Town and Country Development's philosophy is to ensure that your environment is as special and beautiful as your home. We built a stone entrance and we paved gently winding roads that lead to each lot. We constructed bridges with tastefully designed pavers and stone walls to cross the shallow washes that run through the area. We also re-vegetated and seeded disturbed desert areas with native plants, which we water regularly with an underground watering system.

The infrastructure for your electric, gas, water, phone and cable hookup is completed and in place. Each lot is also approved by the town of Cave Creek for a septic system.

Yes. The Highlands has an Architectural Committee that consists of a licensed architect, general contractor, developer and realtor. The committee must approve building plans before you submit them for review to Cave Creek's Planning and Zoning Department. The Architectural Committee's objective is to follow the Highlands at Canyon Ridge Architectural Rules to ensure each home blends with the desert environment and does not obstruct a Highlands neighbor's view.
