Continental Ranch is a sprawling master-planned community in Marana, Arizona just 15 miles northwest of Tucson. Within this large community is the Del Webb neighborhood of Continental Ranch Sunflower. With 967 homes, the Del Webb portion of Continental Ranch offers an intimate setting for Arizona retirees in search of a private active adult golf course community. The location is within minutes from downtown Tucson and within two hours of Phoenix.

Continental Ranch Del Webb was built between 1998 and 2002. Today buyers can choose from a nice selection of resale homes priced from the mid $100’s to the high $200’s. When built as new construction there were ten unique single-family ranch floor plans to choose from sized from 1,100 to almost 2,000 square feet. The Del Webb designed homes all featured 2 or 3 bedrooms, open living spaces, relaxing master suites and 2-car garages.

Although the community is on the smaller side, the amenities are still grand. Residents of this lovely Arizona active adult community enjoy private access to the community clubhouse and fitness complex. The facilities feature a fitness center, aerobics studio, hobby and craft rooms, library and billiards tables. Outdoor amenities include a sparkling swimming pool, tennis and bocce ball courts, horseshoe pits, walking and biking trails plus a convenient putting green.

A very unique feature of the community is the challenging golf course set within a rock quarry. The neighboring quarry was abandoned in 2000 at which time the town of Marana and the golf course owner decided to make the most of the space and incorporate it into some challenging holes. Ten of the eighteen holes are designed within the quarry making for stunning landscape and dramatic elevation changes.

As with most Arizona active adult communities, outdoor recreation abounds within the community and the surrounding areas too. Tucson offers hiking, mountain biking, skiing and camping. Two parks are located within 16 miles from the community. The Tucson Mountain County Park and the Coronado National Forest both offer an abundance of exciting recreational opportunities.

Whether enjoying the amenities within the Continental Ranch Sunflower community or spending the day discovering local treasures, there is always something new to discover. There is also a full-time activities director on-staff coordinating special interest clubs, classes, social events, holiday parties and more. Every day is a new adventure!
