Overview
Blackstone is the guard-gated luxury address inside the Vistancia master plan, wrapped around a private Jim Engh-designed 18-hole golf course. Homes range from semi-custom production up to multi-million-dollar custom estates on view lots against the Sonoran foothills.
Lifestyle & the Club
Blackstone Country Club is optional — you can own here without a membership. The club itself includes the private course, a full clubhouse with dining, resort pool, fitness center, tennis, and pickleball. Golf and social membership tiers are offered separately.
Homes & builders
Semi-custom production plans by Toll Brothers, Camelot, and others sit alongside custom estates from Arizona's top luxury builders. Architecture is contemporary desert, Tuscan, Santa Barbara, and modern-transitional.

Who Blackstone is for
Luxury buyers who want privacy, a private championship golf course, and premium construction — without the age restriction of Trilogy. If you don't need golf or a gate, Vistancia's Village offers most of the master-plan amenities at a much lower price point.
Frequently asked questions
›Is Blackstone Country Club membership required?
No — you can buy a home in Blackstone without joining the club. The Jim Engh-designed golf course, clubhouse, tennis, pickleball, resort pool, and fitness are members-only, with separate golf and social membership tiers. Many buyers do join; some don't.
›Is Blackstone guard-gated 24/7?
Yes. Blackstone is a guard-gated community with 24/7 staffed entry, and several sub-neighborhoods inside have their own additional gates.
›What are typical price points?
Blackstone spans semi-custom production homes in the $900K–$1.5M range up to custom estates on view lots at $3M+. Golf-course and mountain-view lots command significant premiums.
›What are the HOA and CFD costs?
Blackstone carries HOA dues (community + Vistancia master), plus a CFD assessment on the tax bill. Club membership, if elected, is separate. I'll pull a full carrying-cost breakdown for any home you're considering.
