical campus space. The project was sold to a number of large publicly traded homebuilders.
