A premier Catalina Foothills community offering world-class golf, dramatic mountain views, and a luxury resort lifestyle.
Ventana Canyon is a master-planned community renowned for its ability to blend luxury living with the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The real estate here is strictly zoned to maintain low profiles and earth tones, ensuring every home complements the natural surroundings. The community offers a diverse range of options, from the maintenance-free Ventana Canyon Golf Villas—perfect for winter residents and "lock-and-leave" lifestyles—to the multi-million dollar custom estates found in Ventana Mountain Estates.
Security and privacy are paramount here, with most subdivisions featuring gated entries and several offering 24-hour guard-gated service. Whether you are looking for a patio home on the fairway or a secluded sanctuary high in the foothills, the properties in Ventana Canyon are defined by their dramatic views of city lights and the sheer rock cliffs of the Santa Catalina Mountains.
Life in Ventana Canyon is anchored by the prestigious Ventana Canyon Club and Lodge and the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Residents enjoy access to two stunning 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Tom Fazio: the Mountain Course, famous for its "Whaleback" rock formation, and the Canyon Course, which winds through the Esperero Canyon. Beyond golf, the area is a haven for hikers, with the Ventana Canyon Trailhead located right within the resort grounds, offering direct access to seasonal waterfalls and rugged desert terrain.
Despite its secluded feel, the community is exceptionally convenient. Families are served by the top-rated Catalina Foothills School District (District 16), including Ventana Vista Elementary and Catalina Foothills High School. For dining and shopping, residents are just minutes from La Encantada, local favorites like the Flying V Bar & Grill, and daily conveniences at Plaza Colonial.
