There's a reason Better Homes & Gardens keeps turning its lens toward Viviente at Sandy Beach. Over the last several months, three of our new-construction homes — Casa Valle, Casa Duna, and Casa Viento — have each earned their own magazine spread, and standing among them, you understand why. Clean desert-modern lines. Walls of glass framing the Sea of Cortez. Finishes you'd expect in a design magazine rather than a turnkey new build.
But the real headline for anyone shopping Rocky Point real estate is this: Viviente wasn't designed for one kind of buyer. Homes and build packages on Sandy Beach start at just $264,000, and climb through these three showcase residences into fully custom territory. In other words, there's a Sea of Cortez dream home here for nearly every budget.
Consider this a case study in what new construction in Rocky Point looks like today — told through three homes that each solve a different buyer's wish list.
Casa Valle — The Custom Dream You Can Build, From $525,000
Casa Valle is the one that stops you at the curb: bold desert-modern lines, a dramatic entry, and the promise of the water waiting just beyond. Step inside and soaring ceilings crown a great room where sliding walls of glass erase the line between indoors and out. A built-in feature wall anchors the living space — the kind of detail that makes a home feel truly custom, not cookie-cutter.
The kitchen is the showpiece: a waterfall quartz island beneath a row of pendant lights, crisp cabinetry, and floor-to-ceiling storage that climbs all the way to the tall ceilings. The primary suite is a calm retreat with a spa-style bath, freestanding soaking tub, and a walk-in closet finished with custom built-ins. Then you step outside, and resort living becomes everyday life: a private pool glowing against the evening sky, a covered patio built for long dinners, and a full outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill.
Casa Valle isn't just a home to admire — it's a blueprint. For the buyer who wants to design their own place on Sandy Beach, our team handles everything start to finish (design, permits, and construction) with a home like this starting at $525,000.

Casa Duna — Warm, Tactile Luxury on a Clubhouse Corner Lot, $475,000
If Casa Valle is confident, Casa Duna is composed. Set on one of Viviente's most coveted corner lots — directly across from the clubhouse and the community's sweeping green open space — this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is a study in warm, tactile luxury. Think honeyed natural-wood cabinetry, book-matched stone, brushed-brass fixtures, and daylight pouring through black-framed glass.
The chef's kitchen is built for the serious cook: a thick marble island with a full waterfall edge, a professional-grade stainless range with brushed-brass knobs beneath a bespoke plaster hood, and a hand-laid stacked-stone backsplash that climbs the full wall. In the living room, a custom linear fireplace and media wall turns the space into a "stay a while" room. And then Duna's signature moment — a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone feature wall, dramatically uplit so the whole surface seems to glow from within.
Here's what truly sets Casa Duna apart: every one of its three bedrooms is a genuine ensuite, each with its own spa-caliber bath. The home lives like it has three master suites — pure gold for families who value privacy, hosts who love guests, or owners weighing premium nightly-rental appeal.
Add custom wood walk-in closets, a jewel-box powder room, and a finished two-car garage, and Casa Duna is offered under construction at $475,000 — a rare chance to lock in a designer-finished, three-suite home before it's complete.

Casa Viento — Corner-Lot Beauty, $465,000, Ready in ~90 Days
Casa Viento is about the house and the address. It sits on one of the best corner lots in all of Viviente — directly across from the gorgeous clubhouse and its green open space, with a front-row seat to community life on Sandy Beach. A dramatic slanted roofline lifts the great room into soaring, light-filled space, while a wall of glass pulls the outdoors in and a sculptural black chandelier anchors the room.
The kitchen keeps the wow going with a waterfall-edge island, crisp cabinetry, and stainless appliances open to the living space. With three bedrooms, three full baths, spa-style glass showers, and a two-car garage — a rare and welcome touch on Sandy Beach — there's room for family and guests alike. Out back, a covered patio and pool set the stage for long Sonoran sunsets and easy entertaining.
For the buyer who wants a premier location now, Viento delivers. It's for sale under construction and completing in roughly 90 days, so you can lock in this corner lot today at $465,000 and still have time to make it your own.

Three Homes, Three Budgets — One Sandy Beach Address
Line the three up and the strategy behind Viviente comes into focus. Casa Viento at $465,000 is the move-in-soon corner lot. Casa Duna at $475,000 is the designer, three-suite showpiece. Casa Valle from $525,000 is the fully custom build. And beneath them all, the community opens at just $264,000 — so whether you're a first-time buyer of Rocky Point real estate, a snowbird trading Arizona winters for the Sea of Cortez, or an investor chasing rental-friendly beach homes, there's an entry point that fits.
That's what makes Sandy Beach one of the most exciting stretches of Rocky Point real estate right now: new construction, resort amenities, and a genuine range of prices — all just 65 miles south of the Arizona border and under four hours from Phoenix.
