Defined by low-density planning, dramatic desert topography, and a strong emphasis on privacy and architectural integrity, the community offers a rare sense of space, tranquility, and a level of refinement that draws discerning buyers from across the country. Anchored by the nationally acclaimed Jay Morrish-designed golf course, Stone Canyon strikes a balance between understated luxury and relaxed desert living, appealing to those who value privacy, natural beauty, and a more intimate club atmosphere.
The community consists of approximately 800 homesites divided among The Casitas, Boulder Vista, The Enclave, Stone Gate, Tuscan Estates, and a collection of custom estate properties. Through the first five months of 2026, Stone Canyon has experienced an active luxury market with 16 closed sales, 5 pending transactions, and 22 homes currently available for purchase as of June 1st.
