Maracay Homes over the holiday weekend announced the grand opening of Marathon Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona on Saturday, June 9.
The grand opening event will include a neighborhood gathering from 12–3 p.m., featuring a catered barbecue lunch and refreshments.
Marathon Ranch’s gated, 63-home enclave features a secluded tree-lined entrance that welcomes guests into the walkable community, featuring oversized home sites (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% 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 horseshoe or basketball courts, a shaded tot lot and ramada, and a 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 offers easy access to Gilbert’s highly rated schools, its 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.
