Just in time for the holidays, the community's first homeowners settled into their brand new Griffin Ranch home. One of the first to move in was Mark and Maggie Croudy whose Madeira home closed escrow on Maggie's birthday, just a few days before Thanksgiving.

"We came to tour the models in early spring," Maggie recalls. "It was love at first sight. We were impressed by everything – the setting, the exceptional floor plans, the architecture, and the outstanding appointments and detailing. We selected our dream home, a Madeira Plan Two with over 3,100 square feet and a grand rear yard for a pool and outdoor kitchen. We love having all the room and space to entertain, the great sense of privacy and the magnificent views."

While the Croudys are not horse enthusiasts, they appreciate the exclusivity and the lifestyle that distinguishes Griffin Ranch including the outstanding recreational and social activities that will be offered at The Griffin Club.

"It's easy to see that Griffin Ranch will be a real community with neighbors visiting and having get-togethers. It's the best of all worlds here," Maggie says with a smile.

For the sophisticated buyer, Griffin Ranch offers something for everyone. The community recently debuted their Castilla Collection, a new level of upscale single-family residences that affords many the opportunity to live here.

Griffin Ranch also offers one-acre custom homesites to create and build a custom home. Four custom homes will be under construction soon and offered for sale. Click on Real Estate for more information on each of the four collections and custom home opportunities.
