The elevation ranges from 200 feet to 800 feet and Santaluz Homes have made a commitment to preserving the diverse terrain. There are 1,000 acres of open space, dramatic ridge lines, deep ravines and gentle hillsides. 80% of the dwellings  have some view. The intention was to create a rustic village that is respectful of the land. The result has been a natural, native California landscape with color and green – not desert but not ornamental.

To enhance the feeling of living with nature, the home sites have been developed as circular: 20 different home styles ranging from 2000-7000 square feet in all different configurations with the land running through it, carefully sculpted to blend with its natural environment. Consequently, there will be 200-300 feet between homes. In addition to custom home sites, six guest builders’ homes have interspersed throughout Santaluz homes to build a greater sense of community. One third to one half of the housing is single story. Home prices will range from $800,000 – $6,000,000.

The entire community is gated: everyone entering Santaluz Homes  pass through the gate. The center of the community is a 11-acre village green, a gathering spot for community gatherings, concerts-on-the-lawn, etc. Behind the village green is a 19,000 square foot community building (single story), including a gymnasium, a multipurpose room, workout facilities, pool, and cafe/coffee house. Behind the community building there are 6 tennis courts and a 35,000 square foot clubhouse and private golf course. This is a community with a private club, offering social, golf, and community interaction.
