The uniqueness of Terravita is apparent in everything from the development of the community name to the creation of its land plan. The original name is taken from the Latin words for Land and Life. Throughout the development of Terravita's environmentally sensitive layout, the "harmony of land and life" has been the foundation on which it's built.

Terravita Real Estate: Land Preservation and Protection

In order to protect, preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the surrounding high Sonoran Desert, several steps have been taken to minimize Terravita's impact. The architectural planning, site selection and construction techniques have all been carefully designed to give structures a minimal impact visually while harmonizing with the environment.

Through every step of the development process, including everything from landscaping to golf course irrigation, all standards of the Scottsdale Environmentally Sensitive Land Ordinance (ESLO) have been met or exceeded. Terravita's single-story design goes beyond the ESLO guidelines with utilization of materials, colors and forms that reflect the natural desert in conjunction with low-pitched, non-reflective flat tile roofs.

The delicate native desert climate that surrounds the Terravita community is thoroughly integrated into the neighborhood landscaping. Indigenous or approved drought-tolerant trees, shrubs and ground cover make up each lot. As an added level of desert plant life protection, Terravita has implemented a comprehensive native plant relocation program. Through this program, Terravita's development includes over 1,100 mature trees and cacti to be salvaged and distributed throughout the community.
