Camelot Homes is bringing 19 luxury residences to Peoria’s 5,300-acre Saddleback community by Castle Hill Partners. Set in the Sonoran Desert near Lake Pleasant, the gated homes will feature desert views, 3,000–5,500 sq. ft. floorplans, and 1/3-acre lots. With sales and construction beginning in 2026, the project combines Camelot’s award-winning design with Saddleback’s natural beauty and prime West Valley location.

Two of the nation’s largest homebuilders buy the first nearly 600 lots at Saddleback, a new 5,300-acre master-planned community being developed in north Peoria. Construction on first homes is expected to begin in 2026. Lennar, purchasing 289 lots, and Taylor Morrison Homes, purchasing 293 lots, are the first two homebuilders to buy land at Saddleback, being developed by Austin-based Castle Hill Partners. Camelot Homes is also under contract for 19 larger lots.

Developers officially broke ground on the Saddleback residential community, celebrating the 5,300-acre development set to bring 6,500 homesites to an area tucked away within the Sonoran Mountains.

Just five minutes away from Lake Pleasant, the master planned community will incorporate more than 2,500 acres of open space and over 60 miles of trails to the property. It will offer 60-plus acres of public parks and a variety of private parks and facilities.

Development has begun on a new residential community that is expected to bring 6,500 homes to the West Valley.

Castle Hill Partners recently participated in a groundbreaking event to commemorate the work that was beginning on the 5,300-acre community known as Saddleback, in reference to the nearby Saddleback Mountain range in northern Peoria.
