Small lots and covenant rules
Ventana Ranch was built with small lots, short setbacks and design rules that cover almost everything visible from the street. A Ventana Ranch remodel takes one standard unit on the driveway, and we place it as far back toward the garage as the drive allows.
Homeowners in Ventana Ranch often ask how long it will be visible, so we work out the pickup date at delivery. A Ventana Ranch rental that comes off the day the crew finishes avoids a conversation nobody wants to have.
Parks, trails and community events
The Ventana Ranch parks and trail loop carry a steady calendar of community events, sports and seasonal gatherings. A Ventana Ranch park booking takes two or three standard units on the paved apron, an ADA accessible unit near the path and a handwashing station by the food.
Trail repair and landscape replacement give Ventana Ranch its other park work, usually a week or two at a time. Those Ventana Ranch units go at a trailhead or maintenance access point on gravel. Walkers use the Ventana Ranch loop from first light, so the unit sits off the path rather than beside it.
Mesa wind, gravel and the monsoon
Ventana Ranch sits high and open on the mesa where the spring wind runs without anything to slow it down. Every Ventana Ranch unit is staked or ballasted and set in the lee of a wall, a fence or a stack of material.
Monsoon runoff finds the Ventana Ranch arroyos and the engineered drainage channels quickly in July and August. We keep a Ventana Ranch unit clear of those channels and on gravel or pavement that will not wash out.
