“These events are the perfect way to see what life at Ardiente is all about,” said Kyle Tibbitts, general manager. “Our homeowners say they never knew how nice it was going to be to have a whole world of activity right outside their front door.”

At The Good Life Festival, homebuyers will also have the opportunity to see the brand new Refresh outdoor-centric model home during its official grand opening Saturday. At 1,881 square feet, the Refresh is part of the popular Portofino collection, and it features two luxurious bedrooms, two spa-like baths, den and a two-car garage. Pricing on starts in the high $200,000s.

“As an outdoor-centric plan, this home offers indoor/outdoor living at its finest. When you live in the beautiful desert, it’s important that you have a home that allows you to take in that beauty wherever you are,” Tibbitts said.
