Maracay Homes is celebrating the grand opening of Marathon Ranch on Saturday, June 9, offering Arizona homebuyers a first look at the highly anticipated highly anticipated community located southeast of Riggs and Val Vista roads in Gilbert.

The grand opening event will include a neighborhood gathering from 12–3 p.m., featuring a catered barbecue lunch and refreshments. Potential homebuyers are encouraged to attend the event and meet with Maracay’s New Home Advisors, tour the new, beautifully-appointed model homes and learn more about all the neighborhood amenities available. 

Marathon Ranch’s gated, 63-home enclave features a secluded tree-lined entrance that welcomes guests into the walkable community, featuring oversized homesites (up to a quarter acre in size) and neighborhood amenities that encourage community interaction.

All homes will be registered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a third-party rating system that verifies compliance across several areas addressing sustainability, with the goal of earning the LEED® Certified designation. Designed to use 30–50 percent less energy than typical homes, each home will meet the EPA’s Indoor airPLUS specifications, and will feature water-efficient fixtures, LED lighting, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, Energy Star® appliances, tankless water heaters and Wi-Fi enabled, programmable thermostats.

Designed with the outdoors in mind, Marathon Ranch offers residents plenty of opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and soak up the more than 300 days of sunshine per year, without ever leaving the neighborhood – whether picking up a game at the horseshoe or basketball courts, taking the kids out for some fun at the shaded tot lot and ramada, or bringing together friends and family for a picnic at the turf play lawn with barbecue grill. The community is also conveniently situated with direct access to the future Marathon Trail that connects walkers, joggers and cyclists to Gilbert’s Central Trail System, featuring 135 miles of intersecting paths that weave through the town and most of its parks. 

Marathon Ranch may feel like a rural community tucked away from the rush of daily life, but residents still enjoy easy access to Gilbert’s highly rated schools, iconic downtown entertainment district and major Valley employers via the Santan Freeway and nearby major expressways.

Each of the single-story floorplans range in size from 3,432 to 4,345 square feet, and provide enough space to accommodate a wide variety of living situations and lifestyles. In addition to the sustainable features that are available, residents will also enjoy up to six bedrooms and four-car garages, expansive great rooms, spacious kitchens and FlexDesign® options tailored to meet each family’s individual needs. 

All homes are Energy Star® certified, in addition to being registered with the USBGC. The homes also include Maracay Homes’ Living Smart® program for high performance and energy efficiency.
